Timeline picker to setup heating, light and so on

Yes in the new version v4 tlp v4 you can see that all data is stored in metadata but i will not backport this in v3. This would be a complete rework. v4 is not production ready. There are a lot to do in design of 1min switching. Can you contribute?

Unfortunately not sorry … @tose can you point me to the line where you changed the saving mechanism…

tose · September 18, 2025, 5:46pm

What a line
You find everything in the src folder. ohHelperController.js is a good point to start. Note, it’s much more than a line.

I use this excellent timeline picker on my v4.1 system, I’m going to upgrade to v5.0 and then to v5.1 when it’s released. Does this timeline picker work on v5.0?

Yes it works but I am waiting for the v4 to get finished:)

I just upgraded to OH5. It looks as if the time where the tlp actually switches is off by an hour (it switches an hour later than what is configured in the UI). I thimk this is due to a timezone issue as i am on gmt+1. Did anyone else have this issue?

Something changed in the OH5 core as I also had to rework some rules to make them observe the local timezone, so i suspect tlp might have a similar issue with OH5.

yes, i had also observed this behaviour. It was not releadted to the timeline picker. When you want to check this, type date in a console. of your OH server and you will see the wrong time.

Perhaps check the java enviroment variable.

Yes, i had the machine timezone set to utc rather than cet/gmt+1, and this caused the offset. I thought that setting the timezone in the admin ui would be enough, but i actually had to change the timezone on the os level.

I’m trying to install TLP V4 into an openhab 5.1 installation, but the installation instructions seem to be incomplete.

But in the V4 branch i can’t seem to find the fileRNTs-tlp3.js, and also don’t understand what is meant by ‘info must be updated !!!’. As for the TLP folder, does this need to be in the conf folder, or conf/html?

You are using the wrong brunch. In the OP ist the right link. Version 4 ist not finished.

After finishing the installation you must manual substitute two time ‘DateTimeItem’ through ‘DateTime’.

tose:

@milo You must substitute 2 times ‘DateTimeItem’ through ‘DateTime’ in the file RNTs-tlp3.js - line 148 and line 154
file location: conf-openHAB/automation/js

const sunriseItem = items.getItem(tlpThing["configuration"]["sunriseItem"])
const sunsetItem = items.getItem(tlpThing["configuration"]["sunsetItem"])
let sunrise_ms = null, sunset_ms = null

// substitue here !!!
if ((sunriseItem !== null) && (sunriseItem.type === 'DateTimeItem')) {
  sunrise_ms = (new Date(sunriseItem.state)).getTime() + (channel_conf["sunriseOffset"] ??= 0) * 60 * 60000
} else {
  skip = true
  console.warn('tlp - W003: defined item for sunrise is wrong | id= ' +  id)
} 
// substizue here !!!
if ((sunsetItem !== null) && (sunsetItem.type === 'DateTimeItem')) {
  sunset_ms = (new Date(sunsetItem.state)).getTime() + (channel_conf["sunsetOffset"] ??= 0) * 60 * 60000
} else {
....

@tose good point to finalize version 4?

tose · April 15, 2026, 7:25am

@milo I’ve already answered your questions. Don’t ping me.
