Oh3 Access Thing config from a widget

Hi All

Wondering if there is a way to access a THING via a Widget somehow?

I would like to access the settings of a THING used in the Paradox Binding.

I can see the details via the Rest API as follows:

https://10.163.199.252:8443/rest/things/paradoxalarm%3Aip150%3AParadoxIP150

Which gives:

{
  "channels": [
    {
      "linkedItems": [],
      "uid": "paradoxalarm:ip150:ParadoxIP150:communicationCommand",
      "id": "communicationCommand",
      "channelTypeUID": "paradoxalarm:command",
      "itemType": "String",
      "kind": "STATE",
      "label": "Communicator Command",
      "description": "Send Command",
      "defaultTags": [],
      "properties": {},
      "configuration": {}
    },
    {
      "linkedItems": [
        "ParadoxIP150ModuleConnector_BridgeCommunicationState"
      ],
      "uid": "paradoxalarm:ip150:ParadoxIP150:communicationState",
      "id": "communicationState",
      "channelTypeUID": "paradoxalarm:communicationState",
      "itemType": "String",
      "kind": "STATE",
      "label": "Bridge Communication State",
      "description": "Status of connection to Paradox system",
      "defaultTags": [],
      "properties": {},
      "configuration": {}
    }
  ],
  "statusInfo": {
    "status": "ONLINE",
    "statusDetail": "NONE"
  },
  "editable": true,
  "label": "Paradox IP150 Module Connector",
  "configuration": {
    "pcPassword": "<REDACT>",
    "maxPartitions": 4,
    "port": 10000,
    "encrypt": false,
    "ipAddress": "10.163.199.226",
    "ip150Password": "<REDACT>",
    "maxZones": 24,
    "refresh": 5,
    "reconnectWaitTime": 30,
    "panelType": "EVO192"
  },
  "properties": {},
  "UID": "paradoxalarm:ip150:ParadoxIP150",
  "thingTypeUID": "paradoxalarm:ip150"
}

What I specifically would like to access are the two settings:

"maxPartitions": 4,
"maxZones": 24,

These would make my widget a bit more self contained if they were accessible.

Any advise would as usual be appreciated.

Nope. The only API endpoint that the widgets are going to interact with is the items. As far as I can see, your only real choice here is to populate items with those setting values via a rule or the http binding.

Thanks fir the confirmation. That is what I suspected.

Will see if i can find how to setup a rule to populate an item… though i guess that blows my self contained wish.
