[SOLVED] Thermostat Morning Routine | send.command

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

(Plattform Information above)

Hi,
I’m still a newbie but I’m trying to learn.
I would like to set up a morning routine with the new Rule AddOn but I need some help with it.
I already looked through the documentation and forum but nothing really helped me.

What I want:

On Weekdays:
Every Evening the Thermostat Mode should change to “Sleep”.
At 6 a clock in the morning the thermostat mode should be set to “Emergency Heating” or 30 Degrees.
And at 7 a clock in the morning the Thermostat Mode should be set to “Auto” or 19 Degrees.

On the Weekend:
Every evening the Thermostat Mode should change to “Sleep”
At 9 a clock the Thermostat mode should be set to “Auto” or 19 Degrees.

Now I tried to define my Items with a list copied from the Internet. I don’t know if they really make sense or if I can use them. But I think that I would need those:

With this one I can change my temperature (I censored out the ZigBee Adress):

Number Temperature_Setpoint “Temperature [%.1f °C]” { channel=“zigbee:device:myzigbeeadressthermostatoccupiedheating” }

A Setpoint (I think I don’t need this one):

Setpoint item=Temperature_Setpoint minValue=16 maxValue=28 step=0.5

Now I’m missing the one to change the Thermostat Mode.

Setting up a thermostat in OpenHab is unfortunately quite hard for beginners since there are not so many documentation/tutorials about them.

These are the available channels I have:

My Problem / Question

Now in the new Rule AddOn, you can define Rules using a user interface which makes it easy for beginners (at least I hope so :slight_smile: )

I tried defining the rule myself but I have trouble defining the “then” clause.
If I understood that correctly, then I have to use the “send a command” option to change the state of an item, correct?

But what command do I have to use to change the temperature or the mode of the Thermostat?
Do I have to define commands?

I hope I don’t ask for too much.
I’m trying to learn so I can do it my self in the future.
Hopefully, somebody can help me.

Thank you very much,

Joshua

My Plattform:
Raspberry Pi Zero
OS: Newest raspbian buster build and openHAB manually installed; I’m not using the prebuild image from OpenHab
openHAB version: 2.5.0.M5
Thermostat: Eurotronic Spirit Zigbee Thermostat
Coordinator: CC2531 Stick

Also:
I have manually installed OpenHAB. Now I’m missing the Log Viewer. Does anybody know how to install the Log Viewer Interface / GUI? :slightly_smiling_face:

After the “then” is where whatever you want to happen. You can use conditions in this section to make sure a certain condition is met before the command is executed.

Example:

var tempFlag = 0  

rule "temperature"
when
   Item temp01 changed
then
    if(temp01.state < 3) {
        if (tempFlag == 0) {  
            sendtelegram("bot1", "Information ...")
            tempFlag = 1  
    } else if (tempFlag == 1) { 
        tempFlag = 0 
    }
end

This rule will send a message once when threashold is reached and reset the flag.

See this link to help with “if” and “else if” and other conditional statement info. JavaScript if else else if

OP is using the PaperUI defined Rules, not Rules DSL.
