Hello,

I think I have a very beginner question - but I don’t know how to do it correct. I’m very new in programming with openHAB. I already searched in other Topics but didn’t find an answer.

My configuration has three Switch elements on the sitemap to move my rollershutters in position:

Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]

The items for the three are defined e.g. like this:

Number          GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition   "Rolladen rechts - Höhe anfahren"   <rollershutter>      (GF_LivingRoom, gShutter)          ["Rollershutter"]                  {channel=""}

That the boxes of the Switch are unchecked after every click of the button, I made this rule:

rule "Rolladen Position anfahren"

when
      Item  GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition received update or
      Item  GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition received update or
      Item  GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition received update
then
        if(GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition.state != NULL)
        {
            GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeft.sendCommand(GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition.state)
            GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition.state = NULL
        }

        if(GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition.state != NULL)
        {
            GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddle.sendCommand(GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition.state)
            GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition.state = NULL
        }

        if(GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition.state != NULL)
        {
            GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRight.sendCommand(GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition.state)
            GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition.state = NULL
        }
end

My problem now is: Everything works fine but in the sitemap I always get the percentage of the item (marked yellow):

Can somebody explain why I get the %-value and is it possible to make it invisible?

Thanks in advance.

What does your sitemap file look like?

Here you can se an extract of the sitemap file:

        Text label="Wohnzimmer" icon="sofa" {
			Frame label="Licht" icon="light" {
                Slider item=GF_LivingRoom_Light
            }
            Frame label="Steckdosen" icon="poweroutlet" {
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_TVRightLeft
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_TVRightRight
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_VitrineLeftLeft
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_VitrineLeftRight
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_TVMiddleMiddle
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_TVMiddleRight
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_VitrineMiddle
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_VitrineRight
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_Fensterfront_Vit
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_Power_Fensterf_Freis
            }
            Frame label="Rolladen" icon="rollershutter" {
                //Alle Rolläden
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterAll
                //Rolladen links
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeft
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
                //Rolladen Mitte
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddle
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
                //Rolladen rechts
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRight
                Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
            }
            Frame label="Heizungssteuerung" icon="flow" {
                Default item=GF_LivingRoom_Temperature
                Default item=GF_LivingRoom_SollTemperature //minValue=4.5 maxValue=30 step=0.5
                Selection item=GF_LivingRoom_SollVerschTemperature mappings=[-3="-3°C", -2.5="-2.5°C", -2="-2°C", -1.5="-1.5°C", -1="-1°C", -0.5="-0.5°C", 0="keine", 0.5="+0.5°C", 1="+1°C", 1.5="+1.5°C", 2="+2°C", 2.5="+2.5°C", 3="+3°C"]
                Selection item=GF_LivingRoom_Heating mappings=[1="Komfort", 2="Standby", 3="Nacht", 4="Frostschutz"]
                Default item=GF_LivingRoom_Window
                Text item=GF_LivingRoom_StatusStellwert
            }
		}

Add "[]" as the label in the sitemap element:

Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition "[]" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition "[]" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition "[]" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]

Also,
Why do you do that?

GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition.state = NULL

For what purpose?

Thank you for the reply.

I found no other way to uncheck the 25%, 50% and 75% buttons after clicking them.

When I do that on the sitemap the console says:

14:41:29.106 [WARN ] [del.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model "myhouse.sitemap' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [52,63]: mismatched input '"[]"' expecting '}'
[55,65]: mismatched input '"[]"' expecting '}'
[58,64]: mismatched input '"[]"' expecting '}'
[60,13]: missing EOF at 'Frame'

My apologies:

Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition label="[]" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterMiddlePosition label="[]" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition label="[]" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]
8 
GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition.state = NULL

This would be a more correct syntax:

GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition.postUpdate(NULL)

Why use Item type Switch instead of type Rollershutter ?

10

Because of historical reasons. Before I had the rule I used the KNX-Binding to move to the position directly with an own item instead of using the item.sendCommand() of the already existing rollershutter item.
But you’re right - now that I use .sendCommand() I can change it back to type ‘Rollershutter’.

Thank you! That worked for me. Perfect :hugs:

I now only have the problem that the alignment of all objects is different:

Is it possible to harmonize them?

Remove [] from labels?

13

I’m surprised you get any label text at all with sitemap label="[]"
You could give the label text in the sitemap, or put the null state formatter in your Item label and take away the sitemap parameter.

What about defining the label in the sitemap?

Switch item=GF_LivingRoom_ShutterLeftPosition label="Rolladen links - Hohe anfahren []" mappings=[25="25%", 50="50%", 75="75%"]

Sorry I don’t have the same characters

Another thing: You don’t need to postUpdate(NULL) to the Item Instead set the Item to autoupdate=“false”

Number GF_LivingRoom_ShutterRightPosition "Rolladen rechts - Höhe anfahren" <rollershutter> (GF_LivingRoom, gShutter) ["Rollershutter"] { channel="", autoupdate="false" }

This way the Item will not change its status when sending a command.
But in fact there is no reason for this rule and the proxy items.
