Rule on date and time

---

i want to turn a heating on at 07-03-2016 17:00
But i cant get it working. Tried
Its mar 07-16
its monday 17:00
Its 2016-03-07 17:00

as far as i know you cannot use dates in rules. please correct me if i am wrong.
you can do it with a workaround. create a date device with a shellsensor.

{
  "id": "system-date",
  "name": "System Date",
  "class": "ShellSensor",
  "attributeName": "date",
  "attributeType": "string",
  "attributeUnit": "",
  "command": "date +%d-%m-%Y",
  "interval": 60000
},

then you should be able to compare the date in rules like IF $system-date = 16-03-2016 THEN do some stuff...

Now even this doesn’t work??

if its 17:00 then X

I get:

error [pimatic]: typeof p.changeListener is "function"

Ah okay, something very weird is happening. I also get that error when i delete the rule?

Strange thing! Try to delete the rule from the config.json

If it is true that rules on date only be able with this workararound of a ShellSensor a new feature request should be created.

This is working:

its "07-03-2016 16:00" then X
