Channel Configuration [message #1717369]

Is there a way to send the thing handler notification that a channel configuration has been updated (with the updated configuration)? Something similar to:

public void updateConfiguration(ThingUID thingUID, Map<String, Object> configurationParameters)
            throws ConfigValidationException

but with a channel UID?

(One option I can see is to add configuration parameter to the map that will be use to identify that this is a channel configuration and override handleConfigurationUpdate, but it seems to me more like a hack.)

Channel configurations are currently pretty weakly supported in general as there weren't many use cases yet. I would claim that we will need to add similar possibilities as for the thing configuration itself, so probably we should have a handleChannelConfigurationUpdate() method similar to handleConfigurationUpdate() on the ThingHandler. Feel free to enter an issue for this or even better directly provide a pull request Smile

Is there a solution now? I cannot find anything about how to update a Channel's config.

Maybe extending this question slightly, but now that ZWave has the ability to configure things in text files, I'm getting questions about how to configure channels in text files.

Is this possible at the moment?

Yes, it is possible, see https://www.eclipse.org/smarthome/documentation/features/dsl.html#state-channels. You can provide a channel configuration just the same way as you provide a configuration for a Thing.
