I wrote a DSL rule and noticed the following couple issues. State is not import org.openhab.core.types.State By default, State seems to resolve to a non-openHab class that doesn’t even have a toString object: 2020-10-26 22:11:34.744 [ERROR] [internal.handler.ScriptActionHandler] - Script execution…

In case triggeringItem was working in OH2 and no more in OH3, a git issue has to be declared. I will test it myself. I can already confirm that some of the other implicit variables are working as before.

DSL is unsophisticated, does have limitations, there are relatively recent features like newState that may have flaws. Regard it as a legacy rule system for OH3 … you may be wasting your time here. It’s also quite cumbersome (for example in the code I pasted below, my function can’t call the invo…

Yes, everything in DSL in the “global” context (actually only global within this rules file) cannot “see” other global objects… So when you call function X from a rule, and it needs to use function Y, you must pass a reference to that in the call. Oh thanks for that explanation. That also means I…

[image] Frenchman: I wish one could write things like this as simple extensions, say in JavaScript or whatever that could then be used by the whole framework. Yes, others are ahead of you. This one of the reasons that OH3 has a new rule engine and the jython implementation features libraries…

Yes, others are ahead of you. I am sure! openHAB is pretty impressive. Okay, let’s work on [the notion of multiple taps]. What are you trying to achieve? Ignore how you think of going about it. What’s the starting point here? You are receiving trigger events from a binding, or state updates t…

Alright, I have to guess that this technology updates Item to ON when pressed and updates to OFF when released. They do not all work like that. // global timer var Timer buttonTimer = null rule "detect press" when Item myButton changed to ON then logInfo("test", "button pressed, don't know…

It’s not really clear if this is in connection with newState? or someItem.state?
A rule fragment may help.

You’ve already got a thread on that

There is currently no github issue for this, maybe you should raise one.
