Dynamic sitemaps: Can't get Visibility to work fine

[Gilles GBA]

Hi,

Basically I want to hide heatings frame (or at least group, or items) when I don't need it (let say in summer). So I play with the visibility features, but can't have it to work.

I use explanations and samples from the doc/wiki and from this post : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/openhab/Sitemaps$3A$20dynamic/openhab/uMBrYWi-eeI/3r0eQTjOWqMJ

I try with both openhab versions 1.5.0, and 1.6.0 #704 (August, 9th), in classic UI.

I also try with Habdroid 1.5.1.0 and 1.5.1.0 #135 (July, 25th).

Here are my test files (no rule or script, only those two files):

default.items

Switch XbmcLiving_State

String XbmcLiving_Title

default.sitemap

sitemap home label="Test" { 

Frame label="XBMC" {

Switch item=XbmcLiving_State label="State [%s]" mappings=[ON="Play", OFF="Pause"]

Text item=XbmcLiving_Title label="Title [%s]" visibility=[XbmcLiving_State==ON]

Text item=XbmcLiving_Title label="Title [%s]" visibility=[XbmcLiving_State=="ON"]

Text item=XbmcLiving_Title label="Title [%s]" visibility=[XbmcLiving_State==On]

Text item=XbmcLiving_Title label="Title [%s]" visibility=[XbmcLiving_State=="On"]

Text item=XbmcLiving_Title label="Title [%s]" visibility=[XbmcLiving_State==on]

Text item=XbmcLiving_Title label="Title [%s]" visibility=[XbmcLiving_State=="on"]

}

}

Can anyone tells me what I'm doing wrong ?

Many thanks.

Gilles

Hi Gilles,

I don't see anything immediately wrong with your definition. I do exactly this on a lot of items in my sitemaps with the following definition -:

visibility=[LoungeThermostat_State==ON, LoungeThermostat_State=="HOLD"]

Gilles,

The correct is:

Text  item=XbmcLiving_Title  label="Title [%s]"  visibility=[XbmcLiving_State==ON]

I have some issues with dynamic sitemaps when I change the sitemap file and don't restart openhab.   After restarting openhab they start to work again.  Have you tried to do a full openhab restart?

Hi Chris, Renato,

It finally works perfectly.

Issues was a bad "eclipsehome" on one testing environment, and a missing OH restart in the other... Stupid me!

Thanks for your replies.

Gilles
