Semantic Model for Things with Textfile

[mhbosch (Michael Bosch)]

Hello,

i test OH3. By my installation i work with text files. In the Example for the semantiv model i see, a bulb can be a top, an the Brightness etc can be child.
But i dont know, how i can write this in textfiles. The Bulbchannel are not the problem, but by the thing, i dont understand the tagging.

Is this only possible with the GUI?

with regards,

mhbosch

[OH3] Semantic Model setup via tags in configuration Items files

Foreword If you are unsure of what the Semantic Model is, or what it can do for you in openHAB 3, then check the documentation here. This post is my notes on creating a Semantic Model via the configuration files (*.items files), rather than the UI. Background I read this post, and used this list in order to work this all out. General The Semantic Model is made up of Items with extra bits of information tagged on to them. These extra bits of information tell openHAB a little bit more about wha…

Sorry, i dont see, that in the Example with the Thing a Group was created.

Thanks a lot

How define semantic class in the thing file

[mhbosch (Michael Bosch)]

Oh OK,

you cant define it for a Thing. You need a new Group.
At the GUI you can make a new Group from Things. My misunderstoud, i think this a semantic Type of a Thing. But it is only a group.

Follow the first instruction in the first answer. There is a example, how you define it.

With regards,

Michael

How define semantic class in the thing file

To clarify: the Semantic Model is tied to Items (and Group Items) - it has nothing to do with Things, and cannot be configured for a Thing.
