openHAB Schedule Type

This repository contains example code making it possible to define things Schedule type within openHAB framework. Notice type of the Channel (below "Weekly schedule") and event in console with formatted text and non-core type.

Bill of materials:

1. api - the TypeAndStateParser interface interfered from openHAB Core TypeParser utility class.

2. core - replacement of openHAB core which allows handling of new types. It swaps original TypeParser to DefaultTypeParser with version backed by TypeParserDelegate. additionally it solves troubles with ItemEventFactory cause it rely on hardcoded types.

3. schedule - binding utilizing (and providing) custom types:

• ListType - a variable length container structure
• PairType- tuple of two types, a pair
• TimeType - basic time of the day structure representing a LocalTime
• ScheduleType - list of 7 lists with time-command pairs representing 7 days and commands to be executed at given this time.

The schedule module brings couple of more elements:

1. ScheduleItem
2. ScheduleItemFactory
3. ScheduleTypeAndStateParser

Above are necessary to actually provide necessary inputs for framework. There is not yet DTO and mapping, yet it does not blow up entire system.

This code was mostly developed in late 2018 without a major discussion behind. It was working with Eclipse SmartHome and been ported now (January 2020) to also work with openhab-core.

Installation

Build this code and then install api module in runtime.

install file:/home/splatch/projects/openhab-schedule/api/target/api-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Then determine openhab core bundle id:

openhab> la -s|grep org.openhab.core
133 x Active   x  80 x 2.5.0                  x org.openhab.core

and replace it with provisioned core,

update 133 file:/home/splatch/projects/openhab-schedule/core/target/core-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Finally install schedule type and sample binding:

install file:/home/splatch/projects/openhab-schedule/schedule/target/schedule-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
