I’m sure it has to use the template widget…but how could I make a selection widget? (Press the button, see a menu of choices, make the choice, send the command w/ the choice) Any pointers, starting points or code I can look at? Thanks!

There is an example in post #12 of the “Template Widget” thread in this section of the forum.

If the sitemap support pull request ends up merged, it’ll probably include a standard selection widget for compatibility with the sitemaps anyway. In the meantime, the post mentioned by @MikeD is a good start!

I was looking for something similar I created this widget, which renders the possible option values as buttons options-switch.widget.json (722 Bytes) so the different buttons com from the OH item definition and don’t need to be maintained manually example [image]

@marcel_verpaalen this is great! Looking forward to test it. Would you like to create a separate thread with “Custom Widget - Selection” and widget tag so it’s easier to find for others? Also linked your solution in this issue Cheers

@marcel_verpaalen While you’re at it, could you also include an example of how to define the item in order to make this work? Thanks!

@mhilbush It is not something you do as user, rather it is set by the developer of the binding. I’m not sure if it is possible to define this in the item definition itself. (I have not seen that before) In the binding you define it as below as part of the definitions in ESH-INF <channel-type id…

Ah, I see now. That’s why I was confused. :confused: In my post above, I was looking for something functionally equivalent to the Selection widget in the sitemap, but that’s not what this widget does.

What I made would be the equivalent of a Switch with with multiple values in the sitemap. http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/sitemaps.html#element-type-switch With the difference that the options would come from the channel/item definition. Same ‘trick’ would be possible as dropdown I think (s…

Yes, I think that will do it. Thanks!
