[WIP] Ephemeris Documentation

Currently I use Caldav for this

vzorglub · November 1, 2019, 10:35pm

Me too, I thought that would be a good alternative though

rlkoshak · November 12, 2019, 5:35pm

I’ve created the PR.

Please add any further comments and edits there.

How to use holiday_descriptions.properties ?

/Mike

RipNCode · December 22, 2019, 12:35am

@mashborn Did you ever get the xml file to be found? I’m running into the same issue on OH 2.5 stable (openhabian).

Marian_Kilinski · December 23, 2019, 5:23pm

use

getHolidayDescription(holiday name)

Jollyday defines a mapping between the holiday name and a description. This will return the description based on the holiday name returned by getBankHolidayName

Hi @jcosta46,

Unfortunately exactly the isBankHoliday(<offset>, <file>) action is broken in OH 2.5.x and will probably not working before OH 3.0 - even if it is already fixed in our code base (see https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/issues/1374).

A small workaround is to use isBankHoliday(<datetime>, <file>) and set ZonedDateTime.now().plusDays(<offset>) for <datetime>.

I think we should add a note to the docs.

frankie.delure · February 25, 2020, 7:59pm

I added this to my ephemeris.cfg

org.openhab.ephemeris:dayset-weekend = [SATURDAY,SUNDAY]
org.openhab.ephemeris:dayset-school = [MONDAY,TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,THURSDAY,FRIDAY]
org.openhab.ephemeris:country = [DE]

This is how my config looks under PaperUI:

I have no idea how to fix this. Whatever I do either in PaperUi or in ephemeris.cfg - the result is broken like in the screenshot.

jcosta46 · February 25, 2020, 11:12pm

thanks
could you help me
val filename = “Ephemeris”

rule "Ephemeris started rule"

when 

 Item TestEphemeris changed

then

      var Number datetime = ZonedDateTime.now().plusDays(1)

      var file = "/etc/openhab2/services/Holidays_gr.xml"

   if (Ephemeris.isBankHoliday(datetime,file) ) {

      logInfo(filename,"February 25") // not working

   }

   if ( Ephemeris.isBankHoliday(1,"/etc/openhab2/services/Holidays_gr.xml") ) {

      logInfo(filename,"February 26") //  not working

   }

   if (!isWeekend(5)) {

   logInfo(filename,"Ημέρα της εβδομάδας") // OK

   }

   if (isWeekend(4)) {

   logInfo(filename,"Αύριο είναι το Σαββατοκύριακο")  // OK

   }

   if (isInDayset("school",0))// deytera me paraskeuh 

   {

   logInfo(filename,"Υπάρχει σχολείο σήμερα") // OK 

   }

end

I don’t know how to write it.

I get that

2020-02-26 01:11:48.292 [ERROR] [ntime.internal.engine.RuleEngineImpl] - Rule 'Ephemeris started rule': The name 'ZonedDateTime' cannot be resolved to an item or type; line 61, column 29, length 13

rlkoshak · February 26, 2020, 3:40pm

Try

new DateTimeType().zonedDateTime.now().plusDays(1)

jcosta46 · February 27, 2020, 1:42am

thanks
but I couldn’t make it work
i have tried this

val filename = "Ephemeris"

      var datetime = new DateTimeType().zonedDateTime.now().plusDays(1)

      var file = "/etc/openhab2/services/Holidays_gr.xml"

rlkoshak · February 27, 2020, 3:52pm

Errors in the log?

jcosta46 · February 27, 2020, 10:28pm

@rlkoshak nothing Errors in the log
I had to do
sudo systemctl restart openhab2.service
now it works
thanks

Hi all,
I’m trying to lookup some “holiday” with proper translation, but fail and hope you can advise or help

Unfortunately I have no idea how to debug further as it’s my names are simply not looked up.
My entry in *.xml
<tns:FixedWeekdayRelativeToFixed which="FIRST" weekday="SUNDAY" when="BEFORE" descriptionPropertiesKey="FOURTH_ADVENT" localizedType="OFFICIAL_HOLIDAY"> <tns:day month="DECEMBER" day="25"/> </tns:FixedWeekdayRelativeToFixed>
Entry to holiday_descriptions_de.properties
holiday.description.FOURTH_ADVENT = 4. Advent
This seems to be equal to the other entries.

So FOURTH_ADVENT is returned properly when using
logInfo("Test", "Vierter {}", Ephemeris.getBankHolidayName((new DateTimeType("2021-12-2019").zonedDateTime), '<myPath>/holidays_de.xml'))

But I didn’t get value from
logInfo("Test", "vorher: {} und nachher: {}", Ephemeris.getBankHolidayName((new DateTimeType("2020-12-20").zonedDateTime), '<myPath>/holidays_de.xml'), Ephemeris.getHolidayDescription(Ephemeris.getBankHolidayName((new DateTimeType("2020-12-20").zonedDateTime), '<myPathY/holidays_de.xml')))

Returns

20:27:42.667 [INFO ] [g.eclipse.smarthome.model.script.Test] - vorher: FOURTH_ADVENT und nachher: undefined

Hope this helps?

new DateTimeType().zonedDateTime.now().plusDays(1)

works fine - thank you!

Could you please also correct the documentation at
(https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/actions.html#ephemeris)
It still says
…This action is broken in OH 2.5.x. Use getNextBankHoliday(, ) instead by replacing with ZonedDateTime.now().plusDays()

sihui · November 16, 2020, 12:01pm

It’s easy, just click on the link at the bottom of the page, this is a community driven project.

Thanks for the hint - done

INT5749 · January 18, 2021, 7:48am

Hi all,

I have just migrated to openHAB 3.1.0 Snapshop, but still have issue to get personal SpecialDays translated properly (Reported here while on OH2.x)

I have added my special days to holiday_descriptions_de.properties which is stored along with the other xml in services folder. Special days added to specialdays.xml are reconized, just not translated properly :-/

Does anyone have same issue on OH3?

Regards
Joerg

A question about daysets:
For me, the trash is only emptied every second Monday.

Is it possible to specify in ephemeris.cfg that dayset-trash applies only every second Monday?
