<li>
<b>&lt;name&gt;</b><br>
A name of your choice.</li><br>
<li>
<b>&lt;source_regex&gt;</b><br>
Regexp that must match your devices, readings and values that contain
the JSON strings. Regexp syntax is the same as used by notify and must not
contain a space.<br>
</li><br>
<li>
<b>&lt;target_regex&gt;</b><br>
Optional: This regexp is used to determine whether the target reading is
converted or not at all. If not set then all readings will be used. If set
then only matching readings will be used. Regexp syntax is the same as
used by notify and must not contain a space.<br>

Attributes



• addReadingsPrefix
  Add source reading as prefix to new generated readings. Useful if you have more than one reading with a JSON string that should be converted.



<li><b>disable</b><br>
Used to disable this device.
</li><br>
<li><b>do_not_notify</b><br>
Do not generate events for converted readings at all. Think twice before
using this attribute. In most cases, it is more appropriate to use event-on-change-reading in target devices.
