Hi,
Under group overview I have Average room temperature which is collecting all temperature readings and dividing by total qty. I believe this aver room temp was copied from demo house.
Now because I have one sensor which is located outside and also using weather binding my room temperature is naturally lowered. Currently I only have one sensor at home.
Questions is , how to separate indoor and outdoor reading to avoid this situation ? And also where is this average temperature calculated ?
Pasted copies of my current items and sitemap.

Group item=Temperature
Just one more thing if I can add to this subject.
I have divided my house into separate rooms. So for example when I look into Living room tab I will see various items , switches, temperature , humidity etc.
Problem I have , when go to Group tab and look inside Avr room temperature or other like (door for example) I will see multiple items with the same name - Temperature or Door unless I add Living room name to this item. Is there any work around and will I need to name every item starting with location "Living room Door"and so on.
Write the labels one by one in the sitemap… I am afraid but that’s the only way
Well… Almost… You could also change the labels for each items in the item definition but then when you go into the group ‘Living room’ you will see ‘LivingRoom Temp’…
Also listing the sitemaps items one by one may seem a big job instead of using group tags but in the end you have control of the display order and much more flexibility
gPiHole is a group but I display it as a text item with a sub frame {…} in which you put the items of the group
You need to populate the items by hand not like the group item in the sitemap but you have control over the order of the items and the m=way they are displayed individually.
Frame {
Text item=gPiHole label="Pi-Hole" icon=pihole {
Text item=PiHole_DomainsBeingBlocked label="label1 [%s]"
Text item=PiHole_DnsQueriesToday label="label2 [%d]"
....
}
}
I’m trying to achieve the same (avg room temp - indoor), but it seems I cannot get my head around the Group setup and I seem to miss some basic understanding of it. Therefore, some help and guidance on this topic would be highly appreciated.
I have the below setup:
ITEMS:
Group Tempus "Temperatur" <temp> (Home) // This Group collects all Temperature-related items, Indoor and Outdoor
Group TempIndoor "Haustemperatur" <temperature> (Home) //This Group just groups all indoor temperature sensors.
Group:Number:AVG TempIndoor "Durchschnittstemp Haus" <temperature> (Tempus) //I'd like to get an average of all indoor temperature items
In my SITEMAP, I have the below:
Group item=TempIndoor
Group item=Tempus
When I do that, it seems like openhab starts to hang.
See my LOGFILES:
[WARN ] [me.core.internal.events.EventHandler] - Dispatching event to subscriber 'org.eclipse.smarthome.core.internal.items.ItemUpdater@24fc5e' takes more than 5000ms.

Changing it back won’t help and I need to restart openhab.service.
what am I doing wrong and why is openhab freezing?
I am on openHAB 2.3.0-1 (Release Build)
Group Tempus "Temperatur" <temp> (Home) // This Group collects all Temperature-related items, Indoor and Outdoor
Group TempIndoor "Haustemperatur" <temperature> (Home) //This Group just groups all indoor temperature sensors.
Group:Number:AVG TempIndoorAVG "Durchschnittstemp Haus" <temperature> //I'd like to get an average of all indoor temperature items
Make the indoor temperature items member of the group TempIndoorAVG
OR
Remove the AVG group and make the TempIndoor group an AVG group:
Group Tempus "Temperatur" <temp> (Home) // This Group collects all Temperature-related items, Indoor and Outdoor
Group:Number:AVG TempIndoor "Haustemperatur" <temperature> (Home) //This Group just groups all indoor temperature sensors.
