[SOLVED] OFFSET Profile: Can offset <value> be a variable?

[ohb1138 (Justus Reich)]

Hello,

I was wondering if I could specify a variable for the offset value instead of a fixed value to be able to adjust the offset value at runtime?

Like replacing <value> which could be e.g. "2 °C" with a variable adjust_calibration_value.state and setting this variable for example:

adjust_calibration_value.postUpdate("4.5 °C")

Offset Profilet with value:

Number <itemName> { channel="<bindingID>:<thing-typeID>:<thingName>:<channelName>"[profile="offset", offset="<value>"]}

Offset Profile with variable:

Number <itemName> { channel="<bindingID>:<thing-typeID>:<thingName>:<channelName>"[profile="offset", offset=adjust_calibration_value.state]}

Thanks for clarifying!

Cheers
Justus

I don’t think this is possible, maybe in the future.
This is easily achievable with a rule, though

@vzorglub

Yes but with the new syntax for an item with Number:Temperature and [%.1f %unit% :

Number:Temperature ZwaveDvTemp  "Temperatur DB [%.1f %unit%]"        (gZwave)  {channel="zwave:device:564c8ec1:node6:sensor_temperature"}

I get this error for my calibration rule:

12:03:15.702 [ERROR] [untime.internal.engine.RuleEngineImpl] - Rule 'Calibration of Devolo Temperature': Could not cast 23.8777777777777777777777777777778 °C to org.eclipse.smarthome.core.library.types.DecimalType; line 24, column 34, length 32

Here is the rule:

rule "Calibration of Devolo Temperature"
  when
    Item ZwaveDvTemp changed or
    Item DvTempCalibWert changed
  then
    ZwaveDvTempCorr.postUpdate( (ZwaveDvTemp.state as DecimalType) + (DvTempCalibWert.state as DecimalType) )
end

I changed it from DecimalType to QuantityType but I don’t know if this is correct:

rule "Calibration of Devolo Temperature"
  when
    Item ZwaveDvTemp changed or
    Item DvTempCalibWert changed
  then
    ZwaveDvTempCorr.postUpdate( (ZwaveDvTemp.state as QuantityType) + (DvTempCalibWert.state as QuantityType) )
end

[vzorglub (Vincent Regaud)]

rule "Calibration of Devolo Temperature"
  when
    Item ZwaveDvTemp changed or
    Item DvTempCalibWert changed
  then
    ZwaveDvTempCorr.postUpdate((ZwaveDvTemp.state as QuantityType<Number>).doubleValue + (DvTempCalibWert.state as QuantityType<Number>).doubleValue)
end

Thanks Vincent,

I really appreciate your quick and great response!!!

But this is rocket science to me

I changed it and will give feedback if it works!!! But it looks good so far!!!

Awesome, mate!!!

Thanks
Justus

Would it make sense to address this as a future feature request?
And where should I write down this request to be considered?

this post was chinesee to me i use node red for any value that is not coming up good in OH (the noob workaround)

for missing core fetures i think you can commit here

Roadmap to Happiness - What is missing in the core framework

Hello Community, I was wondering what is bugging you most because it is missing in the core of openHAB (and Eclipse Smarthome) and what only works with a ton of workarounds and should be part of the core instead. Especially if you compare openHAB to competitors. Of course I’m talking about the OH 2.4 Snapshot release or Eclipse Smarthome latest git with the new rule engine and the new zwave security implementation. In a second step I like to open up a new GitHub Issue for each of those topics…

Thanks for this link … will submit this idea later … family weekend first

Actually, it would be better to post in the new Development / Core category for something like this I think. Or open a new feature request. Unfortunately, I don’t know the correct repo to post to at this time. Perhaps the openhab2-addons repo.

Thanks for your reply … I will have a closer look and be careful to find out the right source to raise this request
