# Timer Sensor Complete Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: 2026-02-04
|
||||
**Component**: Timer Sensor (`attune-core-timer-sensor`)
|
||||
**Status**: ✅ Complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented full support for all three timer trigger types in the timer sensor using `tokio-cron-scheduler` for efficient asynchronous scheduling. The timer sensor now handles interval timers, cron timers, and one-shot datetime timers seamlessly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Dependencies
|
||||
- **Added**: `tokio-cron-scheduler = "0.15"` to `crates/sensor-timer/Cargo.toml`
|
||||
- Provides robust, async-first cron scheduling with support for:
|
||||
- Repeated jobs (intervals)
|
||||
- Cron expression-based scheduling
|
||||
- One-shot jobs (datetime)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Timer Manager Refactoring (`timer_manager.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture Changes**:
|
||||
- Replaced individual `JoinHandle<()>` per timer with shared `JobScheduler` instance
|
||||
- Added job UUID tracking: `HashMap<rule_id, job_uuid>`
|
||||
- Wrapped scheduler in `Mutex` for safe shutdown access
|
||||
- Made constructor async to initialize and start scheduler
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Methods Updated**:
|
||||
- `new()` → async, creates and starts JobScheduler
|
||||
- `start_timer()` → Uses scheduler to add jobs, tracks UUIDs
|
||||
- `stop_timer()` → Removes jobs from scheduler by UUID
|
||||
- `stop_all()` → Removes all tracked jobs
|
||||
- `shutdown()` → NEW: Gracefully shuts down the scheduler
|
||||
|
||||
**Job Creation Methods**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Interval timers
|
||||
async fn create_interval_job(...) -> Result<Job>
|
||||
- Uses Job::new_repeated_async()
|
||||
- Converts time units to seconds
|
||||
- Creates "core.intervaltimer" events
|
||||
|
||||
// Cron timers
|
||||
async fn create_cron_job(...) -> Result<Job>
|
||||
- Uses Job::new_async() with cron expression
|
||||
- Queries next fire time from scheduler
|
||||
- Creates "core.crontimer" events
|
||||
|
||||
// DateTime timers
|
||||
async fn create_datetime_job(...) -> Result<Job>
|
||||
- Uses Job::new_one_shot_async()
|
||||
- Calculates duration until fire time
|
||||
- Validates fire time is in future
|
||||
- Creates "core.datetimetimer" events
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Event Payloads**:
|
||||
Each timer type now generates events with correct trigger ref and payload schema:
|
||||
|
||||
| Timer Type | Trigger Ref | Key Fields |
|
||||
|------------|-------------|------------|
|
||||
| Interval | `core.intervaltimer` | `interval_seconds`, `execution_count` |
|
||||
| Cron | `core.crontimer` | `expression`, `next_fire_at`, `execution_count` |
|
||||
| DateTime | `core.datetimetimer` | `fire_at`, `fired_at`, `delay_ms` |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Main Service (`main.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated to handle async timer manager:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Create timer manager (now async)
|
||||
let timer_manager = TimerManager::new(api_client.clone())
|
||||
.await
|
||||
.context("Failed to initialize timer manager")?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Shutdown handling
|
||||
timer_manager.shutdown().await?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Sensor Configuration (`packs/core/sensors/interval_timer_sensor.yaml`)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated to reflect support for all three timer types:
|
||||
- Changed description from "interval timer" to "timer" sensor
|
||||
- Added trigger types: `core.crontimer`, `core.datetimetimer`
|
||||
- Updated documentation with examples for all three types
|
||||
- Clarified that tokio-cron-scheduler is used
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Comprehensive Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Added 4 new integration tests:
|
||||
1. `test_all_timer_types_comprehensive` - Tests all three types concurrently
|
||||
2. `test_cron_various_expressions` - Validates multiple cron patterns
|
||||
3. `test_datetime_timer_future_validation` - Tests various future times
|
||||
4. `test_mixed_timer_replacement` - Tests switching timer types for same rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Test Results**: ✅ 34 tests passing (30 existing + 4 new)
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Created comprehensive documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
**`docs/sensors/timer-sensor-implementation.md`** (6.7K):
|
||||
- Overview of all three timer types
|
||||
- Use cases for each type
|
||||
- Configuration examples
|
||||
- Event payload schemas
|
||||
- Implementation details
|
||||
- Architecture explanation
|
||||
- Testing guide
|
||||
|
||||
**`docs/QUICKREF-timer-types.md`** (2.6K):
|
||||
- Quick reference for all timer types
|
||||
- Common examples
|
||||
- Cron format guide
|
||||
- Decision matrix for choosing timer type
|
||||
- Event payload summaries
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
### Efficient Scheduling
|
||||
- Single shared `JobScheduler` for all timers across all rules
|
||||
- Async-first design with tokio integration
|
||||
- Low overhead job management with UUID tracking
|
||||
- Clean job lifecycle: creation → tracking → removal → cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron Expression Support
|
||||
Uses `croner` crate (via tokio-cron-scheduler) for cron parsing:
|
||||
- Standard 6-field format: `second minute hour day month weekday`
|
||||
- Supports special characters: `*`, `,`, `-`, `/`
|
||||
- Built-in validation of expressions
|
||||
- Query next execution time
|
||||
|
||||
### One-Shot Timer Handling
|
||||
DateTime timers:
|
||||
- Validate fire time is in future (reject past times)
|
||||
- Calculate duration until fire time using chrono
|
||||
- Fire exactly once, then automatically cleaned up
|
||||
- Track delay between scheduled and actual fire time
|
||||
|
||||
### Graceful Shutdown
|
||||
- Stops all active timers
|
||||
- Properly shuts down scheduler
|
||||
- Prevents job execution after shutdown signal
|
||||
- Clean resource cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Interval Timer (Every 30 seconds)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
trigger_ref: core.intervaltimer
|
||||
parameters:
|
||||
unit: seconds
|
||||
interval: 30
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cron Timer (Weekdays at 9 AM)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
trigger_ref: core.crontimer
|
||||
parameters:
|
||||
expression: "0 0 9 * * 1-5"
|
||||
timezone: "UTC"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### DateTime Timer (New Year's Eve)
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
trigger_ref: core.datetimetimer
|
||||
parameters:
|
||||
fire_at: "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"
|
||||
timezone: "UTC"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ cargo test -p attune-core-timer-sensor
|
||||
running 34 tests
|
||||
test result: ok. 34 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
|
||||
|
||||
$ cargo check -p attune-core-timer-sensor --all-targets
|
||||
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo]
|
||||
# Zero warnings ✅
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Complete Feature Parity**: All three timer types now fully functional
|
||||
2. **Robust Scheduling**: Production-ready cron scheduler library
|
||||
3. **Efficient Resource Usage**: Single scheduler for all timers
|
||||
4. **Clean Architecture**: Clear separation of timer types
|
||||
5. **Comprehensive Testing**: All timer types and edge cases covered
|
||||
6. **Well Documented**: Implementation guide and quick reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
Potential improvements identified in documentation:
|
||||
- Full timezone support for cron expressions (currently UTC only)
|
||||
- Persistence for job recovery after restart
|
||||
- Job execution history and statistics
|
||||
- Advanced scheduling (chaining, dependencies, priorities)
|
||||
- Performance metrics and monitoring
