Hiding or disabling unneeded attributes

---

Good day,

I’ve been tinkering with the pimatic-smartmeter plugin to add support for gas meter readings. The parameters/attributes supported differ substantially between different smart meter models. Therefore the question arose if there’s a way to hide or disable unused attributes like e.g. gas meter readings of PV production when these are not present.

Regards,

@ewasscher For most device types hiding attributes is supported. See example below. Unfortunately, the pimatic-smartmeter plugiin does not support it as far as I can see. I have file a request for it at https://github.com/saberone/pimatic-smartmeter/issues/8

EDIT: I have also add a PR which adds the feature

{
      "id": "forecast",
      "class": "OpenWeatherForecastDevice",
      "name": "Wettervorhersage 1 Tag für Berlin",
      "location": "Berlin, DE",
      "lang": "de",
      "units": "metric",
      "xtimeout": 300000,
      "day": 1,
      "xAttributeOptions": [
        {
          "name": "snow",
          "hidden": true
        }
      ]
    }

@mwittig
Is is possible to display snow only in winter month with a rule or someway else?

@thost96 Short answer: No

@mwittig I updated the smarmeter plugin and added the xAttributeOptions to my config

{
      "id": "smartmeter",
      "class": "Smartmeterdevice",
      "name": "Smartmeter",
      "serialport": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
      "baudRate": 9600,
      "dataBits": 7,
      "parity": "even",
      "stopBits": 1,
      "flowControl": true,
      "xAttributeOptions": [
        {
          "name": "Activetariff",
          "hidden": true
        }
      ]
    },

but it’s not hidden, what am I doing wrong.

Did you clear the browser cache?

EDIT: Wrong spelling! The attribute name starts with a lower case character. `activetariff’

@mwittig
Thanks it’s working
