Hi,

I am learning the core o fthe smarthome and one thing I currently cannot find is where do I store information like room or zone and how can I manage it (as I understand it is somehow should be binded to a THING).

Thx

Hi Eyal,

Rooms and zones are nothing else but Group items in Eclipse SmartHome, i.e. a named set of items. So this grouping is done on a "functional" level and not on a physical (=thing) level.

A more powerful "location" concept is still on the roadmap to be implemented, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=443908. But this should go well beyond the notion of rooms and rather allow context-aware rules etc.

Regards,
Kai

Room and zone from my perspective are not physical device level (as they are not being sent to the physical device), and I agree to your view. As I understand, items which are physical device level connected to the Thing via channel.
So, In that case, does it mean that GroupItem which holds room, zoon etc. are not connected to the Thing via a channel?
