OpenHAB 2.4 + Tasmota (MQTT + JSON) on RF Bridge and PIR Motion Sensor

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Thank you, now I understand better.

This is my rule that I created, based on the JSONPATH approach. Which shows DETECT in the Basic UI and removes the value after 5 seconds. This JASONPATH syntax example. I got from here.

rule "esp8285 Sensor Processing"
when
    Item esp_8285_PIR_1 received update // Need received update if Data has not change but button still pressed
then
    if (esp_8285_PIR_1.state == "EC4B2E")
    {
        my_Display.postUpdate("DETECT")
        Thread::sleep(5000)
        my_Display.postUpdate("")
    }
end

Which required me to have an additional item to display in the BasicUI

String my_Display                     "[%s]"                  <motion>      (Test_Group)

With your approach, I take it that I don’t need this place holder item, which I called my_Display. I can do everything directly to esp_8285_PIR_1. Thank you for showing me another way of doing it. I have not considered and understood the full context until you spoon fed me. :slightly_smiling_face:

Now it makes sense. Much appreciated.
