So part of my OpenHAB fun so far has been to set a rule that enforces what I feel proper temperature settings should be in the house. Now that he seasons are shifting I see the need to maybe adjust those to new baseline numbers and I want to do this via the GUI and not manually setting a number by editing the default.rules file every time.
My thinking is I create three new items:
Number TargetTemp "Enforced Temp [%.1f °F]" (NestDetails)
Number TargetTempLow "Enforced Temp Low [%.1f °F]" (NestDetails)
Number TargetTempHigh "Enforced Temp HIgh [%.1f °F]" (NestDetails)
All they do is hold the number of the actual temperature that the rules use to enforce. I would like to be able to increase them and decrease them as needed much like the Setpoint item.
My problem is that if I define them as a setpoint in the sitemap, they show up on the main page. I don’t want them there for obvious reasons. I want it buried 3 levels deep in Group Nest -> Group NestDetails. I set them up how I think they should look, but I can’t toggle the numbers. It just displays them. Furthermore, explicitly using the following in the sitemap yields the controls I want, but they are at the top level.
Setpoint item=TargetTemp label="Enforced Temp [%.1f °F]" (NestDetails) minValue=60 maxValue=80 step=1 visibility=[Nest_hvac_mode=="cool"]
Setpoint item=TargetTempHigh label="Enforced Temp High [%.1f °F]" (NestDetails) minValue=70 maxValue=80 step=1 visibility=[Nest_hvac_mode=="heat-cool"]
Setpoint item=TargetTempLow label="Enforced Temp Low [%.1f °F]" (NestDetails) minValue=60 maxValue=70 step=1 visibility=[Nest_hvac_mode=="heat-cool"]
In short,
I want the Enforced temp items to show up ONLY with group NestDetails and with the ability to change the number. What am I doing wrong?
Here are the full item, sitemap and screenshots for reference
