My light sensor reports illuminance in lux.
In javascript, these log statements
logger.info("currentIlluminance: {}", currentIlluminance);
logger.info(typeof currentIlluminance);
produce this output
currentIlluminance: 2969.0 lx
object
How can I compare the illuminance to a value in javascipt?
In Rules DSL I had a number defined to compare it to the current illuminance:
val Number OpenCloseThreshold = 50000|lx
Is there something similar in javascript?
rossko57 wrote a good article about QuantityTypes using the example of ‘temperatures’
Working with Number:Temperature Items in rules
After reading that article, I would assume that I have to write
var OpenCloseThreshold = 50000|lx;
in javascript.
But this gives the error
[internal.handler.ScriptActionHandler] - Script execution of rule with UID 'f0e7e83581' failed: ReferenceError: "lx" is not defined in <eval> at line number 5
edit: OK, the original post is about Rules DSL… I have to have a closer look of Rich’s explanation of the javascript stuff there…
edit2:
So I guess it should be
var OpenCloseThreshold = new QuantityType("50000 lx");
This doesn’t cause a compile error; have to wait if the comparison really works…
var OpenCloseThreshold = new QuantityType("50000 lx");
Works
