Adding jrule in addons.cfg

I want to experiment with JRule - openHAB Rules using Java and added the line below to the file but doesn’t install in

automation = jrule

What is wrong?

JRule isn’t an official add-on. You need to download the jar file and drop it into the add-ons folder.

Will it become a supported solution?

That’s a question for the developer of the add-on. In most ways it already is a supported solution in that it’s developed for, updated, and maintained to work with OH. But the developer will need to submit it the OH project and meet the project standards and requirements which is not always something all developers want to do.

You can install it from the Addon-Store under automation.
It is somewhat old the version in the addonstore, so I recommend cloning the repo and building it yourself.

mvn clean install

you’ll need git, java and maven.

Otherwise I’ll release a new version to the store shortly.

There is a new version in the store, so you could test that one out if you like.

Thanks
