Add-ons Bindings

Hi.
I am using the free@home binding to include my blinds.
Now i want to send the position (percentage value) from Openhab to Loxone.
The item within openhab shows the actual value, but the item within Loxone does not update it´s value.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks

So you have two bindings on one item wohnzieemr_prozent
I think there may be a conflict here and you may need a rule
I am going to work now so I’ll have a look tonight
In the mean time link the two channels to two different items and try this:

rule "rollershutter"
when item1 changed
then
    item2.sendCommand(item1.state)
end

item1 is the free@home
item2 is the loxone

i tried like you said.
now i have a item linked to free@home (wohnzimmer_prozent)
and one item linked to loxone (wohnzimmer_prozent_loxone).
if i now change the value by hand for wohnzimmer_prozent_loxone within the gui of openhab, the value changes within the loxone gui.
this is great.
but the rule is not working.
i created the rule “rollo.rules” within the folder /etc/openhab/rules
the code looks like this:

rule "rollo"
when 
    wohnzimmer_prozent changed
then
    wohnzimmer_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(wohnzimmer_prozent.state)
end

this did not work and gave me an error within the openhab log.
it says:

rollo.rules has errors, therefore ignoring it: [3,5]: no viable alternative at input 'wohnzimmer_prozent'

i just found the problem myself.
the code has to look like this:

rule "rollo"
when 
    Item wohnzimmer_prozent changed
then
    wohnzimmer_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(wohnzimmer_prozent.state)
end

one nore question:
i would like to do this for more blinds.
do i have to make a rule file for every blind or can i do like this?

rule "rollo"
when 
    Item wohnzimmer_prozent changed
then
    wohnzimmer_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(wohnzimmer_prozent.state)

when 
    Item test_prozent changed
then
    test_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(test_prozent.state)

when 
    Item nextroom_prozent changed
then
    nextromm_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(nextromm_prozent.state)
end

You will need to place an “end” to the end of each rule.

Like:

rule "rollo"
when 
    Item wohnzimmer_prozent changed
then
    wohnzimmer_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(wohnzimmer_prozent.state)
end

rule "whatever"
when 
    Item test_prozent changed
then
    test_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(test_prozent.state)
end

rule "whatever"
when 
    Item nextroom_prozent changed
then
    nextromm_prozent_loxone.sendCommand(nextromm_prozent.state)
end

If you have lots of pairs/sets of Items with related names, this is a useful technique

First out the free@home items in a group gFreeAtHome or whatever name
Then:

rule "rollershutters"
when
    Member of gFreeAtHome changed
then
    val itemName = triggeringItem.name.toString + "_loxone"
    sendCommand(itemName, triggeringItem.state.toString)
end
