Have a look here for details.

A simple scene management: finally a good use of scripts

With a specialized mapping in the sitemap you can call the script you like. Prior to that concept, i had several SwitchITems which each triggered a special rule. This bunch of SwitchItems could be removed. The item: String call…

Another thing is the configuration of Keymappings. You have your pool of functions which you want to be configured for some keys/keypresses.

Configurable buttons/switches: another good use of scripts

I have a number of Buttons around my house to trigger functions. But which functions at which locations? That’s so difficult to plan apart from the obvious “turn the local light on”. The scene management provided me the idea how to simplify this. I use the following keys/buttons, depending on location: If the key is located near wall switches i use the homematic ones: HM-PB-2-WM55. For buttons located e.g. under the table or somewhere else i use the Xiaomi Aqara switches. Both switche…

And, last but not least, here is the github issue i opened:
