Create Generic Thing missing?
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi Dirk @diRk262
since OH3 GenericThings cannot be created with the GUI any longer. As these things should only be used in rare cases, I unlisted them. However in OH2 you had the option to show all thing types of a binding (like the advanced channels). This option is gone in OH3.
I plan to change the channels of a GenericThing to be extensible. So you can add more than one Number channel for example. I will remove the "unlist" flag with this change too. In the meantime you have to add your GenericThings by file.
Best regards
Daniel
Hi Daniel @fruggy83 ,
Thank you for the response and clarification.
It was my fear that this option is gone in OH3 :(
I am not familiar with textual definition, I set up all of my things and itmes with the GUI.
My plan is to create a virtual BiDi Peha actuator and control it with a 450 FU-HS128 remote. For this I need to receive the remote‘s telegram and send the confirmation telegram from openhab to the remote. So it is vica versa compared to a real actuator because openhab needs to be acting like the actuator. Maybe this will be doable with a generic thing.
I will take a look for some documentation how I can create the generic thing, use the unsupported EEP‘s and transform it to my needs.
Thank you for your work.
Best regards Dirk
