Android alarm and openHAB2

[cru (Fabian Mordhorst)]

OK, I found the misstake…
the item hast to be of number type and not DateTime.

But can eventually someone tell me how to convert the time which is given in ms into an normal Time/date fomat to show it in my sitemap and/or HABPanel?

Date alarm = new Date((long)timeStamp);

Android alarm and openHAB2

I don’t actually convert the timestamp back, but try something like that: Date alarm = new Date((long)timeStamp*1000); https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3371326/java-date-from-unix-timestamp

@EKa

Date alarm = new Date((long)timeStamp)

Can you please tell me how to use it? Im really pretty new to OH and try to learn .

My solution would be to create a new Item with DateTime as type called “AlarmClockDT”.
Also I would create a rule that would look something like this:

rule "Alarm convert"
when 
AlarmClock changed
//Rule gets triggerd when AlarmClock is changed by the app
then
AlarmClockDT.setCommand(Date = new Date((long)AlarmClock))
end

Everytime the App sends a new time to the Item AlarmClock the rule will update the Item AlarmClockDT with the converted value.
The Item AlarmClockDT can than be used in a sitemap or HAB Panel, correct?

I found a multitool for detecting events on the phone, i.e. alarms and sent it over to openHAB using MQTT as protocol. Maybe a bit technical solution but simple in design and works for all kind of alarm-apps.

Broadcast to MQTT

With this app you will be able to forward selected broadcast intents to a MQTT broker. This can be used to keep track of certain events on you Android device. An example application is to send the broadcast intent of your alarm clock to your home automation system to create a wake-up light...
