Location getLocation()

getTemperatureScale

Gets the current temperature scale set for the hub.

Signature
String getTemperatureScale()
Parameters
none
Returns
String - "F" or "C" based on the setting in the hub.

now

Signature
long now()

timeOfDayIsBetween

Check if a date is between two dates.

Signature
boolean timeOfDayIsBetween(Date start, Date stop, Date value[, TimeZone timeZone])

Parameters:

start - The date to start comparison against.
stop - The date to stop comparison against.
value - The date to compare
timezone - (Optional) The timezone to use for the comparison


Returns:

true if the value date is between the start and stop dates, otherwise returns false.


unschedule

Remove any scheduled tasks. If method is called without paramters, all schedules will be removed.

Signature: 

void unschedule()
void unschedule(handlerMethod)

Parameters:

handlerMethod - Only remove schedules for this handlerMethod


asynchttpGet

Send an http GET request and return control to the calling code. Any response from the call will be passed to the callback method.

Signature: 

void asynchttpGet(callbackMethod, Map params, Map data = null)

Parameters:

callbackMethod - The name of a callback method to send the response to. Can be null if the response can be ignored.
params - the parameters to use to build the http GET call. Possible values:
uri - The uri to send the request to
queryString - The raw, already-escaped query string.
query - Add these parameters to the existing query string. If any of the parameters already exist in the query, these values will not replace them. Multiple values for the same query parameter may be added by putting them in a list.
headers - Request headers
path - The path component of this request. The value may be absolute or relative to the current path.
contentType - The content-type used for any data in the request body, as well as the Accept content-type that will be used for parsing the response.
requestContentType - Assign a different content-type for the request than is expected for the response.
timeout (since 2.0.9) - timeout in seconds for the request, max timeout is 300
data - optional data to be passed to the callback method.

asynchttpPost

Signature: 

void asynchttpPost(String callbackMethod = null, Map params, Map data = null)

Parameters:

callbackMethod - The name of a callback method to send the response to. Can be null if the response can be ignored.
params - the parameters to use to build the http GET call. Possible values:
uri - The uri to send the request to
queryString - The raw, already-escaped query string.
query - Add these parameters to the existing query string. If any of the parameters already exist in the query, these values will not replace them. Multiple values for the same query parameter may be added by putting them in a list.

requestContentType - Assign a different content-type for the request than is expected for the response.
body - The request body
timeout (since 2.0.9) - timeout in seconds for the request, max timeout is 300
data - optional data to be passed to the callback method.

Parameters:

uri - The full uri to send the request to.
params - the parameters to use to build the http GET call. Possible values:

runInMillis

Signature
void runInMillis(Long delayInMilliSeconds, String handlerMethod, Map options = null)
Parameters
delayInMilliseconds - How long to wait until the handler should be called, don't expect that it will be called in exactly that time.
handlerMethod - the name of a handler method in your driver or app. The method name should not contain parentheses.
options - a Map of optional parameters. If you specify [data: 'Some value'] then 'Some value' will be passed to your handler method. You can pass lists, maps etc. as a data parameter.
Example
    private processQueue(Map queue) {
      if (isQueueEmpty(queue)) {
          sendEvent name: 'lifxdiscovery', value: 'complete'
          return
      }
      def data = getNext(queue)
      sendPacket data.ipAddress, data.packet
