Hello,
Happy user of openhab2 here!
Using openhab for over a year and controlling my heating, curtains, lights and some sockets with it.
What I also like todo is creating ‘Fun’ functions like a chronometer, a timer and 8 ball for everyday use.
But currently running out of ideas. Anyone got some more ideas?
@Jo_C
can you please provide us your code example. I’m interested in the part how you have implemented the remaining time item.
Hello hello,
I share my code, but please be advised it really bad written. It was like a draft Rule I created for both the chrono and the timer. I need to rewrite it, but didn’t come to it yet
It has the following problems
SITEMAP:
Frame label="Timer" {
Switch label="Timer" item=Timer1 mappings=[3="3 MIN",5="5 MIN",10="10 MIN"] icon=hourglass
Text label="Timer Resterende tijd" item=Timer1Countdown visibility=[Timer1Countdown!= "0:00"] valuecolor=["blue"] icon=hourglass
Switch label="Timer" item=Timer1 mappings=[30="30 MIN",60="60 MIN",reset="RESET"] icon=hourglass
}
Frame label="Chronometer" {
Switch label="Chronometer" item=Chrono1State mappings=["START"="START","STOP"="STOP","RESET"="RESET"] icon=chrono
Text label="Tijd actief" item=Chrono1String visibility=[Chrono1 != "0"] valuecolor=["blue"] icon=chrono
}
ITEMS:
String Timer1 "0:00"
String Timer1Countdown "[%s]"
Number Chrono1
String Chrono1String "[%s]"
String Chrono1State
RULES
import java.util.*;
import java.util.List
**Rule Timer**
rule Timer1
when Item Timer1 changed
then
var int timersecs
var cmd = Timer1.state.toString
if (cmd == "reset") {
timersecs = 0
Timer1Countdown.postUpdate("0:00")
//DO SOMETHING HERE
} else {
timersecs = (Integer::parseInt(cmd))*60
logInfo("TimerM",timersecs.toString)
var int timerM = 0
var int timerS = timersecs
while ((timersecs > 0) && (Timer1.state.toString == cmd)) {
timerM = 0
timerS = timersecs
while (timerS > 59) {
timerM = timerM + 1
timerS = timerS - 60
}
var String strMin
var String strSec
if (timerM < 10) {
strMin = "0" + timerM.toString
} else {
strMin = timerM.toString
}
if (timerS < 10) {
strSec = "0" + timerS.toString
} else {
strSec = timerS.toString
}
var String timeString = strMin + ":" + strSec
//logInfo("TEST",timeString)
timersecs=timersecs-1
Timer1Countdown.postUpdate(timeString)
Thread::sleep(1000)
}
Timer1.postUpdate(NULL) //hides the remaning time item from the sitemap
}
end
Rule Chronometer
rule "Chrono1"
when Item Chrono1State changed
then
if (Chrono1.state == NULL) {
Chrono1.postUpdate(0)
}
if (Chrono1State.state == "START") {
while(Chrono1State.state == "START") {
var int elapsed = Integer::parseInt(Chrono1.state.toString())
Chrono1.postUpdate(elapsed+1)
var int h
var int m
var int s
while (elapsed > 0) {
if (elapsed >= 3600 ) {
h=h+1
elapsed=elapsed-3600
} else if (elapsed >= 60) {
m=m+1
elapsed=elapsed-60
} else {
s = elapsed
elapsed=0
}
}
var String timeString = String.format("%1$02d:%2$02d:%3$02d",h,m,s)
Chrono1String.postUpdate(timeString)
Thread::sleep(1000)
}
} else if (Chrono1State.state == "RESET") {
Chrono1.postUpdate(0)
Chrono1State.postUpdate("STOP")
}
Hopes that shines some light on the functionality.
Have a great day !
For the ‘8 Ball’ Code that just random answersly “yes” or “no” (but it’s in dutch, because that’s my native language)
Sitemap
Frame label="8 Ball" {
Switch item=Random label="Willekeurig" mappings=["again"="Doediszot"] visibility=[RandomResult==""] icon=magic
Text item=RandomResult label="Het antwoord op je vraag is " visibility=[RandomResult!=""] valuecolor=["JA!"="green","Neen"="red"] icon=magic
}
ITEMS
String Random
String RandomResult "[%s]"
RULES
rule _random
when
Item Random received command
then
var int RandomNR = (new java.util.Random).nextInt(1001)
if (RandomNR%2 == 0) { //if even number
RandomResult.postUpdate("JA!") //yes
} else {
RandomResult.postUpdate("Neen") //no
}
//hide the ResultRandom Text item on sitemap after 5 seconds of display.
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5), [|
RandomResult.postUpdate("")
])
end
have a good one !
I also added a Lotto Generator that help me pick Lottery game numbers
If created for the Belgian Lotto but it can easily be adapted
Sitemap
Frame label="Lotto Generator" {
Switch item=LottoState label="Lotto Nummers" mappings=[ON="Pick!"] icon=magic
Text item=Lotto valuecolor=["blue"] visibility=[Lotto!=""] icon=lotto
}
ITEMS
String Lotto "Winnende nummers [%s]" //winning numbers
Switch LottoState
RULES
import java.util.*;
import java.util.List
rule _lotto
when
Item LottoState received command
then
//There are 45 lotto numbers
// each game is 6 numbers
//lotto nrs based on https://www.nationale-loterij.be/onze-spelen/lotto/statistieken from best to worse
//last upadted 3/11/2018
val int[] theLottoNumbers = newArrayList(7,12,16,24,38,22,5,25,28,14,17,33,9,3,13,36,27,2,4,18,19,21,10,29,20,31,1,40,23,6,26,32,35,11,34,37,39,8,41,42,30,15,43,45,44)
//create result arraylist
val List<Integer> result = newArrayList()
//last number in theLottoNumbers to use
var int lastgoodnr = 16
//Pick random nrs and add to result array
while (result.size() < 6) {
var int i = (new java.util.Random).nextInt(lastgoodnr+1)
var int currentNR = theLottoNumbers.get(i)
if (result.size > 0 ) {
if (result.contains(currentNR)) {
//logInfo("Lotto Generator","Duplicate number: " + currentNR.toString())
} else {
result.add(currentNR)
}
} else {
result.add(currentNR)
}
}
//sort the result array
Collections.sort(result)
//add array to string and format string to show always 2 decimals
var String strResult = String.format("%1$02d %2$02d %3$02d %4$02d %5$02d %6$02d",result.get(0),result.get(1),result.get(2),result.get(3),result.get(4),result.get(5))
logInfo("Lotto Generator","Generated Lotto Numbers: " + strResult)
//Show the generated numbers in sitemap
Lotto.postUpdate(strResult)
//hide result after 2 minutes, possible not ideal, because it creates a timer everytime.
createTimer(now.plusMinutes(2), [|
Lotto.postUpdate("")
])
Thanks for sharing,
It’s always interesting to see different code for unusual problems
Just today I was dealing with a rule generating random number and you have a more efficient syntax
It doesn’t matter there is some good stuff in there
Thanks again
For me (on OH 2.4) it is only working if I change it to:
while(Chrono1State.state.toString == "START")
{
var int elapsed = Integer::parseInt(Chrono1.state.toString())
This is not needed:
import java.util.*;
import java.util.List
