Set state Dynamic Icons

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps

Hello there,

I got a question; i 'd like to place an Icon of an open/closed door.

my sitemap file:
Frame label=“Beveiliging”{
Switch item=VoorDeur label=“Voordeur”
Switch item=BijkeukenGarage label=“Bijkeuken > Garagedeur”
}

my items file:
Switch VoorDeur “frontdoor [%s]” {mqtt="<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:state:*:default],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:command:state:OPEN:1],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:command:state:CLOSED:0]"}

Switch BijkeukenGarage “door [%s]” {mqtt="<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage:state:OPEN],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage:state:CLOSED]"}

I have an arduino subscriped on the topic and they are connected. (temp measured with arduino is published good on openhab…)

client.publish("/beveiliging/voordeur", "CLOSED");
client.publish("/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage", "door-open");

i see the icons, but they do not react.
I’ve tried al lot, what am i doing wrong?
Hope somebody can help me.

A switch is for state ON/OFF, for OPEN/CLOSED use contact.

Define label="…[%s]" or leave label at sitemap and use the item-label.

every 3 seconds publish from arduino:

    if(keerom==false){
      client.publish("/beveiliging/voordeur", ":state:OPEN");
      client.publish("/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage", "OPEN");
      keerom=true;
    } else {
      client.publish("/beveiliging/voordeur", ":state:CLOSED");
      client.publish("/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage", "CLOSED");
      keerom=false;
    }

demo.sitemap:

	Frame label="Beveiliging"{
		Text item=VoorDeur label="Voordeur" 
		Text item=BijkeukenGarage label="Bijkeuken > Garagedeur" 
          }

demo.items:

Contact VoorDeur "frontdoor [%s]" <frontdoor> {mqtt="<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:state:OPEN],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:state:CLOSED]"}
Contact BijkeukenGarage "door [%s]" <door> {mqtt="<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage:state:OPEN],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage:state:CLOSED]"}

Now the doors icons are closed but not changing :frowning:

your code goes here

Solved!!! Happy!!!

Arduino code:

    if(keerom==false){
      client.publish("/beveiliging/voordeur", "OPEN");
      client.publish("/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage", "OPEN");
    client.publish("/klimaat/tempout", "28.5");
      keerom=true;
    } else {
      client.publish("/beveiliging/voordeur", "CLOSED");
      client.publish("/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage", "CLOSED");
      client.publish("/klimaat/tempout", "19.3");
      keerom=false;
    }

demo.sitemap:

	Frame label="Beveiliging"{
		Text item=VoorDeur label="Voordeur [%s]" icon="frontdoor"
		Text item=BijkeukenGarage label="Bijkeuken > Garagedeur" icon="door"
       }

demo.items:

Contact VoorDeur "state [%s]" {mqtt="<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:state:CLOSED:CLOSED],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/voordeur:state:OPEN:OPEN]"}
Contact BijkeukenGarage "state [%s]" {mqtt="<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage:state:OPEN:OPEN],<[mosquitto:/beveiliging/bijkeukengarage:state:CLOSED:CLOSED]"}
