    • OS: what OS is used and which version Openhabian (latest)
    • openHAB version: 2

  • Issue of the topic:
    Hello,
    Please let me know how I should not consider/filter the faulty temperature values (e.g -1332) that are displayed (sometimes) in my sitemap and also processed in different rules. I’m using 1wire protocol to receive the temperature values form 3 DS18B22 sensors. For the moment I just check in a rule if the temperature value is lower than 0 Celsius degrees. But the negative values are still displayed in sitemap/openhab Android App.
    It is possible to miss those negative values before any processing step (before rules ) ?
    Thank you,
    Marian

rule “Cand se modifica temperatura Centralei”
when
Item temp_Centrala changed
then
var Number v_prag_Centrala = prag_Centrala.state as DecimalType
var Number v_temp_Centrala = temp_Centrala.state as DecimalType
var Number v_prag_O_Centrala = prag_O_Centrala.state as DecimalType

if((v_temp_Centrala <= v_prag_Centrala) && v_temp_Centrala > 0 && flag_c.state == 0) // prin " v_temp_Centrala > 0" se evita valorile eronate
{
trimite_n_centrala.postUpdate(“Trimite_t”);
sendBroadcastNotification("Temperatura Centralei a scazut sub pragul de: "+v_prag_Centrala);
flag_c.postUpdate(1);
Relay.sendCommand(ON); // Pentru ca este NORMAL CLOSE
Stare_Centrala.postUpdate(“OFF”); // se va opri centrala respectiv ventilatorul care ajuta arderea lemnelor.
}

                    else  
                             if((v_temp_Centrala >= v_prag_Centrala +5) && flag_c.state == 1) { 
                            														flag_c.postUpdate(0)  	
                            														trimite_n_centrala.postUpdate("Nu trimite_t");
                            														}

No

You will need to use proxy items:

Number temp_Centrala "Temp. Centrala [%.1f °C]" <temperature>  { channel="onewiregpio:sensor:mysensor1:temperature" }
Number temp_Centrala_Proxy "Temp. Centrala [%.1f °C]" <temperature>

Rule:

rule "filter temp"
when
    Item temp_Centrala changed
then
    if ((temp_Centrala.state as Number) < -100) return; // Do nothing
    temp_Centrala_Proxy.postUpdate(temp_Centrala.state as Number)
end
