Hi All

I have the following rule which is working perfectly as far as I can tell, however Visual Studio does not like it - and it was not flagged as an issue when I set it up last week?

rule "Battery Voltage Changed"
when
    Item ShellyUNIshellyunie8db84d6b3e510163199230_VoltageADC changed
then
    var DateTimeType upsBattUpdatedPrevious = (ShellyUNI_Battery_Updated.state as DateTimeType).getZonedDateTime()
    var upsBattUpdatedNew = new DateTimeType()
    var Number upsBattUpdatedDifference = Duration.between(upsBattUpdatedPrevious, ZonedDateTime.now()).toSeconds()
    ShellyUNI_Battery_Updated.postUpdate(upsBattUpdatedNew)
    ShellyUNI_Voltage_Update_Diff.postUpdate(upsBattUpdatedDifference)
    logDebug("shelly_uni", "Battery Status Updated " + " Previous: " + upsBattUpdatedPrevious + " New: " + upsBattUpdatedNew + " Difference: " + upsBattUpdatedDifference + " seconds.")
end

Error from VS:

The rules seems to be working:

14:54:52.950 [DEBUG] [.openhab.core.model.script.shelly_uni] - Battery Status Updated  Previous: 2021-10-11T14:54:49.114048600+02:00 New: 2021-10-11T14:54:52.950374900+0200 Difference: 3 seconds.

Any suggestions or advise?

You asked for a ZonedDateTime but then try to coerce it to DateTimeType. DSL says no, ignores your coercion.
Just leave it out.

Thank you once again.

Working

ar upsBattUpdatedPrevious = (ShellyUNI_Battery_Updated.state as DateTimeType).getZonedDateTime()
