Issue of the topic:
For testing and demo purposes I would like to define a “proxy switch”, not bound to anything, which is shown in the Paper UI control panel and can be referenced in my rules files.
I do have a switch working for the rules file, but how can I display it in the control panel?
I could be wrong but I don’t think PaperUI displays proxy items, or at least not in my PaperUI. You can create a site map and use BasicUI to display and control the proxy switch.
PaperUI is for administration purposes.
Anything “userland”, including test stuff, shouldn’t be done there.
So rather create a sitemap and access it in Basic UI (or using any of the other UIs).
Your proxy item will show up even when there’s no channel linked.
The state change via basic UI works. When clicking on the button is see the following in the log file:
Item ‘ManTrigger’ received command ON
ManTrigger changed from NULL to ON
However, the state does not seem to change:
Status of ManTrigger is: NULL
