Problems with Rule since update to OH3 (DateTime cannot be resolved to a type)

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hello everyone,

i’ve managed to update to OH3 and got it slowly working besides of some RULE errors i got. Here is my example of one RULE

val ruleForLichtDiele = 60 * 5 // 5 minutes
var Timer alarmReminderTimer = null
var DateTime LichtLastON = null
val telegramAction = getActions("telegram","telegram:telegramBot:OpenHAB_Herbert_Bot")



rule "Send Reminder for Licht - An"

when
Item Tasmota_Diele_Switch changed to ON
then

if (alarmReminderTimer === null) {
	LichtLastON = now;
	logInfo("LichtDieleCheck-isOn", "LichtDiele ON @ " + LichtLastON.toString("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss") +
			" . Will check if still On in " + ruleForLichtDiele + " seconds."
	);
	
	alarmReminderTimer = createTimer(now.plusSeconds(ruleForLichtDiele), [|
		// Check every X seconds if OPEN
		
		// LichtDiele is still On
		if  (Tasmota_Diele_Switch.state == ON) {
			sendBroadcastNotification("Warning: LichtDiele remained On since " + LichtLastON.toString("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss") );
			
			
			alarmReminderTimer.reschedule(now.plusSeconds(ruleForLichtDiele));	
			logInfo("LichtDieleCheck-isOn","LichtDiele still On after " + ruleForLichtDiele + " seconds. Sending reminder.");
            telegramAction.sendTelegram("Herbert","Licht Diele ist an seit " + LichtLastON.toString("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss") )


		}
		// LichtDiele is still closed now			
		else {
			if (alarmReminderTimer !== null) {
				alarmReminderTimer.cancel();
			}
				
			alarmReminderTimer = null				
		}
         
	]);
} else {
	alarmReminderTimer.reschedule(now.plusSeconds(ruleForLichtDiele))
}
end

i got this errors in VSCode

and this in log after triggering RULE

2020-12-28 20:19:37.623 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Validation issues found in configuration model 'Alarm_licht.rules', using it anyway:

The field Tmp_Alarm_lichtRules.LichtLastON refers to the missing type Object

The field Tmp_Alarm_lichtRules.LichtLastON refers to the missing type Object

The field Tmp_Alarm_lichtRules.LichtLastON refers to the missing type Object

The field Tmp_Alarm_lichtRules.LichtLastON refers to the missing type Object

it has something to do with

 var DateTime LichtLastON = null

i’ve tried to search for a Solution but got no luck.

I use this version on other rules too and got issues there too.

Please advise.

PS: I’ll run OH3 in Docker on a RPi4 2GB and managing it with Portainer

Did you read DateTime Conversion (openHAB 3.x) ???

Read…but cant figure out how to implement it for my example as i dont know coding so well

4

You set LichtLastOn = now. DateTimeType is not used anymore, so you should have LichtLastOn the same Type like now.

5

sorry…i’m kinda burned out right now. Can you please make the correction in my code so i can figure it out.

I’m struggeling with the same thing :frowning: …

Any update and/or example code for this?

From the op of my head:

Try changing “DateTime” to “DateTimeType”

and

“now” to “now.toInstant()”

Hope this helps!
