Trigger on channel event

[ds82]

Is it possible to create a trigger that set off on a channel event?

I tried to add a helper function to generates a channel trigger, but something seems wrong:

function channelTrigger(channel, event, triggerName) {
  return new Trigger(triggerName || uuid.randomUUID(), "core.ChannelEventTrigger", new Configuration({
      "eventSource": channel,
      "eventTopic":"smarthome/channels/" + event + "/triggered",
      "eventTypes":"ChannelTriggeredEvent"
  }));
}

hmm .. found another forums post and also tried this:

function channelTrigger(channel, event, triggerName) {
  return new Trigger(triggerName || uuid.randomUUID(), "core.ChannelEventTrigger", new Configuration({
    channelUID: channel,
    event: event
  }));
}

Ok, the latter worked ... used it like that:

channelTrigger('astro:sun:home:rise#event', 'START')

many thanks for this repo! :)

@ds82, I have extended and updated some classes: ChannelEventTrigger should do what you need now.
