[SOLVED] Map Transformation only on one Item

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps
1

  • Platform information:

    • Hardware: RaspberryPi 4
    • openHAB version: 2.5

  • I have two Items with the sam channel. I want only that one Item transform by the map file. My configuration look like this:

String	SZ_HarmonyHub_Aktuell	"Aktuelle [MAP(harmony.map):%s]"	{channel="harmonyhub:hub:Schlafzimmer:currentActivity"}
String	SZ_HarmonyHub			"Aktuelle Aktivität"				{channel="harmonyhub:hub:Schlafzimmer:currentActivity"}

My Sitemap look this:

Switch item=SZ_HarmonyHub label="Aktuell" icon="screen"
Text item=SZ_HarmonyHub_Aktuell label="Aktuell" icon="receiver"

In the PaperUI it look like this:

How can I edit my file, that the transformation only change the text from the Item “SZ_Harmony_Aktuell” but don´t show in front of the Item “SZ_HarmonyHub”?

Create a sitemap and use BasicUI for control. You can edit how the item is displayed in the sitemap file.

BTW, PaperUI is for configuration not control.

Sorry, I actually meant BasicUI instead of PaperUI

What’s in your map file?

To suppress state display, use an empty state format in your sitemap label or in your Item definition label
label="Aktuell []"

You don’t have to give labels in both places. If you do, the sitemap “wins”. If you don’t specify any state [format], you get the default state display.

Thank you, that was the problem.

I change the one Item to:

String	SZ_HarmonyHub	"Aktuelle Aktivität[]"	{channel="harmonyhub:hub:Schlafzimmer:currentActivity"}

And now it look like it should:

The MAP file only transform one Item instead of both.
I haven’t changed anything else.

Thank you!

The MAP transform only applied to the labels that you tell it to apply to.
