hi,

I want to change state values of a channels (e.g. like in YamahaZoneThingHandler.java from yamahareceiver binding).

That's my channel and channel-type:
...
<channel id="movepreset" typeId="movepreset-channel" />
...
<channel-type id="movepreset-channel">
   <item-type>String</item-type>
      <label>Move to preset</label>
      <description>Moving to preset</description>
      <state pattern="%s">
         <options>
		<option value="HOME">home</option>
	</options>
     </state>
</channel-type>
....


That's my code to cahnge the states:
    protected void thingStructureChanged() {

        final ChannelTypeUID channelTypePresetUID = new ChannelTypeUID(
                MyBindingConstants.BINDING_ID, "movepreset-channel");
        
        ChannelType templateType = TypeResolver.resolve(channelTypePresetUID);

        List<StateOption> options = new ArrayList<>();
        options.add(new StateOption("TEST1", "Test 1"));
        options.add(new StateOption("TEST2", "Test 2"));

        StateDescription state = new StateDescription(null, null, null, "%s", false, options);

        ChannelUID movepresetChannelUID = new ChannelUID(thing.getUID(), "movepreset");
        
        ChannelTypeUID channelTypeUID = new ChannelTypeUID(movepresetChannelUID.getAsString());
        ChannelType channelType = new ChannelType(channelTypeUID, false, "String", templateType.getKind(),
                templateType.getLabel(), templateType.getDescription(), templateType.getCategory(),
                templateType.getTags(), state, templateType.getEvent(), templateType.getConfigDescriptionURI());
        
        Channel channel = ChannelBuilder.create(movepresetChannelUID, "String").withType(channelTypeUID).build();
        
        // Remove the old channel and add the new channel            
        updateThing(editThing().withoutChannel(movepresetChannelUID).withChannel(channel).build());
    }


The original channel seems to be removed and a new empty channel was added.
In PaperUI it looks like that:

index.php/fa/31528/0/

when I click on it:
index.php/fa/31529/0/

I don't understand it! Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

is there anything else what I missed with the created channeltype???
 ChannelType channelType = new ChannelType(channelTypeUID, false ...


for testing I add ".withLabel(..." to create call
Channel channel = ChannelBuilder.create(movepresetChannelUID, "String").withType(channelTypeUID)
                .withLabel("Test label").build();


the label is added probaply to the channel:
index.php/fa/31543/0/

I don't get it!

Hi Nils,

instead of adding/removing channel types and channels you should implement your own ConfigDescriptionProvider. With this you can dynamically change the config options provided for a specific channel type.

Hope that helps. Cheers
Henning

Hi Henning,

thank you for your response. I've just seen this the ConfigDescriptionProvider yesterday.
I will give it a try.

hi Henning,
happy new year!
I've tried now but can't get it work. i've implemented an OptinonProvider which imlpements ConfigDescriptionProvider, ConfigOptionProvider (like Chris in his zwave binding). I create the xml configuration for this OptionProvider In OSGI-INF.
When I start openhab the OptionProvider is only called for my bridge properties but not for my thing with the channels.
Have you an idea what I doing wrong?

after a long break I try it again but without success.

In PaperUI it looks like:

because of the default channel definition in my thing.xml.
index.php/fa/33201/0/
I want that the presets are dynamic loaded from a server:
index.php/fa/33202/0/

How can I change the options at runtime? Can you give me a simple example?

... I think I mess things up ...

the ConfigDescriptionProvider seems not to be the right choice for that!

Hello Nils,

thank you for not giving up yet! I am pretty sure we will manage to get your problem solved.

I guess what you need is a ConfigOptionProvider as an OSGi service, like implemented in our magic testing bundle:

https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/2c0d330532c898bd7e26815e38d8715de87f8f32/bundles/test/org.eclipse.smarthome.magic/src/main/java/org/eclipse/smarthome/magic/binding/internal/MagicServiceImpl.java#L44-L57

Regards,

Stefan

Hello Stefan,

thank you for your answer and your help.

In the meantime I found a solution. I used a DynamicStateDescriptionProvider. For all who are interested
-> that's my implementation: https://github.com/nibi79/synologysurveillancestation/blob/master/src/main/java/org/openhab/binding/synologysurveillancestation/internal/discovery/SynoDynamicStateDescriptionProvider.java

Thanks again!

Hello Nils,

glad you found a solution. I was actually on the wrong track with configurations...

Are you planning to create a PR to ESh or openhab2-addons with your new binding? Would be cool to see it as a contribution!

Regards,

Stefan
