After latest hubitat upgrade, some of my rules started to fail and I am not able to even open those anymore. Error I get is:
Error: Unparseable date: "2021-11-25T13:32:00+0000"
Is date now somehow corrupted in new version because in this rule I am fetcing Hubitat sunrise and sunset times to variables
Is the issue you are having with the use of Date variable? If so, This might apply.
From the release notes:
Notice about Rule Machine
There was a bug reported and fixed concerning triggers using Hub Variables. If you have any such rules, please open the Rule Machine parent app, and just hit Done. This will update those rules. If you don't do this, and had Variable triggers, they will disappear from your rules
Can you tell me just how you came up with this? What set that variable? It is an invalid time string as far as Hub Variables is concerned. So whatever created that time string needs to be fixed. When I set a DateTime variable to Sunset, I get a valid time string for today's sunset, hence my question.
Time string is coming from system. I am just using system variables sunset and sunrise to set values for variables, like:
And what it comes to release note about rule machine, I did not noticed that one before. But I am not using variables as triggers.
I don't follow. It looks like you're just setting SunRiseVariable to a fixed time of 9:01 AM. What "system variables" are you referring to?
Setting a variable to sunrise time looks like this:
it was earlier like you wrote. But in oder to be able to run the rule I needed to change system variable to fixed time. And If I set system variable "sunrise time" there instead of fixed time, I will get the error I pasted when trying to open rule again.
That's odd, I'm not getting this. Are you on latest build, and Rule 5.1? Or is this a bug in an older rule?
To be clear, following is not working:
I do not know if there are any easy ways to migrate old rules to new 5.1.
No there isn't. You'd just have to rewrite the rule. But, in the meantime I will take a look at fixing that in 4.1, and protecting better against an error.
other strange thing is that rule 4.1 is showing times in 12 hour format despite I have 24h format in use for Hub.
The sunrise issue will be fixed in the next release.
and also sunset I believe? Many thanks!
Yes, both.
Many thanks, now it is working again.
