Check item if between now and lastupdate is less than 2 minutes

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

Hi everybody

I’m trying to build a rule that contains a ZoneX that is currently opened and a ZoneY that as been opened/closed (updated) less than 2 minutes. Is it possible to do that with persistence?

Thanks
Jose

You can’t create a rule trigger like that. But you can check whether an Item was updated within the last 2 minutes using:

ZoneY.lastUpdated.after(new java.util.Date(now.minusMinutes(2).millis))

This will return true if ZoneY was updated two minutes or less ago, false if updated more than 2 minutes ago.

Thanks for your help and i will try it this evening and let you know.

Hi
It gives me an error:
The name ‘.lastUpdated’ cannot be resolved to an item or type.

Zone4.lastUpdated.after(new java.util.Date(now.minusMinutes(2).millis))

Thanks for your help!

Hi

Changed to Zone5.lastUpdate.after(new java.util.Date(now.minusMinutes(2).millis)) and it seems to work. Will do follow up after

Thanks

I am getting this error message in SmartHome Designer:
The method after(Date) is undefined for the type AbstractInstant

when using lastUpdate like this:
if(!Presence_Num.lastUpdate.after(new java.util.Date(now.minusMinutes(30).millis))) {

What could be wrong?

EDIT:
Never mind:
I am using now:
if(!Presence_Num.updatedSince(now.minusMinutes(60),"jdbc")) {
