Two Dimmer Items

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hello,

I have a room with two dimmer lights. I try to configure the items in the following way:

Dimmer EG_Kitchen_clining_light “Deckenlampe” (EG_Kitchen) { knx=“15/3/20+15/3/20, 15/3/21, 15/3/22” }
Dimmer EG_Kitchen_table_light “Tischlampe” (EG_Kitchen) { knx=“15/3/20+15/3/20, 15/3/21, 15/3/22” }

If I use both definitions it doesn’t work. I can not open the Kitchen in the web interface any more. If I use only one of them it works fine. What could be the problem or the solution?

I take it your using 1.8, if that is the case there is not fix yet other then just using one.

Don’t know if this is the same issue or not: https://github.com/openhab/openhab/issues/2900 What do you see when you use chrome and press i and look at the console?

I have a solution for the problem. I have to provide a place holder for the percent value in the lable string like so:

Dimmer EG_Kitchen_clining_light “Deckenlampe [%s]” (EG_Kitchen) { knx=“15/3/20+16/3/20, 15/3/21, 15/3/22” }
Dimmer EG_Kitchen_table_light “Tischlampe [%s]” (EG_Kitchen) { knx=“15/3/23+16/3/23, 15/3/24, 15/3/25” }

If I do so the two dimmers showing up in the EG_Kitchen Group

Not a KNX guy, but it looks like the binding strings are IDENTICAL. Getting individual device addressability with identical binding strings seems like it requires a form of magic. Then again, not a KNX guy.

This was just an example so I don’t use real KNX group addresses. In my real config they are diffrent. I will change the values so it does not confuse any more

The workaround is adding the [%s] to the string. Instead of “foo”, use “foo [%s]”
