# Rules Engine
APScheduler-based automation rules engine for the home automation system.
## Features
- **APScheduler**: Background job scheduler for rule execution
- **Interval Jobs**: Periodic rule evaluation
- **Graceful Shutdown**: Proper signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM)
- **Logging**: Structured logging at INFO level
## Running
```bash
poetry run python -m apps.rules.main
```
## Architecture
The rules engine uses APScheduler's `BackgroundScheduler` to run automation rules on a schedule.
### Current Jobs
- **rule_tick**: Example job that runs every minute
- Logs "Rule tick" message
- Can be extended with actual rule logic
## Example Output
```
2025-10-31 13:05:46,865 - __main__ - INFO - Rules engine starting...
2025-10-31 13:05:46,868 - __main__ - INFO - Scheduler started with rule_tick job (every 1 minute)
2025-10-31 13:05:46,868 - __main__ - INFO - Rule tick
2025-10-31 13:06:46,874 - __main__ - INFO - Rule tick
2025-10-31 13:07:46,874 - __main__ - INFO - Rule tick
```
## Signal Handling
The application handles shutdown signals gracefully:
- **SIGINT** (Ctrl+C): Initiates graceful shutdown
- **SIGTERM**: Initiates graceful shutdown
On shutdown:
1. Stops accepting new jobs
2. Waits for running jobs to complete
3. Shuts down the scheduler
4. Exits cleanly
## Adding New Rules
To add a new rule, define a function and schedule it:
```python
def my_custom_rule() -> None:
"""Custom automation rule."""
# Your rule logic here
logger.info("Custom rule executed")
# In main():
scheduler.add_job(
my_custom_rule,
'interval',
minutes=5, # Run every 5 minutes
id='custom_rule',
name='My Custom Rule'
)
```
## Scheduler Triggers
APScheduler supports various trigger types:
- **interval**: Run at fixed intervals (e.g., every N minutes)
- **cron**: Run at specific times (e.g., daily at 8:00 AM)
- **date**: Run once at a specific datetime
Example with cron trigger:
```python
scheduler.add_job(
morning_routine,
'cron',
hour=8,
minute=0,
id='morning',
name='Morning Routine'
)
```
## Dependencies
- **APScheduler**: Advanced job scheduling
## Future Enhancements
- [ ] Load rules from configuration file
- [ ] MQTT integration for device state monitoring
- [ ] Rule conditions (if/then logic)
- [ ] Rule chaining and dependencies
- [ ] Web API for dynamic rule management
- [ ] Persistent job store (database)
