Correct, but we were referring to the binding!
Yes, thats true, but the binding uses from my point of view the second option (up to 10). It is written in the documentation that a second webservice is required if more than 10 stations should be queried. Possible modification for the binding are:
1.) Use the single station api and wait between two stations a to be defined amount of time. Drops the 10 station limit, but increases the server load
2.) Use the multi station api and wait between the item update a to be dfined amount of time. Thatās implementation work and the 10 station limit is still there
3.) Create a new channel that triggers if all items are updated after data is polled. Again implementation work and this did not overcome the 10 station limit.
So from my point of view my current solution is suitable for me and i overcomes the 10 station limit.
Exactly the binding does use this second option and the limit is set to 10 stations (as agreed with tankerkoenig). My posted solution (using a webservice for each station) was showing a possible way with the current binding, not the suggested way! Yes that way the api-call for several stations would be used for a single one.
Iād rather not change the binding for this one and if Iād change I suggest the the binding would raise an event after each time the prices (plural) got polled,.
However thatās all talks about what you do not need, since you got a good solution (I think).
Your are absolutly right. The solution is working and i am happy.

Hello,
being new I try to adapt your work to learn something, but have a really hard time as the MAPs are missing - namely
- switch.map
- contact.map
- i18n_gasstation.map
- i18n_contact.map.
Would you please be so kind to publish them here for completeness?
Thank you very much!
switch.map and contact.map simply translate the ON/OFF OPEN/Close to their german representations
gaststation.map translates the itemnanames to the station name to set the label
OL_IN_FuelStation01=Tanklager Baack (Kiebitzreiher Chaussee, 25358 Horst)
...
could you just upload the files here, this would make it easy
Seconded! Also the given map explanation of @Dibbler42 doesnāt relate to the rest of the scripts. The item name OL_IN_ā¦ has been never seen before. iām even more confusedā¦
The point is that i have changed my rules over the last six month and the names of items and files has changed.
The corresponding name to OL_IN_FuelStation01 should be iSL_IN_GasStation01 and so on.
Unfortunately it is now allowed to upload map files. If you could describe your problem a little bit more, i am sure that we could solve the problem
could you upload the complete set of files to a repo? That makes it easy to avoid inconsistencies.
Guys at the moment i have not the time to setup a repo with all required tasks.
Just describe your problem and other may help as well
Please correct me, but you didnāt posted those files
- switch.map
- contact.map
- i18n_gasstation.map
- i18n_contact.map.
So, Iām not able to get it running using the above code sniplets.
You are right i didnāt post there files, but i gave the information what is in the files. From my point of view you need to adapt these files for your system. In addition the code is understandable and it should be no problem to modify things to your needs.
If you are not able to get these snippets running you should describe the concrete problem and the community will assist, but i think you could/should not expect an out of the shelf solution.
Just an example:
I do not understand this line. Could someone help? i Understand that this is a logline, bute the transformation statement ist not clear to me
logInfo(ruleIdentifier, "Gas station prices have changed. Trigger is {}.", transform("MAP", "i18n_gasstation.map", triggeringItem.name.substring(1, triggeringItem.name.lastIndexOf('_'))))
The answer would likely be.
To understand transformations just use the documentation. But in short the transformation consist of thre parts.
Part1: Type of transformation -> Here a map tranformation
Part2: Map to use -> Here the file i18n_gasstation.map
Part3: The value to transform -> OK thats a little bit tricky
TriggerinItem is a predefined variable in alle rule that contains the item that triggered the rule. Let it be āiSL_IN_GasStation01_Dieselā.
triggeringItem.name.substring(1, triggeringItem.name.lastIndexOf('_'))
The above code creates a substring from the item nae starting from the first character up to the last underscore. This leads to iSL_IN_GasStation01. So the map file should map iSL_IN_GasStation01 to something more readable like āMeine Essotankstelle um die Eckeā

Hi
thanks for sharing this part. I got it running, the station name also gets updates in sitemap, the prices are picked up an get sorted. My last issue is this line:
I believe, the gasPrice.previousState(true) needs to be persistand, am I right? Right now, the rule fails to continue on this stage, since there is no previous state avalable.
However, I installed influxDB and persited the previousPrice, but the rule still fails.
Maybe you can give me a hint on this?
Thanks for your effort
Marcus
You are right the gas prices need to be persited. The used statement rely on the default persistence Service defined inthe system setting. If this is not set to influx it will noct work. Another solution is to add the influx in the previousState statement (Just check the documentation on this)
In my system the indicator is currently not active. I just changed the correspondig if clause.

ok, managed it, it has to be
previousPrice = if (previousPrice == null) previousPrice = actualPrice else (gasPrice.previousState(true, "influxdb") as DecimalType)

Thank you @Dibbler42 @alkaline
I also got it to work.
One last question remains - I have currently one gas station which is closed and therefore retuns no gas prices, but āUNDEFā instead.
According to the rules this shouldnāt be a problem because of this boolean expression:
logInfo(ruleIdentifier, "Gas station price sorting has been triggered.")
gGasStationPrices.members.filter[ price | (price != UNDEF) && (price != NULL) ].sortBy[ state as DecimalType ].forEach[ gasPrice, index |
Hereās the current array of gGasStationPrices:
Item gGasStationPrices | NULL
Members:
Item iSL_IN_GasStation01_Diesel | UNDEF
Item iSL_IN_GasStation02_Diesel | 1.239
Item iSL_IN_GasStation03_Diesel | 1.219
Item iSL_IN_GasStation04_Diesel | 1.269
Item iSL_IN_GasStation05_Diesel | 1.209
Item iSL_IN_GasStation06_Diesel | 1.209
Strangely the rule processing breaks with the following message logged and I donāt know why.
[INFO ] [gasstationrule.GasStationPriceSorter] - Gas station price sorting has been triggered.
[ERROR] [ntime.internal.engine.RuleEngineImpl] - Rule 'Gas Station Price Sorter': Could not cast UNDEF to org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.types.DecimalType; line 62, column 93, length 20
Any help would be appreciated.
Once in a while I do have similar messages, but it wonāt break the rule. If I take a look at your posting the prices are still available, correct? My log shows this kind of message late in the evening (10 PM)
As soon as the gasstation will open the rule will work.
Currently i have no time to look into this, but it should be easy to check the open/Closed switches of the gasstations and create some if clause
