OH3 advanced charts

I am on openHAB version: 3.2.0~S2468-1 and try to use some advanced styling in my charts in Main UI. As the charts in openHAB are based on the ECharts I looked into the corresponding cheat sheet and would like to try out many cool features from there, but the official OH docs about charts do not really help me.

Currently I try to have a line series with a green color if the value is above 0 and red at or below zero which is quite close to the echarts example but I don’t catch how to translate the sample code there into the JAML code equivalent. On ECharts I can simplify the example to

$.get(ROOT_PATH + '/data/asset/data/aqi-beijing.json', function (data) {
    myChart.setOption(option = {
        xAxis: {
            data: data.map(function (item) {
                return item[0];
            })
        },
        yAxis: {},
        visualMap: {
            top: 50,
            right: 10,
            pieces: [{
                gt: 0,
                lt: 200,
                color: '#FD0100'
            }, {
                gt: 200,
                color: '#93CE07'
            }],
            outOfRange: {
                color: '#999'
            }
        },
        series: {
            name: 'Beijing AQI',
            type: 'line',
            data: data.map(function (item) {
                return item[1];
            }),
        }
    });
});

which yields

my oh config looks as follows:

config:
  label: GreenRock Chart
  period: D
slots:
  grid:
    - component: oh-chart-grid
      config: {}
  xAxis:
    - component: oh-time-axis
      config:
        gridIndex: 0
  yAxis:
    - component: oh-value-axis
      config:
        gridIndex: 0
    - component: oh-value-axis
      config:
        gridIndex: 0
        name: Leistung
  visualMap:
    - component: oh-chart-visualmap
      config:
        pieces: 2
        type: piecewise
      slots:
        default:
          - component: oh-chart-visualmap
            config:
              gt: 0
              color: "#FD0100"
          - component: oh-chart-visualmap
            config:
              lte: 0
              color: "#93CE07"
  series:
    - component: oh-time-series
      config:
        name: Leistung
        gridIndex: 0
        xAxisIndex: 0
        type: line
        item: Greenrock_BAT_Power
        yAxisIndex: 1
    - component: oh-time-series
      config:
        name: Ladezustand
        gridIndex: 0
        xAxisIndex: 0
        yAxisIndex: 0
        type: line
        item: Greenrock_BAT_Level

which yields:


So not completely wrong but

  • the color code is using 5 pieces not 2
  • the colors are not what I want them to be
  • all series are using the same color code

Any idea is welcome and in general I search for some explanation or the rules of how to translate the code from ECharts page into the corresponding OH YAML or a “complete documentation” of the chart capabilities in openHAB.

Taking the eCharts page into account ist should be possible to cerate Barcharts and all the other charts as well. uuuuiiiiiii

Coming closer, thanks:

        type: line
        xAxisIndex: 0
        yAxisIndex: 0
        color: 'Blue'
    - component: oh-time-series
      config:
        gridIndex: 0
        item: Greenrock_BAT_Power
        name: Leistung
        type: line
        xAxisIndex: 0
        yAxisIndex: 1
  visualMap:
    - component: oh-chart-visualmap
      config:
        pieces: [
            {min: 1, color: '#76b729'},
            {max: 0, color: '#aa1800'}
        ]
        type: piecewise

But the visual map is still applied to all data series, any idea how to change that? I’d like to have a constant color (which is correct in the legend BTW) for some series.

And last but not least, please tell me how you found that…

Try it like this

  series:
    - component: oh-time-series
      config:
        id: 0
        gridIndex: 0
        item: Greenrock_BAT_Level
        name: Ladezustand
        type: line
        xAxisIndex: 0
        yAxisIndex: 0
        color: 'Blue'
    - component: oh-time-series
      config:
        id: 1
        gridIndex: 0
        item: Greenrock_BAT_Power
        name: Leistung
        type: line
        xAxisIndex: 0
        yAxisIndex: 1
  visualMap:
    - component: oh-chart-visualmap
      config:
        pieces: [
            {min: 1, color: '#76b729'},
            {max: 0, color: '#aa1800'}
        ]
         seriesIndex: 0
        type: piecewise

You need to assign an id to the series and add it to visualMap: seriesIndex: id

Yes, that did the trick - together with the fact that arrays in the echarts docs convert to

xxx:
  - one
  - two

Thanks a lot!

Yes, whoever in the openHAB team came up with the idea to integrate ECharts: I definitely owe him/her a beer! This is simply fantastic!

Has this capability markedly increased in OH v3.2 vs. 3.1?

hello, is there a way to specify the Charts of the “actionAnalyzer” to? I am looking for a way to customize ,for example the x-min-value and the color, at the “configure Widget” menu.

like this way:

config:
                          action: analyze
                          actionAnalyzerItems: =[props.RoomTemperature,props.HeatSetpoint]
                          "actionAnalyzerColor: =...."

thanks for help
