[SOLVED] Get/Set Item State and imports when used in libraries

[lukics (Slaviša Lukić)]

I am looking around the forum for about an hour but was not able to get the solution that works.

What import do I have to declare and what is the syntax to retrieve and set item state?

Thanks in advance

I am looking around the forum for about an hour

The official documentaion help any?

Items

rules?

Rules

[lukics (Slaviša Lukić)]

Sorry was not precise enough, thought the tag would do it:
context is JSR223 and Jython

@lukics

context is JSR223 and Jython

Sorry, I missed the code you tried. We help you but you need to put forth some effort too.

Item Defs

Dimmer testGU10L "Test Lamp L [%d %%]"  { channel="hue:0100:00212E00C488:6:brightness" } 
Dimmer testGU10M "Test Lamp M [%d %%]"  { channel="hue:0100:00212E00C488:2:brightness" } 

Rule for putting item state to log every 10sec (does not resolve “items”

This script uses a decorated cron rule that will generate logs every 10s and can be used to test your initial setup.


from core.rules import rule
from core.triggers import when
from core.log import logging, LOG_PREFIX
log = logging.getLogger(LOG_PREFIX + ".this.is.my.log")

@rule("Jython Hello World (cron decorators)", description="This is an example cron triggered rule using decorators", tags=["Test tag", "Hello World"])# description and tags are optional
@when("Time cron 0/10 * * * * ?")
def hello_world_cron_decorators(event):
    log.info("Hello World to log")
    log.info(items["testGU10L"])

[lukics (Slaviša Lukić)]

the doc :https://openhab-scripters.github.io/openhab-helper-libraries/Guides/But%20How%20Do%20I.html#items

states:

items["My_Item"]
# or after importing anything within the ``core`` package
items.My_Item
# or
ir.getItem("My_Item").state

neither works (does not resolve “items”

[Bruce_Osborne]

@5iver any ideas?

[mjcumming (Michael Cumming)]

would you show us the exact error you are getting in the console?

[5iver (Scott Rushworth)]

I agree with Michael… what is the error that is being logged? The examples in the documentation definitely all work !

I also noticed that what you posted looks to be an older version of the hello_world.py example script. When was the last time you upgraded the helper libraries? The easiest would be to use the beta Jython bundle…

[beta testers wanted!] Jython addon w/ helper libraries (requires OH 2.5.x)

I just submitted a PR that adds a core feature for a JythonScriptEngineFactory and it would be great to have some testers! Basically, this will allow for the installation of Jython including the core and community helper libraries through Paper UI, once the PR is merged. If you’d like to test it, you’ll need to… Have OH 2.5.x (S1778) or newer Shutdown OH Backup OH Download the addon and copy to $OPENHAB_HOME/addons/ (see here for more details). The jar contains the core and community helper l…

The easiest would be to use the beta Jython bundle…

I am running OH in docker and using cont-init.d for initializing/downloading helper and jython (see below). This was convenient for me, though seems to be outdated.

I will go for the new way and beta test.
I have a question:
I have added pyyaml to my installation:

sudo pip install --upgrade --target=/datavol/openhab-2.5.1/openhab_conf/automation/lib/python 'pyyaml==3.10'

Any idea how do I add the pyyaml support once I change the EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS?

Remove everything about Jython except the python.path.

What you reported as an error is only a warning from pylint in VSCode. It sounds like you still do nt have your pylintrc setup properly.

I have done a new clean install of helper libraries and used the new bundle.
Now everything works as expected in my hello world code. I had a mess in my installtion.

Thanks for support

Unfortunately, I still have an issue when I want to access “items” in a helper library and not in the class with decoration.

What import do I need in my library module in order to resolve the “items”?

I imported

from core.jsr223.scope import events, items

seems to work now

items is included in the default script scope. There is nothing that you need to import to access this in a script. To access items in a module, like you are doing, you will need to import it into the module like this…

from core.jsr223.scope import items

Same as here…

[SOLVED] Global name 'events' is not defined in <script>

Making my first steps in js223 and jython. I have following test setup (nothing productive just a toggle of a switch item): in lib/python/personal/myLib.py def turnOFF(itm): from core.log import logging, LOG_PREFIX log = logging.getLogger(LOG_PREFIX + ".this.is.my.log") log.info("timer fired") events.sendCommand(itm,"OFF") return None in jsr223/personal/testTimer.py from threading import Timer from core.log import logging, LOG_PREFIX from personal.myLib import myLog, …

Sorry, it just got into my mind that I had a similar issue with events, I dug it out and finally found the solution the same time you replied back. It was so long ago I made my first try to migrate to new rules.

Thank you again for your support, it is amazing!
