Basic Profiles

This bundle provides a list of useful Profiles.

Generic Command Profile

This Profile can be used to send a Command towards the Item when one event of a specified event list is triggered. The given Command value is parsed either to IncreaseDecreaseType, NextPreviousType, OnOffType, PlayPauseType, RewindFastforwardType, StopMoveType, UpDownType or a StringType is used.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
events	text	Comma separated list of events to which the profile should listen. mandatory
command	text	Command which should be sent if the event is triggered. mandatory

Full Example

Switch lightsStatus {
    channel="hue:0200:XXX:1:color",
    channel="deconz:switch:YYY:1:buttonevent" [profile="basic-profiles:generic-command", events="1002,1003", command="ON"]
}

Generic Toggle Switch Profile

The Generic Toggle Switch Profile is a specialization of the Generic Command Profile and toggles the State of a Switch Item whenever one of the specified events is triggered.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
events	text	Comma separated list of events to which the profile should listen. mandatory

Full Example

Switch lightsStatus {
    channel="hue:0200:XXX:1:color",
    channel="deconz:switch:YYY:1:buttonevent" [profile="basic-profiles:toggle-switch", events="1002,1003"]
}

Debounce (Counting) Profile

This Profile counts and skips a user-defined number of State changes before it sends an update to the Item. It can be used to debounce Item States.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
numberOfChanges	integer	Number of changes before updating Item State.

Full Example

Switch debouncedSwitch { channel="xxx" [profile="basic-profiles:debounce-counting", numberOfChanges=2] }

Debounce (Time) Profile

In LAST mode this profile delays commands or state updates for a configured number of milliseconds and only send the value if no other value is received with that timespan. In FIRST mode this profile discards values for the configured time after a value is sent.

It can be used to debounce Item States/Commands or prevent excessive load on networks.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
toItemDelay	integer	Timespan in ms before a received value is send to the item.
toHandlerDelay	integer	Timespan in ms before a received command is passed to the handler.
mode	text	FIRST (sends the first value received and discards later values), LAST (sends the last value received, discarding earlier values).

Full Example

Number:Temperature debouncedSetpoint { channel="xxx" [profile="basic-profiles:debounce-time", toHandlerDelay=1000] }

Invert / Negate Profile

The Invert / Negate Profile inverts or negates a Command / State. It requires no specific configuration.

The values of QuantityType, PercentType and DecimalTypes are negated (multiplied by -1). Otherwise the following mapping is used:

IncreaseDecreaseType: INCREASE <-> DECREASE NextPreviousType: NEXT <-> PREVIOUS OnOffType: ON <-> OFF OpenClosedType: OPEN <-> CLOSED PlayPauseType: PLAY <-> PAUSE RewindFastforwardType: REWIND <-> FASTFORWARD StopMoveType: MOVE <-> STOP UpDownType: UP <-> DOWN

Full Example

Switch invertedSwitch { channel="xxx" [profile="basic-profiles:invert"] }

Round Profile

The Round Profile scales the State to a specific number of decimal places based on the power of ten. Optionally the Rounding mode (opens new window) can be set. Source Channels should accept Item Type Number.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
scale	integer	Scale to indicate the resulting number of decimal places (min: -16, max: 16, STEP: 1) mandatory.
mode	text	Rounding mode to be used (e.g. "UP", "DOWN", "CEILING", "FLOOR", "HALF_UP" or "HALF_DOWN" (default: "HALF_UP").

Full Example

Number roundedNumber { channel="xxx" [profile="basic-profiles:round", scale=0] }
Number:Temperature roundedTemperature { channel="xxx" [profile="basic-profiles:round", scale=1] }

Threshold Profile

The Threshold Profile triggers ON or OFF behavior when being linked to a Switch item if value is below a given threshold (default: 10). A good use case for this Profile is a battery low indication. Source Channels should accept Item Type Dimmer or Number.

Note

This profile is a shortcut for the System Hysteresis Profile.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
threshold	integer	Triggers ON if value is below the given threshold, otherwise OFF (default: 10, min: 0, max: 100).

Full Example

Switch thresholdItem { channel="xxx" [profile="basic-profiles:threshold", threshold=15] }

Time Range Command Profile

This is an enhanced implementation of a follow profile which converts OnOffType to a PercentType. The value of the percent type can be different between a specific time of the day. A possible use-case is switching lights (using a presence detector) with different intensities at day and at night. Be aware: a range beyond midnight (e.g. start="23:00", end="01:00") is not yet supported.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
inRangeValue	integer	The value which will be send when the profile detects ON and current time is between start time and end time (default: 100, min: 0, max: 100).
outOfRangeValue	integer	The value which will be send when the profile detects ON and current time is NOT between start time and end time (default: 30, min: 0, max: 100).
start	text	The start time of the day (hh:mm).
end	text	The end time of the day (hh:mm).
restoreValue	text	Select what should happen when the profile detects OFF again (default: OFF).

Possible values for parameter restoreValue:

• OFF - Turn the light off
• NOTHING - Do nothing
• PREVIOUS - Return to previous value
• 0 - 100 - Set a user-defined percent value

Full Example

Switch motionSensorFirstFloor {
    channel="deconz:presencesensor:XXX:YYY:presence",
    channel="deconz:colortemperaturelight:AAA:BBB:brightness" [profile="basic-profiles:time-range-command", inRangeValue=100, outOfRangeValue=15, start="08:00", end="23:00", restoreValue="PREVIOUS"]
}

State Filter Profile

This filter passes on state updates from a (binding) handler to the item if and only if all listed item state conditions are met (conditions are ANDed together). Option to instead pass different state update in case the conditions are not met. State values may be quoted to treat as StringType.

Use case: Ignore values from a binding unless some other item(s) have a specific state.

Configuration

Configuration Parameter	Type	Description
conditions	text	Comma separated list of expressions on the format ITEM_NAME OPERATOR ITEM_STATE, ie MyItem EQ OFF. Use quotes around ITEM_STATE to treat value as string ie 'OFF' and not OnOffType.OFF
mismatchState	text	Optional state to pass instead if conditions are NOT met. Use single quotes to treat as StringType. Defaults to UNDEF
separator	text	Optional separator string to separate expressions when using multiple. Defaults to ,

Possible values for token OPERATOR in conditions:

• EQ - Equals
• NEQ - Not equals

Full Example

Number:Temperature airconTemperature{
        channel="mybinding:mything:mychannel"[profile="basic-profiles:state-filter",conditions="airconPower_item EQ ON",mismatchState="UNDEF"]
}
