Home position

Is it possible to get the value of

PaperUI->Configuration->System->Regional Settings->Location within a rule?

@5iver is reccomending JSR223

PaperUI Location - how to access?

There’s not much you can’t do with JSR223… from org.slf4j import Logger, LoggerFactory log = LoggerFactory.getLogger("org.eclipse.smarthome.model.script.Rules") from openhab import osgi LocationProvider = osgi.get_service("org.eclipse.smarthome.core.i18n.LocationProvider") log.debug("JSR223: Test [{}]".format(LocationProvider.getLocation()))

If you don’t want to use JSR223, you could set up a dummy Item and store the location data there.

I have to move my stuff over to JSR223 also… very powerful:

Check out the gpstracker binding. I didn’t see a direct way of accessing that but reading the example configs & playing with the possibilities should get you closer to your goal which probably isn’t the location itself but rather something like a distance from home.
