I have the following in
Item:
Switch Elenio_C6 “Samsung A5 / Elenio” { channel=“network:pingdevice:elenio_cell:online” }
Sitemap:
Text item=Elenio_C6 label=“Elenio è [%s]” icon=“network”
Didn’t find any Transformation rule for this
How To?

Use MAP transformation.

Item:

Switch Elenio_C6 “Samsung A5 / Elenio [MAP(present.map):%s]” { channel=“network:pingdevice:elenio_cell:online” }

Create map file

present.map
ON=Present
OFF=Not Present
