[knx] Thing channelTypeUID isn't displayed correctly when using *-control channel #9462

Closed udo1toni closed 1 year ago

udo1toni commented 3 years ago

Expected Behavior

If using a *-control channel Type, "Control" should be displayed in addition to the general Type (Switch, Dimmer...)

Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs)

Create a *-control Channel in a knx thing and save. Look at the configuration...

This issue is available in openHAB2.x as well as in openHAB3 :)

Related to openHAB 3:

I have faced a similar issue during configuration. At least for the DateTime Control channel it is correct.

Example: image

For the configuration part it seems to look good except for the DateTime Control channel type.

But that's just i wrong xml definition which i have checked some minutes ago in the repo.

Edit:

Wrong xml definition for DateTime Control can be found here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/blob/main/bundles/org.openhab.binding.knx/src/main/resources/OH-INF/thing/device.xml#L146

You can check the conversation I had with @kaikreuzer in #12710 on improving the textual description. The outcome was not the change it.

@udo1toni @kaikreuzer shall we close this ticket?

kaikreuzer commented 1 year ago

Yep, let's close it - since the description shows the fact that these are control channels, the user is able to distinguish them.
