Hi all,

I've the follwing question...

Is it possible to add channels conditionally to the device functions?

In my case I've two cameras one camera supports ptz ( ptz = zooming and moving) the second one does not.

Can I disable this channel for one camera or have I define to different cameratypes in my thing.xml? If so can one definition inherit from the other? Or is there another possibility to implement this?

Hi Nils,

you would have to define different thing types for different camera models. So every model then has exactly the channel it provides.

Cheers,
Henning

If you use the XML files there is no possibility for inheritance.
If you use Java code to add thing types, this is possible (at least I do it on some of my projects and it is working).
