@jlaur I have a general conceptual question on this change: we store the room names in which devices are located in a thing property, which used to have the non-compliant spelling
Location
, and was now changed tolocation
starting with a lower case letter.My question is whether a thing property is the correct place to store this in general, because I looked at properties of other things and found that they are usually quite technical / hardware-specific. It this the right place to store location metadata, or do you have better ideas?

Sorry, I forgot about this again after receiving an e-mail notification amongst many. Can you provide an example of a location, and perhaps more importantly, what is the use-case of having it?

Hi @jlaur,
no problem, this PR is not time-critical, as it does not affect the actual thing/channel logics. It is kind of in between a bug and an enhancement 😉 I'm grateful for your support in any case.
The Bosch Smart Home system allows users to manage their rooms and to assign devices to rooms. For example, users can specify that window sensor A ist located in the living room and that smoke detector B is located in the dining room.
Internally, each room has a somewhat cryptic ID (like
hz_1
), and a user-provided name. Users will usually assign a name in their native language. So the actual name ofhz_1
might beLiving Room
orWohnzimmer
.In rare cases, for example if devices are repurposed or moved, the room assignment might change. This is not reflected in openHAB so far.
Behavior before this PR:
Location
. The value is the "resolved" room name (e.g.Living Room
)Behavior with this PR:
Location
(with upper caseL
), the property is removed.location
(note the lower casel
to comply with openHAB naming guideline). The value is still the "resolved" room name (e.g.Living Room
)location
property is not present yet, the thing propertylocation
is updated with the new "resolved" room name (e.g.Kitchen
)The question is whether a thing property is the right place to store room names at all.
