Dear all, two questions on modeling in the new UI? First, I am confused by the model semantics in the OH3 tutorial: I have several devices (“equipment”) that are distributed over some rooms. Intuitively, I created rooms as “locations”, but that did not work. After reading the docs, I learned that…

That’s exactly it. Thanks! Now say you have heatings in all rooms as part of the room groups. Now you want to put the set points of all heatings in the house also in a common group to adjust them at once. How would that work in parallel to the rooms topology?

Ok then i will give some more information on how i have configured the model and semantic tags for them. About the heating: Sorry i have to pass here. My flat doesn’t give me the ability for a proper heating automation so i have left this part out of my own environment completely for now. I could…

Awesome, thanks. Maybe that could support the official docs that @rlkoshak is developing with so much effort.

I should add that composed equipment such as color or dimmer lights still remain a bit unclear to me: The group functions e.g. of a dimmer only allow things like average, max or min, but I would like to have something like a “master dimmer” in the equipment group that rules them all :wink: Same hol…

@Tobi77 : I realize I am a bit late to the party so to speak, but have you read this: [image] Getting Started with OH3: rewriting the tutorial - 6. Model your home with Items & link Channels Documentation This Wiki topic’s goal is to serve as a working documen…

Hey @KjetilA thanks for joining the party. :slight_smile: As far as i know @rlkoshak took this thread as blueprint for the docs article he contributed to the tutorial over there. So i would be interested if there are bigger changes we have to transfer to the docs additionally.

To be honest, I have a hard time understanding what thread/wiki/doc that is the “correct” one and being actively worked on… There seems to be so many things going on, :slight_smile:

The wiki articles are meant as a strirting point where everyone can help iomproving those. The long term goal is to move these wikis completely to the documentation so that they are available for everyone on our website. :slight_smile:

Right, thanks for clearing that up. As I understand it the wiki article in question (the one I linked to) has already been moved to documentation. I presume this means that suggestions should then no longer be made on the wiki article, but rather on the documentation in github. Correct?

@Tobi77 : I realize I am a bit late to the party so to speak, but have you read this:

I think it does a good job of explaining the way locations, equipment, points, etc. are handled in terms of groups, items, tags, etc.
