How to Combine 2 Interface cells?

Hello,

i am new to Openhab 3 and and try to “create my first Dashboard”.
Is there a way to add a “second Stat” to a cell?

for example:
I add a cell “from a think” → my Socket for my Server so I can see if the socket is on oder off, i can add trendline that all works.
Now a want to add to this cell a second value → the power consumption i want this on right side of this cell.
Is the only way here to create a custom widget? I tried but i am really really bad here.

here is a pic “in basic” i want “these both cells in one cell”.

You need to create a custom widget. See Building Pages - Components & Widgets | openHAB.

i saw this already but for me this is to “complicated” :joy:

it just looks complex, but additionally to the page that Rich pointed you to, there are good examples out there in the community with similar widgets you want where you can learn from… just give it a go… last but not least I have perceived this community as very helpful in case of questions if you get stuck.

Hallo,
I have started “tinkering”. At least I get the consumption and a PowerButton displayed.
What I can not manage:

  • Is there a possibility “that the whole button is an ON/OFF switch” or how do I define the size of the button.

Wie gesagt das ist für mich alles Absolut neu, gibt es irgendwo eine Verständlich “Befehlsübersicht”?
Ich sehe ja z.b. action: toggle aber was kann Ich bei Action Command reinschreiben z.b. ?

Hi, I respond in English as this is an English forum. To make the widget a button, you can use oh-link instead of a oh-button

would look like this:

- component: oh-link
  config:
    action: toggle
    actionItem: =props.itemPower
    actionCommand: ON
    actionCommandAlt: OFF
    style:
      position: absolute
      width: 100%
      height: 100%
      top: 0
      left: 0
      z-index: 0

Sorry i forgot, i translated my last Post.
Thanks for your answer, i change it to your post but nothing is “clickable”

you had a couple of minor errors in the f7 block and at the f7-card you forgot the config:

Here is my result and code, maybe something can improved here.

I have a Problem, i tested my widget, the Problem is the second stat (in the picture 27W) is not show with all items.
I tested it with my air Purifier and set the second stat to Humidty then only the graf is shown but no the value.
Can i somewhere find “a code reference”?

edit found the solution here:
Custom Widget Item Properties - #3 by ysc?

shouldn“t z-index be 999 or any other high value so that it stays on top of all elements?

Thanks Oliver2 good hint. Like i said for this is totally new.

i don’t think that the z-index makes a difference here, but I noticed if I change from slots: content: to slots: default: the full box is the link. With slots: content: this breaks up if you hoover over.

The problem is likely using only the display state. Not every item has a display state, this is only available if the state description pattern has been set, I believe. So this value will be blank in the items dict for items without a set pattern. This is why, for example the default code that comes up with a new widget has:

content: =items[props.item].displayState || items[props.item].state

This uses the displayState unless there isn’t one at which point it falls back to the basic state. Try replicating that statement in your label’s text.
