I am used the demo.items and demo.sitemap as a basis for my project.
As shown in demo.sitemap it uses ‘Group’ to list the items under that group.
sitemap demo label="Main Menu"
{
Frame {
Group item=gFF label="First Floor" icon="firstfloor"
Group item=gGF label="Ground Floor" icon="groundfloor"
Group item=gC label="Cellar" icon="cellar"
Group item=Garden icon="garden"
}
Group gFF "First Floor" <firstfloor>
Group gGF "Ground Floor" <groundfloor>
Group gC "Cellar" <cellar>
Group Garden "Garden" <garden>
Group Weather "Weather" <sun>
Group Status
Group Shutters
Group GF_Living "Living Room" <video> (gGF)
Group GF_Kitchen "Kitchen" <kitchen> (gGF)
Group GF_Toilet "Toilet" <bath> (gGF)
Group GF_Corridor "Corridor" <corridor> (gGF)
Dimmer Light_GF_Living_Table "Table" (GF_Living, Lights) ["Lighting"]
Switch Light_GF_Corridor_Ceiling "Ceiling" (GF_Corridor, Lights)
Switch Light_GF_Kitchen_Ceiling "Ceiling" (GF_Kitchen, Lights)
In this way, it will not need any addition in the site map, which is really cool
The question is:
I want to add ‘setpoint’ (in sitemap) in order to use it to set the temperature of a thermostat, but this will not comply with the above configuration.
What can be done in this case? Is there a way to avoid re-configuring the whole sitemap?
Not really. You can either use a Group element to put all the members of a Group on your sitemap using the Item defaults, or you have to list each item on the sitemap individually which will let you use a Setpoint with a Number Item instead of the default Text.
Number SetTemp_FF_Office_internal "Office-Internal [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (gThermostat_internal) {mqtt="<[mqttbroker:/bo19/sw0250_SetTemperature:state:default]"}
Rollershutter SetTemp_FF_Office "Office [%.1f °C]" <temperature> (FF_Office, gThermostat) ["TargetTemperature"] {mqtt="<[mqttbroker:/bo19/sw0250_SetTemperature:state:default]", autoupdate="false"} //autoupdate="false": to avoid displaying 0 and 100
Since Rollershutter states are 0 and 100 (UP and DOWN), I disabled the item ‘autoupdate’ and created another item that is only used in a rule to mimic the Setpoint functionality in Sitemap.
var Number MaxTemperature = 30
var Number MinTemperature = 10
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
rule "SetTemp_FF_Office Command Rule"
when
Item SetTemp_FF_Office received command
then
var Number CurrentTemp
var Number NewTemp
//logInfo("receivedCommand", receivedCommand.toString )
CurrentTemp = SetTemp_FF_Office_internal.state
//logInfo("CurrentTemp", CurrentTemp.toString )
if (receivedCommand.toString == "UP" ) {
NewTemp = CurrentTemp + 0.5
if (NewTemp > MaxTemperature) {
NewTemp = MaxTemperature
}
//logInfo("NewTemp", NewTemp.toString )
publish("mqttbroker", "/bo19/sw0250_RemoteSetTemperature", NewTemp.toString) // sends MQTT command (MQTT Actions add-ons should be installed)
}
if (receivedCommand.toString == "DOWN" ) {
NewTemp = CurrentTemp - 0.5
if (NewTemp < MinTemperature) {
NewTemp = MinTemperature
}
//logInfo("NewTemp", NewTemp.toString )
publish("mqttbroker", "/bo19/sw0250_RemoteSetTemperature", NewTemp.toString) // sends MQTT command
}
end
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
rule "SetTemp_FF_Office Status Rule" //Update the topic 'RemoteSetTemperature' with the latest set temp
when
Item SetTemp_FF_Office received update
then
var Number CurrentTemp
CurrentTemp = SetTemp_FF_Office.state
//logInfo("CurrentTemp", CurrentTemp.toString )
publish("mqttbroker", "/bo19/sw0250_RemoteSetTemperature", CurrentTemp.toString) // sends MQTT command (MQTT Actions add-ons should be installed)
end
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
Openhab sent its ‘remoteSetTemperature’, then Thermostat mirror it to the actual ‘setTemperature’ value
