What happens when you refresh the page?

The graph-line becomes updated, but no values are shown.

In this example of the Humidity-item the blue graph-line is updated after refresh.

Have you set any metadata on this Item? Default Standalone Widget or State Description in particular?

Does this Item have units?

6

No I din’t. Thank you for your questions which lead me to a track to follow.

With the Example Humidity I set the following metadata:

  • State Discription: %.1f g/m³ read only

  • Default Standalone Widget: action: analyse items.

So far still no values shown. Do I still miss something?

I don’t know. It’s really hard to read screenshots on my phone. This Item is just a Number right, no untis are defined?

I don’t know why the Item would show a state on the Items page but not the specific Item’s page. The only think I can recommend is to verify that the Item does in fact have a valid state (e.g. query for it in the REST API or write a rule to log it out) and if so open an issue on the openhab-webui repo.

I checked on the api-explorer and my item has a valid state (see
attached code). Sorry, but I didn’t understand your note to “open an
issue on the openhab-webui repo.” Where do you want me to post the issue?
