when

	Item maxWindowBuero changed
	
then
if (maxWindowBuero.state == OPEN){
	BueroTemp.sendCommand(maxSetTempBuero.set_temp)
        // BueroTemp.postUpdate(maxSetTempBuero.set_temp) <- this I tried also
	maxSetTempBuero.sendCommand(5.0)

How can I save the current setting of my heating maxSetTempBuero?
I tried a lot of combinations but did not get the rule running.
I copied it from here:

Any help for a beginner is wellcome!

Thanks in advance,

sendCommand and postUpdate are methods for items, you are trying to set a global variable to a new value!
The sign to perform that is just =

3 
maxSetTempBuero.set_temp

As maxSetTempBuero is an item, there is no method nor property named set_temp. Instead of this, you have to use

BueroTemp = maxSetTempBuero.state as Number

Thanks for your answer. Will try this evening at home. Looks like it is exactly what I need.

For better understanding: What does “.state” mean? Can you point me to the documentation for learning?
