Hello, many of uf first of later will try to implement a PIR based light for his home. With openhab 3 enviromet rule engine is quite simple… you decide the triggers elements, the conditions of trigghering and a very little script like the following to execute: sendCommand(Light_Power, ON) create…

I’m not a le to understand how to work with rules without global variable like timers. Any help? Thanks a lot

I would use expire binding on a textual item in OH2 and is included in OH 3 as a metadata variable something like expire=“200ms,command=OFF” on an OH2 item add as metadata in OH3 - click Add Metadata - choose expiration timer This way once the time is up it will do the command eg off. If it i…

Hello, Ok, but is also possible to expire with timer only after certain hour of the day? Maybe did not understand well the feature. If I add metadata expire to a switch it will switch off after some time right?

Hello Muplex, I know what you mean. I used this feature very often in OH2. I had a special switch for this. Example: Kids wake up in the night. Then I make ligth on for 30 minutes, all go to bed. OH will switch it off. But on the evening I don’t want it. For OH3 I have no solution at the moment to…

Exactly Proliferation of “dummy switches” is not smart and efficient at all as rule management in my opinion. I hope OH staff take in consider these big laks and will implement something in next release… My rule now is not the same as before without global and timer variable… Thanks for reply

What is it you were trying to do?

[image] Muplex: I’m not able to run the same rule as previous openhab 2. You can still run text file rules in OH3. Then you can use you global timers.

But I have to copy only the “body” inside a script like these 1) [1] Or copying the same rule of OH2 and paste here ? 2) [2]

[image] Muplex: Or copying the same rule of OH2 and paste here ? That :backhand_index_pointing_up:t2: You can use the same folders as OH2.

I’m trying from days to run a one with these method… no luck I adapt getHourofDay to getHour but no luck and other adaptation/migration stuff find in the forum but the rule with globals var does not trigger at all
