Calculating Circular Mean for Wind Direction - JS Script

[glen_m]

Wow - Thanks so much. That is so much easier to follow.

I think I will look to get my system to 5.1M4 when that comes out shortly, and then set aside some time to fully test it on there

You cannot expect the state of an Item to reach its new state immediately after having commanded it. That takes some time and happens in the background.

Yeah - I should have known that!! I picked up that issue when I was trying to write some completely bogus (but kinda working) code to turn the target position, into timed relay actuation’s for the linear motor, and kept on running into that issue (And that was between runs of the code), so I started using the cache instead (Not applicable here, as we just using in the same execution run of the script). That was before I found out it was a complete waste of time, as there was pre-existing functionality in OpenHAB, which put my code in the bin

Greenhouse Vents - Linear Actuator Control Rules

I know this is probably already an XY problem, but would be super-stoked if someone could identify an alternate (and much easier) approach to solving this problem than the route I am currently taking. Or if not, perhaps some tips on the behemoth code I am trying to write to solve this issue. Background I have a greenhouse with 4 vents currently actuated by ‘Wax’ Self Openers (just temp based - no electrics) I want to replace the 2 northern vents with Electrically controlled vents, so they…

Make sure all your if/else if/else statements line up with each other. The original code kept increasing the indentation for each else if at the same level.

Good tip - I’m not a developer in my day job (I probably didn’t need to tell you that, I’m sure you already figured that one out with once glance at my code!!) , so slightly a fish out of water here. But any feedback like this on coding standards are appreciated

@rlkoshak

I still don’t understand why there’s a * 2 / 2. That seems redundant.

I was struggling to come up with a meaningful answer, which didn’t make me look like a complete idiot. Couldn’t really find a good one!! I think I was trying to round it to 0.5 increments and found an article which suggested this. Probably not the same article, but similar context:

Thanks again
