Hi, I am new to OpenHabian and Automation Systems. I am trying to implement an automation system that will switch on the lights based on local time. I am using Raspberry Pi3B with 4 Relay Board. Till now I am able to setup the openHabian 2 on my Raspberry and able to turn Relays On or Off using t…

You don’t provide a lot of specifics so: Textual Rules | openHAB Astro - Bindings | openHAB CalDAV Personal - Bindings | openHAB Design Pattern: Simple State Machine (e.g. Time Of Day)

Thanks for the links. I went through them and gained some knowledge about Actions and Rules. I then explored Rule Engine Experimental and able to configure the timers. However, the event is now triggering at specific time (which I set in rule). Is there any way I can check a time range and based …

Note the “Experimental” in the ERE. The ERE is a work in progress, has almost no documentation, and almost no one is using it yet. So the answer to your question is :man_shrugging: A key thing to understand about Rules, whether they are ERE or Rules DSL, is that they are event driven. They run whe…

Thanks for the reply sir. As of now I have configured the rules like what you specified. However, let’s say due to some power failure (common in my country India) the server restarts after my configured time of 2PM and not turning GPIO High again. I can understand that the Rule Engine is in exper…

[image] ashish81sharma: As I am totally new to Linux and Raspberry, is it possible to get Step by Step guide on how to write scripts, where we need to save the files, how to configure the files in Open Hab, etc. For RPI with OH installed via apt-get (openhabian image) the file are located at …

Thanks to all for helping me out. Finally, I accepted that Experimental rules do not serves my purpose (at-least as of now). So, I have written the scripts to achieve what I requested originally. I will post my scripts here once those are in stable state later this week end.

Thank you. This gives me some idea on the file structure of OpenHabian. I am able to write my rules now and execute them as required. These rules do not display in REE but as far as those as working I am fine with them. :slight_smile:
