Transform the button state value directly on item

@Oliver2

Is there a particular reason why you want to map it on channel level? You could do this also in your rule or GUI

Like i mentioned, i wanna map this at the lowest level as possible, since i don’t think it’s a good idea to deal in higher levels like rules with it.

Yes, rules itself might be an option to translate but for me it misleads the complete idea of mapping services since i think its exactly made for the case transforming from one value to another

Also its very annoying to always think about “what was 1002 about? was it short press? long press?”

Therefore, mapping it in rules is not really an option

@Oliver2

for your state description, but state description is “”

I just adapted it from this post

[OH3] Add metadata to Items via configuration files

Same here. WARN is gone if min max and step is deleted.

But it also does not work with a string placeholder

@Oliver2

Moreover, are you sure that trigger-event-string supports “options” for mapping?

This options is not for the profile, but for your mentioned state description approach. The profile is required to receive any change to the item … otherwise i’ll get nothing to the item.
