OH 4.3.0 release
Trying to build a simple timer in Blockly using contextual info to make the script more generic.
I prefer to stay with the standard blocks whenever possible.
Unsuccessful:
I can’t get it working with the standard timer block → ReferenceError: “event” is not defined

I can get it working with a timer block from this library.
Comparing the 2 blocks:
It seems as if the context cannot be set to “event” in the standard block - actually nothing changes to the code whatever config I try. The code remains unchanged as follows:
function (timer_context)
With the custom block it works.
function (event)
Here is the full code:
var scriptExecution = Java.type('org.openhab.core.model.script.actions.ScriptExecution');
var zdt = Java.type('java.time.ZonedDateTime');
console.info('Rule fired ...');
console.info(event.itemName);
if (cache.private.exists('MyTimer') === false || cache.private.get('MyTimer').hasTerminated()) {
cache.private.put('MyTimer', actions.ScriptExecution.createTimer('MyTimer', time.ZonedDateTime.now().plusSeconds(10), function (timer_context) {
items.getItem(event.itemName).sendCommand('OFF');
}, (timer_context)));
} else {
cache.private.remove('MyTimer').cancel();
};
if (typeof this.timers === 'undefined') {
this.timers = [];
}
if (typeof this.timers['MyTimer'] === 'undefined' || this.timers['MyTimer'].hasTerminated()) {
this.timers['MyTimer'] = scriptExecution.createTimerWithArgument(zdt.now().plusSeconds(10),event, function (event) {
items.getItem(event.itemName).sendCommand('OFF');
})
} else {
this.timers['MyTimer'].cancel();
this.timers['MyTimer'] = undefined;
}
Is there a way to pass the event variable to the standard timer block?
