states

Given Clean OpenHAB with latest Ruby Libraries
And items:
type name label state
Switch Switch1 Switch Number One OFF
Switch Switch2 Switch Number Two OFF

type	name	label	state
Switch	Switch1	Switch Number One	OFF
Switch	Switch2	Switch Number Two	OFF

States can be stored and restored using store_states

Given code in a rules file:

states = store_states Switch1, Switch2
Switch1 << ON
after(5.seconds) { states.restore }

When I deploy the rule
Then "Switch1" should be in state "ON" within 2 seconds
But If I wait 5 seconds
Then "Switch1" should be in state "OFF" within 2 seconds

States can be stored and restored using store_states block

Given code in a rules file:

store_states Switch1, Switch2 do
  Switch1 << ON
  sleep 5
end

When I start deploying the rule
Then "Switch1" should be in state "ON" within 2 seconds
But If I wait 5 seconds
Then "Switch1" should be in state "OFF" within 2 seconds

Check item states

Given code in a rules file:

Switch1.update <state>
sleep 0.5
logger.info "All items have a valid state: #{state? Switch1, Switch2}"

When I start deploying the rule
Then It should log "All items have a valid state: <result>" within 3 seconds

Examples:

state	result
ON	true
UNDEF	false
NULL	false

Check item states before executing a rule

Given code in a rules file:

Switch1.update <state>
sleep 0.5
rule 'state check' do
  on_start
  only_if { state? Switch1, Switch2 }
  run { logger.info "All items have a valid state: true" }
  otherwise { logger.info "All items have a valid state: false" }
end

When I deploy the rule
Then It should log "All items have a valid state: <result>" within 3 seconds

Examples:

state	result
ON	true
UNDEF	false
NULL	false

Check item states and their thing status

Given feature 'openhab-binding-astro' installed
And things:
id thing_uid label config status
home astro:sun Astro Sun Data {"geolocation":"0,0"} <state>
And items:
type name
Number Sun_Elevation
And linked:
item channel
Sun_Elevation astro:sun:home:position#elevation

id	thing_uid	label	config	status
home	astro:sun	Astro Sun Data	{"geolocation":"0,0"}	<state>

type	name
Number	Sun_Elevation

item	channel
Sun_Elevation	astro:sun:home:position#elevation

And a rule:

Sun_Elevation.update 0
sleep 0.2
logger.info "Sun_Elevation is valid? #{state? Sun_Elevation, things: true}"

When I deploy the rule
Then It should log "Sun_Elevation is valid? <result>" within 5 seconds

Examples:

state	result
enable	true
disable	false
