  • Issue of the topic:

I have added a temperature/humidity sensor using zigbee2mqtt. Channels are ok and I can add an item. When checking “analyze” temperature is recorded with decimals; but when showing the item in page, it don’t show decimals; and trending line is not working (I don’t know if it is related I think it happend because numbers are treated without decimals).

Often a binding will try to be helpful and push a State Description to the Item when it’s linked and often for a temperature it pushes %0.f %UNIT% which means a floating point number shown without decimal point and with the unit.

Even when that doesn’t happen, MainUI will often make it’s own attempts at reasonable defaults based on the Item type and semantic tagging.

But this is always overridable. Assuming you are using the UI to create the Item, you can navigate to the Item’s page and click “add metadata” and select “State Description”. You can fill in the pattern following Items | openHAB.

For exanmple, to show one decimal point, you’d use %.1f %UNIT%

Thanks, it worked (and I learned something new).
