Make commands read/write and add read-only parameters

I would like to have the following points writable and not read-only so I can turn off my heating system when leaving the house (for instance):

  • heating.circuits.0.operating.programs.eco
  • heating.circuits.0.operating.programs.normal
  • heating.circuits.0.operating.programs.reduced
  • heating.circuits.0.operating.programs.comfort

Is it possible to remove the readOnly="true" from the <state> tag in thing-types.xml?

I would also like to have some data points for energy consumption (mainly gas):

  • heating.gas.consumption.dhw
  • heating.gas.consumption.heating
  • heating.gas.consumption.summary.dhw
  • heating.gas.consumption.summary.heating
  • heating.gas.consumption.total

can they just be added as the other values in thing-types.xml? Then I can try to make a pull request.

It seems that in general, only the eco and comfort programs have activate/deactivate commands, and even then only on some systems. The commands aren't always present and when present may be enabled or disabled depending on the state of the system.

I'm considering what is the best way of surfacing this - as there's not really any way of conveniently indicating whether the commands are present e.g. by greying out any associated control.

The gas consumption stats should already be visible in the latest release.

Fixed in 3.4.0
