Multiple offsets for Astro plugin?

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
, ,
1

I would like to open my rollershutter 30 min before sunrise. I can see that I can offset the event, but I ALSO want the possibility of triggering something to exact sunrise, so I would like to have event channels with different offsets.

What is the way to go there? I don’t see a custom field for the channel name in the docs. Should/Can I define another thing astro:sun:home_30_45 for channel offsets like 30 min before sunrise and 45 minutes after sunset?

Yes, that is the solution most users are realizing.
Just create the new thing with the “Add manually” button in PaperUI or use text files …

Thanks. I just decided, though, that I want all that stuff configurable, so I’ll write a more complicated ruleset in the spirit of https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/openhab/F2hqVwjbRC0/b1s44_MWGygJ

That is what the astro binding is doing … :grinning:

Well, I mean via sitemaps. Can I set an “earliest” time for a channel via sitemap?

Never tried that, don’t think so. But you can set that via PaperUI.

There are additional alarm clock examples here. They are OH 1 rules but should work with only minor modifications.

I set this up now:

var Timer LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter_Set_Timer  = null

then
	var DateTime civilDawnTime = (new DateTime((LE_CivilDawn_Time.state as DateTimeType).calendar.timeInMillis)).plusMinutes((LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter_Rise_Offset.state as DecimalType).intValue)

    var DateTime riseTime = null;
    if (minRiseTime.isAfter(civilDawnTime)) {
    	riseTime = minRiseTime;
	} else {
    	riseTime = civilDawnTime;
    }

    if (LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter_Rise_Timer != null)
    	LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter_Rise_Timer.cancel();
    	
	logInfo("Rollershutter","Timer for UP: "+riseTime)	
	postUpdate(LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter_RiseTime,new DateTimeType(riseTime.toCalendar(null)))
    if (now.isBefore(riseTime))
    {
		LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter_Rise_Timer = createTimer(riseTime) [| 
	            LE_Groundfloor_Livingroom_Gardendoor_Shutter.sendCommand(UP)
	        ]
	}        
end

    }

end

end

Opens and closes my rollershutters at dusk and dawn, with earliest times from the sitemap, and closes them if the door is locked during the closed period. (Opening is done in the controller, for escape route security purposes.) According to the log, it should work.
