<h2 id="astro-binding">Astro Binding</h2>
<p>The Astro binding is used for calculating many <code class="highlighter-rouge">DateTime</code> and positional values for sun and moon and for scheduling of events.</p>
<p>There is also a binding specifically for openHAB 2 <a href="http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/astro/readme.html">here</a>.</p>
<h3 id="binding-configuration">Binding Configuration</h3>
<p>The binding can be configured in the file <code class="highlighter-rouge">services/astro.cfg</code>.</p>

<p><strong>offset</strong> (optional, taken into account for every DateTime property)
offset in minutes to the calculated time</p>
<p>You can bind a property to different item types, which has a special meaning in the binding. If you bind a DateTime property (start, end, …) to a DateTime Item, the DateTime is simply displayed. If you bind it to a Switch, an event is scheduled and the state of the Switch is updated to <code class="highlighter-rouge">ON</code>, immediately followed by a <code class="highlighter-rouge">OFF</code> at the calculated time. You can even specify an offset for the event and bind multiple items to the same property.</p>
<p>The position items (azimuth, elevation) and moon items (phase, distance, perigee, apogee, zodiac) are updated at the configured refresh interval in openhab.cfg.</p>

<h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2>
<p>I assume, the binding is installed. It populates the astro items at startup and with scheduled jobs.</p>
<ul>
<li>In the openHAB logfile there must be a entry like this:</li>
</ul>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>AstroConfig[latitude=xx.xxxx,longitude=xx.xxxx,interval=...,systemTimezone=...,daylightSavings=...]
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>If this entry does not exist, there is a problem in your configuration file.</p>
<ul>
<li>If the items are still not populated, switch the binding to DEBUG mode and start openHAB if not already running. Now you should see for every astro item, an entry in your logfile:</li>
</ul>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>Adding item ... with AstroBindingConfig[planet=..., type=..., property=...]
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>If you don’t see these entries, check your .items file.</p>
<ul>
<li>If the maps for translation are not working, there might be a file encoding problem. Download the German example maps and edit the entries.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="schedules">Schedules</h2>
<p>Multiple event types are supported. Each type has two events: start and end. In general, for all types their start and stop events coincide with a stop or start event of another type.</p>
<h3 id="planet-sun">Planet: Sun</h3>
<p>For the ordered list of the following 11 types, the start event is always equal to the end event of the next type. Except <code class="highlighter-rouge">morningNight</code> is always at 0:00 of the current day and <code class="highlighter-rouge">eveningNight</code> is at 0:00 of the following day.</p>
<p>For astrological definitions, see <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/different-types-twilight.html">here</a>.</p>
