Send/update meter reading to Loxone App

I don’t know how to cause the rule to pass an unformatted value as DecimalType.

Oh, is that the issue, the source Item is a Quantity type?

someItem.sendCommand((otherItem.state as Number).toBigDecimal)

Hi! thanks for these answers. Sorry for not answering earlier but got a busy week.

@Joe_Vray the problem with sending updates to Loxone seems to be that the command that the binding receives is a formatted value represented as a string: 1234 kWh. This is ignored by the binding, since it expects a numerical value. I don’t know how to cause the rule to pass an unformatted value as DecimalType. The problem however seems to be in the type of command passed from the rule to the item and then to the channel.

Indeed, got it to work now. Problem was indeed related to format. To get it working, I had to change the type from the items to “Number” only (eg. type “Number:Energy” would not work). Also, changing only the number of the item linked to the Loxone item would not work, but I had to change also the type from the DSMR binding item. Thanks for helping sorting this out!

Did not get this to work…

The interrupted sleep messages are caused by state updates for controls which are not supported by the binding. You may look up your http://miniserver/data/LoxAPP3.json file to find out what type of controls have UUIDs:

Maybe we can add that support if that is something useful.

Thanks. ClimateController and HourCounter are currently not supported, so those state updates are not processed but they cause the message loop to parse them.
Do you need any of these functions to be supported by OH?

No need for climate controller or hour counter from my side. But if at some point you find the time to look into the other issue that I logged, I would very much appreciate. Nothing urgent though…
