I use Openhab 2.4 on a Raspi 3+. I tried to set a color with valuecolor in the sitemap at a string item depending on the value. It works when I use numbers (e.g. 0:00:00) but not for running/standby.
Does anyone have an idea or definition of a string item where this works?
Thanks in advance.
So “standby” and “running” coming from item? When you do a text item is this what displayed? I’ll play with my own binding later tonight, it does return similar thing, I’ll let you know.
What you are interested in is the state of the Item, which is not visible in its definition.
Something like an events.log entry showing the Item change would be useful there.
