[SOLVED] Sitemap Image not working

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps
1

Hi all,

I’m running a RPi3 with openhab2.
The used OS is a Raspbian Stretch.

I’m trying to use the Image type on my sitemap:
http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/sitemaps.html#element-type-image

But the image is not displayed on the sitemap.

I receive the following messages in the log:
2017-11-19 13:00:41.136 [ERROR] [ui.internal.items.ItemUIRegistryImpl] - Cannot retrieve item ‘Cam_Test’ for widget org.eclipse.smarthome.model.sitemap.Image
2017-11-19 13:00:41.137 [ERROR] [ui.internal.items.ItemUIRegistryImpl] - Cannot retrieve item ‘Cam_Test’ for widget org.eclipse.smarthome.model.sitemap.Image
2017-11-19 13:00:41.139 [ERROR] [ui.internal.items.ItemUIRegistryImpl] - Cannot retrieve item for widget org.eclipse.smarthome.model.sitemap.Image

Currently I have no idea what to check further.

This is my Sitemap configuration:
Frame label=“Video” {
Text label=“Cams” icon=“camera” {
Image item=Cam_Test url=“https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/openhab/openhab/images/features.png”
}
}

I hope someone might be able to help.

Let me know if you need more information.

Best regards
Timmi

What’s the value of your item ?

3

What do you mean with value?

4

Item state if you prefer.

5

The item is a image. So I don’t know what type of state you request.

6

Is it an image or an URL ?
What UI are you using ?
Please show how this item is defined. To what binding channel is it LinkedIn ?

Hi Lolodomo,

I only defined this Item in the sitemap as show in my first post.
This is the example for this page:
http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/sitemaps.html#element-type-image

There is no further configuration than that.
Using BasicUi and the mobile app.

Best regards

I think that you should either item= or url=
if you use item= , the state of this item should be a string with the value of the url (you need to define/create such item in your files)
if you use url= , you simply type the url there

The ERROR that you are getting is because you haven’t defined/created the Cam_Test item (in an *.items file)

9

If you have the raw image or its URL ser in an item, you must use item= AND url=
If you don’t need item but just want to display an image from its URL, just use url=

Hi both,

I just tried the following:

Frame label="Video" {
  Text label="Kameras" icon="camera" {
    Image url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/openhab/openhab/images/features.png"
  }
}

This is not working for me. The basicUI does not show any pic. But now there is also no Error message in the log.

Best regards
Timmi
