Text Based Config Sensor group problem

Bugs
#1

Hi,

I try to move to the text based config and have problems with group states of sensors. I have grouped nine window contact sensors as follows:

{
                            "type": "sensor",
                            "position": "3-1,1-1",
                            "properties": 
                            {
                                "label": "Fenster",
                                "type": "window",
                                "icon": "window",
                                "group": true,
                                "group-states": 
                                {
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Kuechentuer": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Kuechentuer"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Terrassentuer": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Terrassentuer"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Schlafzimmertuer": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Schlafzimmertuer"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Ella": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Ella"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Bad": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Bad"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Luis_Bett": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Luis_Bett"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Luis_Tisch_links": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Luis_Tisch_links"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_Luis_Tisch_rechts": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_Luis_Tisch_rechts"
                                    },
                                    "Fensterkontakt_HAR": 
                                    {
                                        "binding": "Fensterkontakt_HAR"
                                    }
                                },
                                "reverse": false
                            }
                        },

But the state is not shown. It shows only – as result in the widget. Also it would be great if you could update the trigger time in the docu.

@rene54321 regarding documentation for trigger time, it is available on beta docs page, as timestamp property: https://docs.homehabit.app/beta

#3

Is this documentation different from this?

#4

Perfect thanks for clarification.

#5

Yes.
https://docs.homehabit.app/beta - is the pre-release beta version documentation
https://docs.homehabit.app - is the main release documentation

Hi,

i have this problem too - for months. It only appears, when I use the Text Based Config. As long as I use grouping within the app editor, everything works fine. Sadly this is only my playground for testing. I tried to copy the configuration via online-editor to the json-file, but it shows only the two dashes.

Meanwhile I group my sensors in openHAB and display the logical state of this group “open windows” as a single value with the widget, but it would be much improvement to know exactly how many windows are open or closed.

Regards
Matthias
