Thing Status

[mjcumming (Michael Cumming)]

Has anyone written a rule that monitors that status of all Things, and keeps a list of Things that are not online? I am thinking of a generic rule that any OH user could use, not monitoring specific things. I would use this list for the Main UI.

Check out Rich’s rule template. That sounds like what you’re after.

Thing Status Reporting [4.0.0.0;4.9.9.9]

[logo] A rule that triggers when a Thing changes its status and calls a user defined rule with the Thing and information about the Thing. The conditions of the called script are enforced so events can be filtered there (e.g. only process changes from ONLINE to some other status). The following properties are passed to the called rule: Property Contents thingID The UID of the Thing that changed status oldStatus The status the Thing was in before the change oldDetail Some Thing stat…

configuration: {}

  - id: "1"
    label: When ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent is raised
    configuration:
      topic: openhab/things/**
      types: ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent
      source: ""
      payload: ""
    type: core.GenericEventTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    label: execute a given script
    configuration:
      type: application/javascript
      script: >
        console.log("Rule: ThingStatusOfflineEvent.
        Item:",event.thingUID.toString(),".
        Value:",event.statusInfo.toString());

        var offlineItem = event.thingUID.toString().replaceAll(":","_").replaceAll("-", "_") + "_offline";
        if (event.statusInfo.toString() == 'ONLINE') {
          items.getItem(offlineItem).sendCommand('OFF');
        } else {
          items.getItem(offlineItem).sendCommand('ON');
        }
    type: script.ScriptAction

It requires an item for each thing wih the following syntax:

ThingUID_offline

where the ThingUIDs’ colons „:“ need to be replace by underscore „_“

This requires OH4. If you are on v3, very few changes need to be done

An of course the corresponding HABApp Rule

System which has offline things reaches start level of 70. Once all things are online it will reach 100 (speaking here about default configuration).
