homey-interval-manager

A lightweight TypeScript library for managing intervals in Homey Apps, Devices and Drivers. Simplifies the process of scheduling and managing recurring tasks within your Homey applications.

Features

• Easy interval management: Start, stop, and restart intervals with a simple API.
• Flexible configuration: Define intervals with custom functions, settings, and intervals.
• Automatic restarts: Optionally restart intervals when device settings change.
• TypeScript support: Provides type definitions for improved code clarity and maintainability.

Installation

npm install homey-interval-manager

Usage

1. Import the class:

import HomeyIntervalManager from "homey-interval-manager";

2. Create an instance:

// In your device class constructor:
this.intervalManager = new HomeyIntervalManager(
    this,
    {
        SOME_KEY: {
            functionName: "myFunction", // Name of the function to execute
            settingName: "mySetting", // Optional setting to watch for changes
            intervalSeconds: 300, // Optional interval in seconds (default: 600)
            disableAutoStart: false, // Optional, prevent auto-start on device init
        },
        SOME_OTHER_KEY: {
            functionName: "myOtherFunction", // Name of the function to execute
        },
        // ... more interval configurations ...
    },
    600,
); // defaults to 10 minutes if no interval or setting name provided

3. Start the intervals:

// Start all intervals (defined in the config)
await this.intervalManager.start();

// Or start specific intervals
await this.intervalManager.start("SOME_KEY", "SOME_OTHER_KEY");

4. Stop the intervals:

// Stop all intervals
await this.intervalManager.stop();

// Or stop a specific interval
await this.intervalManager.clearInterval("myInterval");

5. Restart intervals:

// Restart all intervals
await this.intervalManager.restart();

// Restart intervals associated with specific settings
await this.intervalManager.restart("mySetting");

Example

import OAuth2Device from "homey-oauth2app";
import HomeyIntervalManager from "homey-interval-manager";

class SomeCloudApiDevice extends OAuth2Device {
    private intervalManager: HomeyIntervalManager;

    async onOAuth2Init() {
        this.intervalManager = new HomeyIntervalManager(
            this,
            {
                STATUS_UPDATE: {
                    functionName: "syncStatusUpdate",
                    settingName: "status_update_polling_interval",
                },
            },
            600,
            true,
        );
        await this.intervalManager.start();
    }

    async syncStatusUpdate(): Promise<void> {
        const status = await this.get({ path: "/status" });
        await this.setCapabilityValue("device_status", status.name);
    }

    async onOAuth2Uninit() {
        await this.intervalManager.stop();
    }

    async onSettings({ oldSettings, newSettings, changedKeys }) {
        // perform your other tasks
        this.homey.setTimeout(async () => {
            await this.intervalManager.restart(...changedKeys);
        }, 1000);
    }
}
