HABApp: Problem retrigger a countdown timer

1

In OH4.3 i had some HABApp rules using countdown timers. Currently I’m migrating my rules to OH5.0 and HABApp 25.07.0. Those rules using Contdown timers won’t work anymore, they throw an exception, when I try to retrigger the countdown:

AttributeError: 'CountdownJobControl' object has no attribute 'countdown'. Did you mean: 'set_countdown'?

Here is a small rule to demonstrate:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-

import logging
import HABApp
from HABApp.core.items import Item
from HABApp.core.events import ValueUpdateEvent, ValueUpdateEventFilter

Log = logging.getLogger('MyRule')

class MyCountdownRule(HABApp.Rule):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self._Light = 1
        self._TimerHandle = self.run.countdown(2, self._SwitchRockerOff)
        self._TimerHandle.reset()
        Log.debug('Timer: {}'.format('started'))

    def _SwitchRockerOff(self):
        Log.debug('Timer: {}'.format('triggered'))
        if self._Light:
            Log.debug('Timer: {}'.format('re-triggered'))
            self._TimerHandle.countdown(2)               # <-- throws exception
            self._TimerHandle.reset()
            self._Light = 0
        else:
            Log.debug('Timer: {}'.format('triggered0'))
            self._Light = 0

MyCountdownRule = MyCountdownRule()

So my question is, how to use countdown timer correctly in HABApp 25+ especially, how to retrigger it?

After a bit of research :blush: , I found following solution:

Instead using this:

self._TimerHandle.countdown(2)

I can use this:

self._TimerHandle.set_countdown(2)

This works like expected. BTW: The error message suggested this solution already, but I did’t believe it :rofl:

I really love HABApp!

I guess you migrated from the old to the new scheduler.
It has gotten much more powerful, check out the docs and the examples
