Dear all!
I have a question about the display of items in a group in Basic UI sitemaps:
When I display individual items in the sitemap file, the items show up with a nice icon.
When I display a group in the sitemap file, the group also shows up with a nice icon.
But when I click into the group that same meber items do not have an icon (and their label form the *.items file).
How could I modify the way group members are shown?
The sitemap will pick up the label and icon from the item definition
I, myself put all the info in the item files and almost nothing in the sitemap as above (except mappings because these can only be defined in the sitemap)
Thank you! Yes, this partly works.
I put
<“qualityofservice”>
into the item definition. Now Basic-UI displays that icon (also under group), but only the “full” icon, i.e. with all bars in black. Whereas when I define the icon “qualityofservice” in the sitemap, it displays a dynamic icon, i.e. some bars gray and some black, according to the signal level the device reports.
Can I also achieve that?
Regards,
Sulla
You are being very supportive! Thanks!
I’m really puzzled how you’re gonna solve that!
I originally defined the group via paper-UI (I had a group function of “MIN”), and this worked, i.e. the group itself hat the dynamic icon. However, I find paper-UI not to be as stable as text based configurations, so I just now moved to .items files, and this resulted now in the group also not having dynamic icons, just as the other items.
I think I found the reason why it didn’t work.
Actually it worked as you suggested, Vincent. The Icons were dynamic.
It was just that homematic devices (or the binding) are tricky. They reported the signal strength as “NaN” for a reason I don’t know. I reloaded the state of the devices form the gateway again, and that synced the states to 1,2,3,4 and that caused the icons to be correctly dynamic.
Thanks for help anyway!
