Transform String „OFF“ to Switch OFF

[NCO (E. Gerland)]

All,

I get a long string using curl from a website.
From the response I extract multiple states like „OFF“ as a string.

Currently I check something like:
if(string.state == „OFF“) {
Switch.postUpdate(OFF).
}

I have seen something more straight forward somewhere like with a transform „OFF“ to switch state OFF within one LOC.
I cannot find it again, though.

Could someone please give me a hint?

Design Pattern: Human Readable Names in Messages

Please see Design Pattern: What is a Design Pattern and How Do I Use Them for details on what a DP is and how to use them. Problem Statement Sometimes one wants to create a message or log statement that references certain Items. A clear example of this is to generate an alert message to be sent when one or more sensors change state. We have a nice way to provide a human readable version of an Item’s name on the UIs (i.e. the label) but from a rule this becomes more difficult. Concept [image] …

The postUpdate and sendCommand accept strings too:

Switch.postUpdate(string.state.toString).

The toString is there to force the DSL parser to pass a string just in case
