Dear All, I want to send the value of dimmer to my http server via http binding, Here are my current rules and items settings Rules: Rule “RED LED” when Item Led_R received command then var Number b = 0 if(Led_R.state instanceof DecimalType) b = Led_R.state as DecimalType if(receivedComma…

I believe you will get current from https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB1-Addons/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bundles/binding/org.openhab.binding.http/target/ There are a few threads on updating 1.x bindings

Why not using this as @rlkoshak himself already laid as a suggestion. I do think he nailed it!

Your questions make we wonder if you do not have as much experience as needed. I recommend reading the Beginner’s Tutorial , if you truely have experience with Oh 1,…

Yes, I have used OH1 in past, but then due to hardware failure I had to concentrate on learning linux and python so I lost the command over OH, but I will read your suggestions, thanks for the help.

Rich, I tried some rules, but with my current settings of rules and items, the http binding sends the whole link like this ‘192.168.0.108:5000/red3/?d=%2$s’ where as it should send the value sent by the rule/ the python script returns: ‘could not convert string to float’ Here are my rules settin…
