@NicGray

Not sure if you have changed something but I do set my units in my items file…

Number:Length Ecowitt_Rain_Today "Rain Today [%.1f mm]" (gPersist4) { channel = "ipobserver:weatherstation:e1803acdd2:rainToday" }

ooohhh. i missed your response o_O
i have configured all the items via mainUI (as i didn’t know how to do it correcty via config files. is there a wiki?)

@matt1

You can get it to display in any unit you wish via metadata in the UI or in textual files as @NicGray posted an example (thanks).

i’m not using most of the “new” openHAB3 stuff and haven’t really used metadata until now so i’m not sure how i should use metadata.

@matt1

Check if you have openHAB set to SETTINGS>REGIONAL SETTINGS> tick SHOW ADVANCED and check the box for metric.

okay, checked metric now. (“m” = meters should be metric already)?

@matt1

Also go into the settings for the ipobserver and set it to also show metric…

it’s metric already (although i cant find any settings on the device to change anything…):

@matt1

If you are using the PUSH method of the binding by giving an id and password then the data always comes into the binding via imperial values, if you are using the SCRAPING method then its possible your settings page is not getting scraped correctly when the binding first starts.

i have set id and password, so i guess i use the PUSH method?

i’m still on openHAB 3.1 and have manually installed org.openhab.binding.ipobserver-3.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, should i remove the binding before upgrading openHAB and then install via openHAB UI?
