[SOLVED] Problem restoring Switch item from influxdb

Add-ons Persistence Services
12

Just to give a detailed example of an implementation of Workaround 1 in the doc.
(remember to install the expire binding)
.items

Switch vPersistRestoreTimer { expire="15s,command=OFF" }

.rules

rule "System start"
when
        System started
then 
    logInfo("System", "System started (or a rule changed)");    
    vPersistRestoreTimer.sendCommand(ON) // start timer
end

rule "vPersistRestoreTimer expired"
when
     Item vPersistRestoreTimer received command OFF 
then
    logInfo("System", "vPersistRestoreTimer expired")
    HouseGuests.postUpdate(if (HouseGuests.previousState().state==ON) ON else OFF)
end

And finally I want to advertise for the Member of feature, that really makes the handling of grouped items a breeze. For instance, if you want to log and handle events from a group of Switches:

.items

Group:Switch groupSwitches
Switch All                        (groupSwitches) 
Switch AllLR                      (groupSwitches)
Switch AllDR                      (groupSwitches)
Switch AllK                       (groupSwitches)

.rules

rule 'groupSwitches changes'
when Member of groupSwitches received command OFF or
     Member of groupSwitches received command ON
then
    logInfo("groupSwitches", triggeringItem.name + " State=" + triggeringItem.state)

    switch(triggeringItem.name) {
        case "All": {
            sendCommand(lights, if (All.state==ON) ON else OFF);
        }
        case "AllLR": {
            sendCommand(livingRoom, if (AllLR.state==ON) ON else OFF);
            AllLR.state = if (AllLR.state==ON) ON else OFF;
        }
        case "AllDR": {
            sendCommand(diningRoom, if (AllDR.state==ON) ON else OFF);
            AllDR.state = if (AllDR.state==ON) ON else OFF;
        }
        case "AllK": {
            sendCommand(kitchen, if (AllK.state==ON) ON else OFF);
            AllK.state = if (AllK.state==ON) ON else OFF;
        }
    }
end

This can really cut down on the number of rules :slight_smile:
