[SOLVED] First Advanced Rule - EnOcean rocker switch / roller shutter / hue

[carmagician (Matthias)]

@fruggy83

Press => move, release => stop independent of time between press and release

This is correct!

@fruggy83

Do you want to do this on different roller shutters or on the same?

No. There is no need to do this. These switches have SwitchA and SwitchB, as there are no more than to roller shutters per room. I will assign only one shutter to one switch.

@rossko57

When first pressed, start shutter moving to fully (open/closed)
If button released with a short time, do nothing else.
If button released after a longer time, stop the shutter.

This could be a possibility, but if i measure the time doesn’t that mean the roller shutter will only move after the button is released?

You can measure time, start or stop things, just as you please. You write the rules to suit. Try it and see, that costs nothing.

Hi,
I am new to OH3 and just playing with the same szenarios. I have OH3 on a Raspberry, Fibaro RS3s, Eltako and similar (PEHA) enocean switches, and outside blinds. So far, everything inluding lamella control works just fine (after figuring out how to get the enocean things to work).

Now I have some basic rules to control the blinds. Essentially these are based on reacting to the DIRx_PRESSED and DIRx_RELEASED events triggered by the enocean buttons.

But what I can’ figure out is how to get the state (not the position) of my blinds, so that I can create rules that e.g. send an UP command when a blind is not moving (which state is that?), but a STOP commmand in case the blind is currently moving for the same button pressed.

And one, probably really stupid, question: I can’t find out how I can write these nice advanced rules with varibales etc. in OH3? All I can do in OH3 is use the UX to “click together” a rule, and view (adapt?) it in the code tab.

You can’t from the basic RollerShutter Item, only position.
Your device may supply the moving/stopped info separately, that you could link to another partner Item. But most do not.

Usually the best you can do is guess, because of the device limitations. There’s more than one way to do that.

At simplest, set something to “running” at every up/down/position command and set it back to “stopped” after a fixed time that allows for the longest possible movement.
If a STOP command arrives, cancel timer and set “stopped” immediately.
That can be refined by using current position (if available) when a command arrives to calculate a variable maximum run time.

You’re probably looking for the UI rule action to be a script.

[OH3] How to 'create new' Rule DSL in OH3 UI?

On the screen with the rules list, click on the blue “+” button in the lower-right corner, give an ID and a name, then click “Add action”, pick “execute a given script”, choose “Rule DSL” as the language then you can write your script the same way you would in the “then” section of a rule in .rules file. Add a trigger if needed and click Save. Currently this will get back to the rules list (but it will probably be changed). If you need to continue editing the rule again, click on it then on th…
