So, I have a rule:
var Timer LeftHeatingTimer = null
var Timer LeftHeatingDelayTimer = null
var Timer LeftHeatingOffTimer = null
var int leftdelay
rule "LeftHeatingTimer"
when
Item LeftHeatingTimerSwitch changed to ON
then
logInfo("LeftCarHeating","Left heating triggered to run at " + LeftHeatingHours.state + ":" + LeftHeatingMinutes.state.format("%02d") + ".")
// calculate the alarm time [seconds]
var int leftalarm
leftalarm = (LeftHeatingHours.state as DecimalType).intValue * 3600 +
(LeftHeatingMinutes.state as DecimalType).intValue * 60
// get current time [seconds]
var int lefthour
lefthour = now.getSecondOfDay
// calculate the difference between the requested alarm time and
// current time (again in seconds). Note that the set time is the
// desired ending time and the evaluation is two hours (7200 seconds)
// earlier.
var int leftdelta
leftdelta = leftalarm - (lefthour + 7200)
// add one day (864000 seconds) if evaluation time for today already passed
if (lefthour > (leftalarm - 7200)) { leftdelta = leftdelta + 86400 }
LeftHeatingTimer = createTimer (now.plusSeconds(leftdelta)) [|
var temperature = Outdoor_Temperature.state
logInfo("LeftCarHeating","Temperature is " + temperature.format("%.1f") + " °C.")
if (temperature > 5.00) {
logInfo("LeftCarHeating","Temperature is over +5 °C, no heating necessary.")
sendCommand(LeftHeatingTimerSwitch, OFF)
}
else {
if (temperature => -20.00) {
leftdelay = (240 * temperature + 4800).intValue
logInfo("LeftCarHeating","Temperature is between -20 °C and +5 °C; leading to a delay of " + leftdelay + " seconds.")
LeftHeatingDelayTimer = createTimer (now.plusSeconds(leftdelay)) [|
sendCommand(LeftHeatingOn, ON)
LeftHeatingDelayTimer.cancel
]
}
else {
logInfo("CarHeating","Temperature below -20 °C, instantly starting heating.")
sendCommand(LeftHeatingOn, ON)
LeftHeatingOffTimer = createTimer (now.plusSeconds(7500)) [| // End time, add an additional 5 minutes.
logInfo("LeftCarHeat","Heating ending")
sendCommand(LeftHeatingOn, OFF)
sendCommand(LeftHeatingTimerSwitch, OFF)
LeftHeatingOffTimer.cancel
]
}
}
LeftHeatingTimer.cancel
]
end
that ends in disaster

Now it’s my guess that there’s a problem with the variable scope (hence the error that variable is null, if I interpret the error correctly). It seems to me that leftdelay can’t be calculated because inside the if (temperature => -20.00). I’ve tried all combinations I can think of, but I can’t get it to work.
Thankful for any help!
