Execution of rule and return point

“Configuration model ‘pv.rules’ is either empty or cannot be parsed correctly!”

Are you accessing/saving your rules file over a Samba share? That could cause this error.

Configuration model 'default.rules' is either empty or cannot be parsed correctly!

i have the same, but it doesn’t affect anything. I think that while saving openhab detects the change of the rules file and tries to read it, because it is not fully saved correctly, it cannot be parsed correctly. Afterwards, openhab reads the complete file and anything is okay - no reason to worry about, or?

I have a similar rule that parses data, but I use grep for it. This approach should work even if the data format is inconsistent. Hopefully this doesn’t muddy things up worse for you!

rule "SBFspot"
when
	Time cron "0/15 * * * * ?"
then
	val String raw_output = executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/sbfspot.3/SBFspot -v -finq -nocsv -nosql",10000)
	//logInfo("SBFspot", "raw_output=[{}]", raw_output)
	val String V_EToday = executeCommandLine("/bin/sh@@-c@@grep \"EToday\" <<< \"" + raw_output + "\" | grep -oP '(\\d+\\.\\d+)(?!.*(?1))'",1000)
    logInfo("SBFspot", "V_EToday=[{}]", V_EToday)
    val String V_ETotal = executeCommandLine("/bin/sh@@-c@@grep \"ETotal\" <<< \"" + raw_output + "\" | grep -oP '(\\d+\\.\\d+)(?!.*(?1))'",1000)
    logInfo("SBFspot", "V_ETotal=[{}]", V_ETotal)
    val String V_EAct = executeCommandLine("/bin/sh@@-c@@grep \"Total Pac\" <<< \"" + raw_output + "\" | grep -oP '(\\d+\\.\\d+)(?!.*(?1))'",1000)
    logInfo("SBFspot", "V_EAct=[{}]", V_EAct)
    
	PV_EAct.postUpdate(V_EAct)
	PV_ETotal.postUpdate(V_ETotal)
	PV_EToday.postUpdate(V_EToday)
end
