Debounce [4.0.0.0;5.9.9.9]

$OH_CONF/automation/js remained empty, obviously due to the add-on parameter “Cache Library Injection” set to ON.

That’s expected but not for that reason. You’ll only see something there if you put it there either by editing files there (file based rules) or install libraries using npm.

@andyzle

In my understanding the openHAB Javascript Library needed for the Debounce solution is therefore cached, but available in my OH4 installation.

That is correct. The JS Scripting add-on comes with the openhab-js library and therefore it does not need to be installed separately.

@andyzle

Does the openHAB Rules Tools will work properly with the cached version of the openHAB Javascript Library or do I have to install both locally in $OH_CONF/automation/js with help of npm (Node.js package manager)?

Yes, it works with the cached add-on version of the library for OH 4.1 forward. You do not need to install openhab-js using npm. You only need to install openhab-rules-tools via npm.

Note, if you are using openHABian, you can install OHRT through openhabian-config. Otherwise follow the instructions you can find at openHAB Rules Tools Announcements (i.e. sudo -u openhab npm i openhab_rules_tools).
