Module: OpenHAB::Core::Types::Type

Included in:
Command, State
Defined in:
lib/openhab/core/types/type.rb

Overview

This is a parent interface for all States and Commands. It was introduced as many states can be commands at the same time and vice versa. E.g. a light can have the state ON or OFF and one can also send ON and OFF as commands to the device. This duality is captured by this marker interface and allows implementing classes to be both state and command at the same time.

      # this one is a bit odd. 50 (Integer) == ON is internally
      # flipping the argument and calling this method. but it responds
      # to coerce, and then raises a TypeError (from Float???) that
      # it couldn't convert to OnOffType. it probably should have
      # returned nil. catch it and return false instead
      return false

#eql?(other) ⇒ true, false

Check equality without type conversion

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    if the same value is represented, without type conversion
