Programmatic Access To Channel Enable/Disable Status [message #1706554]

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to programmatically enable or disable a channel and determine if a channel is enabled or disabled in the Thing handlers. Reading through documentation and looking at code in the SmartHome and OpenHAB2 hasn't brought out anything obvious.

Is programmatic access to enabling and disabling a channel easily accessible through Thing handlers?

It is not possible, as the user or the application should usually decide which functionality of the binding should be used. Enabling a channel is also a specific Term of the ThingSetupManager. A channel is usable if an item is linked to a channel.

This is possible, you can call the method "isLinked" from the ThingHandler.
