I am getting an error in the logs, but can not find the cause. I’m sure it is from one of my rollershutters (SONOFF DualR2). As far as I can see, the bindings, things, and items are no different for the suspect shutter when compared to the 10 other shutters. I’ve checked and rechecked the config …

[image] tacticaljack: type ‘OnOffValue’ That suggests this is coming from a switch or contact type channel. That may have been defined via PaperUI/MainUI in the past, and not visible in xxx.things files.

rikoshak – thanks for the direction to look for the error. yes, the rollershutter switch is what gets placed in sitemap. of the 14 rollershutters, only 1 is acting up. still not sure why the position value is not behaving the same as the other 13 shutters. i’ll keep looking for that and the sou…

[image] tacticaljack: Am I correct that this might be where the error is being triggered? I couldn’t say. OH doesn’t make a distinction between JSONDB defined Things and .things file defined Things. You’ll have to look at all your Switch Channels (no matter where they are defined) and see whi…

I’ve been researching for several days, ice/snow storms and all…lots of time available. Only then did I decide to enter a question. Thanks for the link, been there, lots of good stuff. And, I found so much that for all I know, I read and forgot the answer to my question.

Here are configs… Shutter “thing”. I suspect this is the shutter with the errors. Thing mqtt:topic:eab2edb0:RS_LRw_Window "RS_LRw_Window" (mqtt:broker:eab2edb0) @ "Living Room" { Channels: Type rollershutter : rschannel "Shutter" [ commandTopic="cmnd/RS_LRw_Window/shutterpositi…

Why didn’t code fence make those configs horizontally scrollable??

As far as I can tell you didn’t use code fences. ``` code goes here ``` You used inline code markings Some text `code` some more text.

[image] tacticaljack: Type switch: position "Shutter Position" [ stateTopic="tele/RS_LRw_Window/SENSOR", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.Shutter1.Position" ] That looks pretty suspicious. Whatever “Position” is, you are trying to stuff it into a switch type channel expecting ON or OFF.

OK, I see that, yet I’m doing the same thing on all of the other shutters without throwing errors. Let me move one of them to a non-zero position and see if that generates a similar error. Let me explain why I did that. On a UI page with several shutters, I would find one of them where the positi…

Just to make it clear, in case the detail is missed.

This error is coming from a Generic MQTT Thing Switch type Channel. The message received on the topic is a number instead of something that the Channel can transform/convert to an ON/OFF or OPEN/CLOSED.
