Number formatting

Kimzer · January 31, 2020, 9:12am

Ubuntu 19.10 running openhab.

I have a power meter setup, wich sends the total kwh used in MQTT wich is read and posted on my sitemap. Thing is, the numbers look like this 12227297 KWh and i would really like to format it into something more readable, like 12.23MWh.

I know i can adjust the number of decimals, but formatting this i am completely unsure of how to go about. Did not find much on google to help me out either, so i hope someone here can assist me

Hi

I had a similar situation with an energy monitor.

In the end I created another Item and used a rule to do the math and post the new valve into the new Item.

It works quite well, as now I can show

kWh and Wh in the same UI.

Hi,

do you have the chance to convert before sending to MQTT?

rossko57 · January 31, 2020, 10:25am

To process an Item state value for display, without altering the state itself,use a transform in Item or sitemap label format (the [part]).
A transformation can multiply, round etc. as you wish.

Text item=AMS_Malerstand label=“Målerstand [%.0f KWh]”

This is how my item looks now, wich works. But again i would like to divide the number by 1000 to get Mwh instead. Im not sure i quite understand how to apply a transformation here.

ljsquare · February 1, 2020, 10:29pm

How is your item defined? As a UoM (Unit of Measurement) Energy? Then you can easy convert to Mwh just by using [%.0f MWh] in your sitemap.

rossko57 · February 1, 2020, 10:52pm

This thread is about using transforms in [labels] to modify displayed Item states.

Kimzer · February 3, 2020, 9:18am

Have been reading thru that thread for a while now, and others. And i cant get it to work.
This is where i am at:

Text item=AMS_Malerstand “Målerstand [JS(kwh-to-mwh.js):%.2f]”

JS file:

(function(i) {
return parseFloat(i) / 1000;
})(input)

rossko57 · February 3, 2020, 10:03am

So, what happens, or doesn’t happen? What does openhab.log have to say about it, if anything? Have you installed the JS transformation service? What is your Item type?

Kimzer · February 3, 2020, 10:07am

Get this error, js transformation service is installed yes.
2020-02-03 09:10:40.372 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model ‘default.sitemap’ has errors, therefore ignoring it: [24,27]: extraneous input ‘“Målerstand [JS(kwh-to-mwh.js):%.2f]”’ expecting ‘}’

rossko57 · February 3, 2020, 10:21am

Okay, something wrong with the sitemap, not the transform (yet).

The å makes me think of character encoding, perhaps.
Or maybe the wrong kind of quotemarks, cannot tell without use of code fences in posts.

Kimzer · February 3, 2020, 11:55am

This is how it looks in my sitemap, even changing out the å. Made no difference.
Error message is:

Compare to

Unless that’s a copy-paste error, there’s still a strange character in there

Kimzer · February 3, 2020, 12:25pm

I just tried changing between a few ways of writing it, copy paste error indeed. But what are u referring to when u say strange character? the quotation marks appear that way when i paste it here for some reason, they are " in the sitemap

rossko57 · February 3, 2020, 1:03pm

What I mean is that you showed us an error with Maaalerstand in it and a sitemap line with Malerstand. Obviously,not the same. We can only work on what you tell us when you say “I have this, and get that error”.

Take the whole line out; does your sitemap still have an error?
If not, add it back piece by piece.
If it does, it’s probably a layout problem about { } braces.

Kimzer · February 3, 2020, 1:51pm

Right, that was just a copy paste error on my end. The error message was the same as Malerstand . So that can be ignored.

If i take the whole line out, i have no errors.
With it in i get this:

2020-02-03 13:49:09.255 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model ‘default.sitemap’ has errors, therefore ignoring it: [100,27]: mismatched input ‘“Malerstand [JS(kwh-to-mwh.js):%.2f]”’ expecting ‘}’
[103,1]: extraneous input ‘}’ expecting EOF

I do think you might be right about a layout problem.
Therefore, here is the entire sitemap. I cant spot the error, but maybe you can

If you can’t spot any false character, you might try to completely retype the whole line (retype not copy and paste!) . Such could get rid of any hidden/unseen character.

rossko57 · February 3, 2020, 3:14pm

You forgot the label= part

Kimzer · February 3, 2020, 5:40pm

Correct, i swear sometimes i think i am going blind by looking at this. That was indeed the problem, and thank you for pointing it out.

opus · February 3, 2020, 5:41pm

Me too
