Signature
Location getLocation()

getSunriseAndSunset

Returns the sunset and sunrise values for the current day. (Common method since 2.1.0)
Signature
Map getSunriseAndSunset()
Map getSunriseAndSunset(Map options)
Parameters
options - Map with optional offset for sunrise or sunset, possible values are sunriseOffset and sunsetOffset and can either be a number of minutes or a String of the format Hours:Minutes
Returns
Map with with key values 'sunrise' and 'sunset' of type Date
Examples
// get today's sunrise and sunset
def riseAndSet = getSunriseAndSunset()
log.debug riseAndSet.sunrise
log.debug riseAndSet.sunset

// get sunrise time offset by 1 minute early, and get sunset offset by 1 hour, 5 minutes later

getTemperatureScale

Get 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
boolean - 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

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.

void httpGet(Map params, Closure closure)
Parameters
uri - The full uri to send the request to.
params - the parameters to use to build the http GET call. Possible values:

runIn

Signature
void runIn(Long delayInSeconds, String handlerMethod, Map options = null)
Parameters
delayInSeconds - How long to wait in seconds 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 - Optional values to control the scheduling of this method
overwrite - defaults to true which cancels the previous scheduled running of the handler method and schedules new, if set to false this will create a duplicate schedule.
data - optional data to be passed to the handler method.
misfire - If set to "ignore" then the scheduler will simply try to fire it as soon as it can. NOTE: if a schduler uses this instruction, and it has missed several of its scheduled firings, then several rapid firings may occur as the scheduler attempts to catch back up to where it would have been.

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 - Optional values to control the scheduling of this method
overwrite - defaults to true which cancels the previous scheduled running of the handler method and schedules new, if set to false this will create a duplicate schedule.
data - optional data to be passed to the handler method.

Example
    private processQueue(Map queue) {

          return
      }
      def data = getNext(queue)
