Summer and Winter-Time

---

Good Evening,

i’ve searched in the Forum but didn’t find something…
Is there any possibility to insert a button or a variable to see the Summer- and Wintertime in the GUI?
Thank You

You can do this yourself.
Create a Buttons Device what sets a variable and this variable fires a rule.
Or smarter make a rule that sets summer and winter by a temperatur sensor or the calender.

Thanks for the answer.

If I knew where to get the time change, the rest is not difficult, but unfortunately it fails because of where to get these times.

Just type “date” in the comandline, that gives you CET or CEST.

pi@jessie:~/pimatic-app$ date
Do 23. Nov 20:42:54 CET 2017

OK thanks.

and how can I get CET or CEST in pimatic?
With a shell sensor? Day / month / year and time is not a problem but the CET or CEST?

Yes, use a ShellSensor

    {
      "id": "timezone",
      "name": "TimeZone",
      "class": "ShellSensor",
      "attributeName": "datetime",
      "attributeType": "string",
      "attributeUnit": "",
      "command": "sudo bash /home/pi/getDate.sh",
      "interval": 5000
    }

create the corresponding getDate.sh file with this content:

#!/bin/bash
printf "%s\n" "$(date +'%Z')"

Thank you

I have solved it a little easier for me now:
I created a shell sensor device and have entered the following command:

date +%Z

now i get only CET or CEST and include that in the appropriate rules.

Thank you for your help!
