writing own functions
Hey everybody,
I was wondering where the best place to store own functions is.
For example the variable functions (random(), round(), avg(),…) are stored inside /pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic/.js/lib/variables.js. When I wanna add functions to use in variables and rules where is the best place to store and implement them? I should not touch the above file, since it is “core” and it gets overwritten everytime pimatic is updating.
Thanks,
fletcher
if the functions are not specific and could be an improvement for other users, why not fork and create a pull request? so your changes will be implemented into the pimatic core.

@leader21 Thanks for your quick response again! I know my questions can be a pain in the ass. 
I would be happy to get myself involved, but I don’t really know if it is useful for the masses. 
Maybe you can help me to decide. Or you have a more simple way to archeive this.
I use variables that contain time values as decimals (e.g 22.8333 for 22:50). Depending on these values I wanna switch on or off my lights AND use them for calculations.
But to use these time decimals in a rule like IF it is $time_decimal THEN do something they need to be in a time format.
Long story short: I need a simple function to convert decimals into time format.
@fletcher In, my opinion, it may also be useful for other users. You may also need a function to round time values, e.g., hh
ss to rounded to hh:mm

Well if you consider it useful I will do this. But I actually have no idea how to implement it into the plugin nor how to write cs. I have to read into it first.
