ReentrantLock with Timer

[shorty707]

@rlkoshak

If you need the lock to remain locked for that time you need to either unlock it as the last thing your timer does (probably not a good idea) or add a Thread::sleep(45000) to the finally just before the lock.unlock().

sorry picking up this old topic.
but with the new behaviour from the below topic I have the exact problem that Ican not use thread sleep and still want a specific rule to sleep for some minutes and not reexecute. as I read here reentrant lock + timer seems not recommended aswell

Current OH2 Build and Thread::sleep() stops ALL rule execution?

Hi, since many many months I use “Thread::sleep(180000)” in one of my rules. This worked find until now … but in one of the last builds there seems to be a different behaviour. Now the whole rule engine seems to “sleep” for that time. Before it was only that single rule that executed the sleep (even if 2 or more rules where in 1 file it affected only that specific rule and not all of them). Can anyone shed light on me? cheers
