Hi,
coming from OH2.5 the rule dont work. Can some1 help me?

rule “Präsenzmelder Büro Licht an”

when

Item EG_Buero_Praesenz changed from OFF to ON

then

if (Tag_Nacht.state==ON  && (now.getHour() >= 16 && now.getHour() <= 20 )){

  EG_Arbeitszimmer.sendCommand(ON)

}

end

I think i need to replace the now.getHour but how?

Thanks in advance and BR

I do not think that this is the problem as I also have rules running in OH3 which work perfectly with now.getHour(), for example this one which switches on a dimmer light with different dimming levels depending on the time (low light level betwenn 9pm to 7am:

//Regel Licht Eingang ON
rule "EX_EING_D1_ON"
when
	Item EX_EING_D1 received command ON
then
				if (now.getHour() >= 21  || now.getHour() <= 7  )
     		{
			SW_EING_D1.sendCommand(ON)	 
     		DI_EING_D1.sendCommand(15)
     		} 
     		else
     		{
			SW_EING_D1.sendCommand(ON)		 
     		DI_EING_D1.sendCommand(60)
     		}    		  		   		   	
end

So I assume there must be something else in your rule which causes problems. Could you post the complete rule? And also the error message from the log?
