Hi Marcel
You are right.
Problem is fixed. It is working now.

What an amazing setup Andy, a great inspiration.
I was looking at your rule and I don’t think that it currently works as you intended. In both if statements the requiredPosition = 100 and requiredPosition = 0 should be changed to requiredPosition == 100 and requiredPosition == 0 respectively. Currently you are assigning (=) the value to requiredPosition whereas I think you want to compare (==) requiredPosition with the value.

Hi Marcel!
Thanks so much. You are absolutely correct - it was work in progress - and I’m just about to complete the final testing on the latest version and I will report it.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

Hi Andy,
Is this an Openhab default setting that you can select between Equipment and Properties in the location-card you posted? If not, I would be grateful if you could post the corresponding yaml-code - unfortunately I could not find anything in the forum so far.
With my Openhab, the Points of a piece of an Equipment are displayed directly in the list of the respective location-card in the location cards generated automatically by Openhab. With many lamps, for example, this can become very confusing due to the large number of list entries. I would therefore like to display only the Equipment in the list of the location-card, which then lists its points in its list view or directly accesses the point elements in a separate view. I have the impression that this is the case with your solution, isn’t it?
Hi Benny,
Just back at my desk. Give me an hour and I’ll reply properly.
Best Andy
Hi Benny,
Sorry that this took a little longer; time in Thailand goes slower than the rest of the world 
I have posted examples below of how I easily got this look and feel; but I think it’s also important to point out why I did it this way. It is clear to me from your question that you understand all the principles very well so I thought I would give both a short and long answer in case that also helps others 
So the easy and simple answer for you is – the way in which the Light items (Point_Control) belonging to a piece of Equipment (Equipment_Lightbulb) are displayed by default is specified via Metadata / using the Metadata option at the Equipment level.
If nothing is specified, which is the default, then effectively you end up with a simple list of lights.
So from the Model, select the Equipment like:
The Snug Room (location) has Snug Lights (the Equipment)
If you click on Add Metadata, you get these options:
And then to achieve your goal of showing a Single / Summary / Group line on a list of Equipment items – you want to select the Default List Item Widget
Which then gives you this configuration page:
The Long answer is I wanted the best of all worlds.
In the example below, like your multiple Lamp requirement, I didn’t want the Room (Location Card) to show every single Point in ‘list fashion’ but to show the Equipment in summary form , HOWEVER I did want to take advantage of the built-in at-a-glance modules - there is an excellent write up on these here - these are the fabulous icons automatically generated on the Location card indicating Windows open, Blinds open, Lights on etc.
Also, in the case of my Sonos devices I wanted to show the device; but once selected I wanted an accordion list providing two sub-options - the first option being the brilliant Sonos Multi Room widget from @buschif4 and the 2nd option being a list of all the Sonos points should a user want to play around with an individual Point/Channel of the Sonos thing.
And then finally I also wanted on the same Equipment tab on the Location Card to also display an individual Point (the Sonos Volume) as I guessed that one of the reasons the users would come here would be to control the volume quickly.
I know – best of all worlds – super greedy of me 
I achieved this by adding an intermediate, ‘dummy’ piece of equipment, in this case a Sonos Speaker within another Speaker Group.
The Default List Item metadata on the holding / dummy equipment speaker is configured like this.
Here is the UI for the metadata.
All I actually changed / added was to specify
- that my 2 option accordion (widget below) would pop up rather than a list of all items
- the state of the holding / dummy group should show the state of the real speaker
And here is the YAML for the default list item widget
value: " "
config:
action: popup
actionModal: widget:widget_sonoslist
actionModalConfig:
item: SonosSnug
zone: Snug
item: SonosSnug_State
So, when you click on the Location (Room) card; it looks like this
When you click on the dummy equipment group, you are then calling the accordion widget below
Again; thank you again @buschif4 for your wonderful Sonos Multi Room widget; which I just slightly adapted
The YAML for the accordion list is:

Hi Andy,
Thanks for taking the time to explain your approach in detail - especially the trick with the dummy group is really great.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year
Thanks a lot for your awesome example, what i still don’t get is how you achieve to have tabs for equipment and properties displayed in the location card:
This is automatic if you have both equipment and points/properties directly below the location.

Thanks, that was the missing link
I don’t think it would do any harm to point out the very nice demo, which can be accessed via the link https://demo.openhab.org.
You can also log in as an admin (User: demo, PW: demo) and take your time to see how some basic things can be realised under OH 3.

Hello Together,
has someone an idea why the BackgroundImage works well on the “Home Pages” but not with the widgets of the “Overview” page.
I think it’s because the components on the homepages are quite different (oh-location-card, oh-equipment-card) than the widget cards. If you hit ctrl+space in the yaml editor, you see what properties the widget supports and oh-knob-cell doesn’t have the background property.
Hi Michael,
I found the background images sized around 500 x 300 worked best. Sometimes the first couple of times the image displayed might appear blurred; and then after the next reboot, or reload of the app (under the About left menu option ) seemed to correct it.
Hope this helps
Andy
That’s awesome stuff!
Thank you for sharing, Andy.
I see you spend a lot of time on it.
Is there any option to call the Location site directly and not open the “Overview” page by default?
Amazing work, very inspiring! I am fighting with OH3 at the moment but that has given me some motivation to carry on. Can you explain how the slot types work. I see header, glance and default as well as names on the line underneath slots:
what does this signify. I can’t find any documentation.
I’m trying to recreate my sitemaps in the main UI because it looks much better. But i’m struggling a bit. In the default tabs location / equipment and properties the cell are nice and big and are capable of background. I want to do the same in the overview tab but i only got small cells which are not capable of background image.
Does anyone know how to create bigger cells, as big as in the locations tab?
I think i’ve been wrong about this. Looking at the code of that example:
It seems that you also cann add background to the widgets in the overview page
That looks like something I meant. But we have to use the F7 cards in stead of cells. Must admit, that miflore page looks great. The cells also do look awesome, specially with an image as background.
With the help of all of you and some good inspirations i achieved a status where i can start “beta” using the new OH3 with my beta testers, my family 
. Thank you everyone for contributing and sharing your knowledge.
The semantic model is really great and gives a lot of structure. the automatically created location sites are very helpful and safes a lot of time.
However what i really find amazing is the opportunity to build pages like you want and the ability to customize almost everything. I believe i am still at the beginning and learning on the fly, but now have a structure in place where i can start developing from. I am fan of consistency, so i tried to be as consistent as possible with the widgets. Here is a glance of my status as of now.
Work in progress:
- build a good structured, not too overloaded overview page
- optimize popup´s / popover ( not happy with the popups being in top left corner, so using popovers for the time being )
- garden / outdoor pages
- “administrator pages” ( energy, consumption…)
- optimize widgets look and feel
- optimize location cards
Not getting boring.
