Add-ons Bindings

Hello,
I am trying to convert within the http-Binding a html string via RegEx to a value.
There for I created an item with standard profile

If I change the profile to REGEX with the entry

\/TL300E01B01.*?[>](\d*.\d*)

I would expect to get just the value of “8.955227” but the result is nothing

What do I misunderstand?

Here the result

In OH the REGEX must match the full document. The first matching group is what gets returned. Your expression only matches a part of one line of the document. It might be as easy as adding .* to the beginning and end of your expression.

Hey, this was pretty easy. Now it works.

The only open point is the formatting with ‘%.1f’ which is not working.

I configured likt that

In the Log Viewer I get

' with function '.*\/TL300E01B01.*?[>](\d*.\d*).*' and format '%.1f'

with default it works, but I have then all that digits I do not really need.

Reread the docs below the State Format field.

How to format the state of the channel before transforming it…

It makes no sense to try to use %.0f on an HTML document. You don’t have just a number until after the Regular Expression transform.

You need to apply that format on the Item using the State Description metadata. Put the %.0f into the Pattern field.

Thank you,

that was a good advice.

In the metadata it works now.

Thank you again
