Hey guys,
I am grabbing my solarplant values from openDTU API.
That is working and looking fine.
BUT! I got no idea why the values/state is not shown in the basic ui (iOS App…)
Screens:
Doenst work cause I am a new user 
Anybody any idea? I got this already running by using grabbing data via mqtt. But i thought API will be smarter and total-values are only to be grabbed by api. So i switched to api…
THANKS
Post the Item configuration and the sitemap entry showing the Item.

Especially in YAML, the spacing matters.
You’ve told it to not show the Item’s state.
From the sitemap docs:
labelsets the textual description displayed next to the preprocessed Item data (e.g. “Now [%s °C]”), more details.
Many many thanks!
Now it is working.
Okay thats is making now sense. But I am still wondering why all my other items did need the label to show me some values inside the iOS app
Group icon="sun_clouds" item=openDTU label="openDTU" {
Default icon="time" item=openDTUapi_StatusUptime label="Uptime [%s]"
Default icon="temperature" item=openDTUapi_BalkonTemperature label="Balkon-Temperatur [%.1f °C]"
Default icon="solarplant" item=openDTUapi_BalkonPower label="Balkon-Power [%.2f W]"
Default icon="batterylevel" item=openDTUapi_BalkonYieldDay label="Balkon-Heute [%.2f Wh]"
Default icon="calendar" item=openDTUapi_BalkonYieldTotal label="Balkon-Gesamt [%.2f kWh]"
Default icon="temperature" item=openDTUapi_Garage1Temperature label="Garage1-Temperatur [%.1f °C]"
Default icon="solarplant" item=openDTUapi_Garage1Power label="Garage1-Power [%.2f W]"
Default icon="batterylevel" item=openDTUapi_Garage1YieldDay label="Garage1-Heute [%.2f Wh]"
Default icon="calendar" item=openDTUapi_Garage1YieldTotal label="Garage1-Gesamt [%.2f kWh]"
}
The [] part of the label tells it to and how to show the Item’s state. This can be defined on the Item or on the sitemap. When defined both places, the sitemap label takes precedence. When only defined on the Item, that Item label gets used.
