JavaScript Scripting

My JavaScript tools are at openhab-js-tools. This npm module also provides numerous JavaScript rules, see openhab-js-tools : JSDoc.

You may also have a look at rkoshak/openhab-rules-tools.

To access the old NashornJS tools, head over to the nashorn-js-libs branch.

Widgets

My custom widget set for the openHAB MainUI (introduced with the 3.0 Release). Feel free to use and/or modify my widgets, just keep a copyright notice.

Please note that those widgets are written for openHAB 3.4 or newer and might not work properly on older versions.

Custom CSS for Pages

To make all openHAB Cards look like my widgets, add this style section to the config block of your layout page:

  style:
    --f7-card-border-radius: var(--f7-card-expandable-border-radius)
    --f7-card-box-shaddow: 5px 5px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)
    --f7-card-margin-horizontal: 5px
    --f7-card-padding: 0px
    --f7-card-header-font-size: 17px
    --f7-card-header-font-weight: 400

Widget Styling

Height

The CSS style height attribute usually varies between these three sizes:

  • 120px for normal-sized widgets
  • 150px for large widgets with much content and controls
  • 130px for the room card, which is not combined with other cards on one page

Colors

For colors, I usually use the Material Design color palette. I choose colors from the 400 or the 600 series. For the light mode I take the normal color or the dark color variation, for dark mode the light color variation.

Which color pairs do I use for which color?

  • Green: (themeOptions.dark === 'dark' ? '#76d275' : '#00701a')
  • Yellow: (themeOptions.dark === 'dark' ? '#ffff6b' : '#c5a600')
  • Orange: (themeOptions.dark === 'dark' ? '#ffbc45' : '#c25e00')
  • Red: (themeOptions.dark === 'dark' ? '#e53735' : '#ab000d')
  • openHAB orange: var(—-f7-theme-color)

These color pairs are all from color series 600.

Icons

Most icons are from Framework7. Sometimes, openHAB icons are used, e.g. for state representation.

Framework7 icons normally use these sizes:

  • small icon (with small text, e.g. upper left corner): 18
  • standard icon (with standard text): 20

openHAB icons' size varies.

Text

Text size and weight follows these guidelines:

  • small text (e.g. upper left corner): font-size: 12px
  • standard text: no extra settings
  • small title (used at the top of the card): font-size: 12px
  • header text (used at card heading, state representation etc.): font-size: 24px & font-weight: 400
    • subheader text: font-size: 14px

Line wrap and overflow are usually configured with the following CSS style attributes:

overflow: hidden
text-overflow: ellipsis
white-space: nowrap

Switch Widget

For switching lights, outlets etc. I prefer to use a super simple card Apple Home App like card:

This card depends on my Custom CSS for Pages, paste this code into a layout page under the slots->default section:

              - component: oh-grid-col
                config:
                  width: "50"
                  xsmall: "33"
                  medium: "25"
                  large: "20"
                  xlarge: "15"
                slots:
                  default:
                    - component: oh-label-card
                      config:
                        action: toggle
                        actionItem: Item
                        actionCommand: ON
                        actionCommandAlt: OFF
                        label: Lightbulb
                        icon: "=items.Item.state === 'ON' ? 'f7:lightbulb' :
                          'f7:lightbulb_slash'"
                        vertical: true
                        iconColor: "=items.Item.state === 'ON' ? 'yellow' : ''"
                        iconSize: 40

Custom Widget Template

Scripts

Scripts for the openhab-conf/scripts folder.

Shaddow

This script was originally written by @pmpkk at openhab-habpanel-theme-matrix. I only modified it to work with Python 3 and the new InfluxDB 2.x.

shaddow.py generates a .svg image to illustrate where the sun is currently positioned, which site of the house is facing the sun and where the shaddow of your house is. I added the position of the moon to the image.

Please look at this guide.

Custom Loggers

openHAB is using log4j2 as logger library, which allows the user to add custom loggers for writing into separate log files.

You can create a custom logger by using the following scheme in $openhab-userdata/etc/log4j2.xml:

In the Appenders section:

		<!— KNX appender (custom) —>
		<RollingFile fileName="${sys:openhab.logdir}/knx.log" filePattern="${sys:openhab.logdir}/knx.log.%i.gz" name="KNX">
			<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5.5p] [%-36.36c] - %m%n"/>
			<Policies>
				<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="16 MB"/>
			</Policies>
			<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="7"/>
		</RollingFile>

In the Loggers section:

		<!— Custom loggers —>
		<!— KNX logger —>
		<Logger additivity="false" level="DEBUG" name="org.openhab.logging.knx">
			<AppenderRef ref="KNX"/>
		</Logger>

Because of an issue in Apache Karaf, make sure that the last logger is a <Logger ...>. This means, you should not add your custom loggers to the end of the Loggers section, but rather to the beginning. For more details see the corresponding openHAB Core issue.

To use this custom logger in JS Scripting, set the according logger name, e.g.:

// @ts-ignore
console.loggerName = 'org.openhab.logging.knx';
