Z-Wave, Thermostats and Heating Mode Names

Add-ons Bindings

Hi!

My setup:
OH 3.4.1
Raspi 4
JDK 11.0.11 (AdoptOpenJDK-11.0.11+9)
Eurotronics Z-Wave Plus Thermostats

This is more about understanding how things work than it is a problem.
I’m using Eurotronics Z-Wave Plus Thermostats. To set the Thermostat Heating Mode it provides a Number Item which is configured in an .item file, e.g.

Number BathroomSystemMode "BathroomSystemMode" (gThermostatMode, Bathroom, gHeatingPersistence) { channel = "zwave:device:a640e92a:node25:thermostat_mode"}

The heating modes are set by different numeric values:

Aus=0
Normal=1
Eco=11
Boost=15

I can set the modes by value in rules, e.g. :

BathroomSystemMode.sendCommand(1)

Now if I look at the Item in the UI, the state is not shown as a numeric value, but in a textual representation, e.g. “Heat”, “Economy Heat”, “Full Power” and “Off”, while the Item type is still a number.

Where does this text come from? Is this done by the binding? Should I apply mappings to the Item to get the text in another language?

To add some context, I found this during my first steps migrating HABPanel to MainUI. Seems there is no 1:1 replacement for the “Selection” widget, but it can be done now with “oh_label_card”, but does not provide the same mapping capabilities, so this strings are now shown in the label of the card.

I think it comes from the binding.

I don’t know about translations
