Timer Question - plusMillis in Openhab 3

[np123]

Hello,

In Openhab 2 I used my now.plusMillis(…) to create timers in my rules. I understand that Openhab 3 uses Java Time and the plusMillis(…) is not working anymore. How to I achive to run a command in 250 Milliseconds from now? What I want to achieve is to stop the rollershutter after a quater of a second.

createTimer(now.plusMillis(250))[ |rollo.sendCommand(STOP) ] obviously does not work anymore.

createTimer(now.plusSeconds(0.250))[ |rollo.sendCommand(STOP) ] also does not work.

Thank you very much for a hint…

Regards,

DateTime Conversion (openHAB 3.x)

Thought I would share this as my upgrade to OH3 broke all my timers that used " now.plusMillis ". I wasn’t able to find a function that would use milliseconds as OH2 did but I was ok with using seconds. I converted everything from milliseconds to seconds and in a way it makes it easier to read and calculate. If you need to get the fractional seconds, you can use plusNanos instead… I essentially went from this that would now present me with an error in VSS rule "Test plusSeconds" when …

Is createTimer not working in OH3? Or is it user error?

Take a look at the methods of ZonedDateTime (now() in OH3 is a ZonedDateTime)… createTimer(now.plusNanos(2000000)), [| logInfo("Hello", "World!") ])

I used the method plusNanos(): https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/ZonedDateTime.html#plusNanos-long-

// duration in Nanoseconds
var Long duration = 250000000

var Timer t = createTimer(now.plusNanos(duration), [|
            logInfo("Created Timer","Timer finished. Sending command: " + cmd)
            sendCommand(myItemName, commandToSend)
        ])

Note: I copied the code snipped from above from my Lambda function. Please be aware, that the used variables myItemName and cmd are locally defined as val to be possible to pass them into the lambda function!
