QA SpotSwitch - save your money with this QA QA loads data about spot electricity prices for a selected country (EU), can display them according to selected parameters, and can create switches for the lowest or highest prices in various intervals. It's possible to create any number of switches and informative child devices. Settings in child devices can be changed by the user and the impact of any changes can be immediately seen before saving of new settings. Source for electricity spot prices is Entsoe database. With SpotSwitch, you can control the most suitable times, for example, for charging an electric car, electric heating, heating hot water or selling electricity from solar panels. All my QAs have auto update mechanism so you don't need to any copy+paste exercise with source codes or button/label layouts including update of child devices! 30 days trial period - than you need license key: 50EUR via Paypal account https://paypal.me/petrkl12 For license key I need your HC3 (or HC3L or Yubii) serial number: HC3-xxxxxxxx Ideally include your device serial number and QA name in the payment note. QA: SpotSwitch.fqa Icons: In Main QA you can select: - Country Tariff for spot prices (60min or 15min intervals) from Entsoe - Currency - Language (currently: EN, CZ - for translators to other languages license will be free of charge) - Number of days in history for spot prices - Source of exchange rates (ExchangeRate.host - European Central Bank, Czech National Bank for CZK, Polish National Bank for PLN) - Unit (MWh or kWh) - Data replacement – how to replace data in case of unavailability (3 options: do not replace data, replace data with the latest available, replace date from the last same day in week) Instalation: 1. upload QA to Fibaro 2. select your country/language/currency/unit in main QA 3. press button Create All QA Basic Devices 4. you can create any number of child devices (Switches, Price Information, Averages/Min/Max) 5. detail settings can be done via user interface in child devices (6. select icon for main QA and all other information child devices will have same icon (after some time or restart QA), select icon for one switch and icons in other switches will be replaced after QA restart) There can be 3 types of child devices: 1. Informative devices about prices (SpV) 2. Informative devices about averages, minimums, and maximums for a given period (SpA) 3. Spot switch devices (SpSw) 1. Informative child devices about prices (SpV) - the following options can be combined: - Data for Today or Tomorrow or Yesterday - Current Interval - Next Interval - Exact time during day [HH:MM] - Selected hour during day in [HH] - Price value in selected currency in main QA device - Price value in default currency in downloaded data (usually EUR) - Rating against day average (VH - VeryHigh, H - High, M - Medium, L - Low, VL - VeryLow) - as in Fibaro main value can be only in numbers: 100=VeryHigh, 10=High, 1=Medium, -10=Low, -100=VeryLow - Rating against 7 days average (VH,H,M,L,VL) - Rating against 30 days average (VH,H,M,L,VL) - Rating against day min/max numbers (VL=Min,L,M,H,VH=Max) - Rating against 7 days min/max numbers (VL=Min,L,M,H,VH=Max) - Rating against 30 days min/max numbers (VL=Min,L,M,H,VH=Max) - Value against day average in percent (100%=Average) - Value against 7 days average in percent (100%=Average) - Value against 30 days average in percent (100%=Average) - Value against day min/max numbers in percent (0%=Min,100%=Max) - Value against 7 days min/max numbers in percent (0%=Min,100%=Max) - Value against 30 days min/max numbers in percent (0%=Min,100%=Max) - Fix day rating - 5hours very high (VH), 5hours high (H), 4hours medium (M), 5hours low (L), 5hours very low (VL) - Sequence number within the day from min to max prices: 1-24 numbers for 1hour intervals and 1-96 for 15minutes intervals - Sequence number within the day from max to min prices: 1-24 numbers for 1hour intervals and 1-96 for 15minutes intervals - Data availability for selected interval (Yes=1, No=0) - Value based on formula in QA child variable 2. Informative child devices about averages, minimums, and maximums for a given period (SpA) - the following options can be combined: - Data for Today or Tomorrow or Yesterday - Selected currency in main QA device - Default currency in downloaded data (usually EUR) - 1day average - 1day peak average (8:00-20:00) - 1day off peak average (0:00-8:00,20:00-24:00) - 1day minimum - 1day maximum - 7days average - 7days peak average (8:00-20:00) - 7days off peak average (0:00-8:00,20:00-24:00) - 7days minimum - 7days maximum - 30 days average - 30days peak average (8:00-20:00) - 30days off peak average (0:00-8:00,20:00-24:00) - 30days minimum - 30days maximum 3. Spot switch child devices (SpSw) - the following options can be combined: - Intervals with the lowest prices - Intervals with the highest prices - Continuous interval with the lowest prices - Continuous interval with the highest prices - Select intervals with prices less than zero - Select intervals with prices less than or equal to zero - Results based on formula in QA variables with lowest prices - Results based on formula in QA variables with highest prices - Results based on formula in QA variables with continuous interval with lowest prices - Results based on formula in QA variables with continuous interval with highest prices - Interval when switch should run – ie. from 00:00 to 23:59 - Days in week when switch should run – ie. Monday-Sunday - How long (maximum) switch should run in case of fulfilled all conditions ie. 4 hours and 35 minutes - If you prefer run As Soon As Possible or As Late As Possible (in case of same prices) - Standard operation ON/OFF or Reversed operation OFF/ON - Device can be temporarily or permanently switch off from automatic operation For advaced users: In formulas you can use following variables: price avgDay avgDayPeak avgDayOffPeak minDay maxDay avg7Days avg7DaysPeak avg7DaysOffPeak min7Days max7Days avg30Days avg30DaysPeak avg30DaysOffPeak min30Days max30Days exchRate units $DEVID:1025 (reads value from device number 1025) $DEVID:1025:value (reads value from device number 1025) $DEVID:545:state (reads state from device number 1025 - state False is 0, state True is 1) By default, all values are in MWh and in the original currency according to Entsoe (usually in EUR) Can be converted via the _EXCH and _UNIT expressions behind the given variable E.g. avgDay_EXCH_UNIT (converts the average daily price according to the current exchange rate and according to the selected unit (MWh or kWh) price_EXCH (converts the Price value to the selected currency according to the current exchange rate) price_UNIT (converts the Price value according to the selected unit) Example of expressions – in QA child variables - item Formula (Price-100)*$DEVID:545:state (when the switch id 545 is turned on (it has a value of 1) then 100 is subtracted from the current value in MWh and this value is displayed. If the switch is turned off, the value will always be 0, because we multiply 0) Example of expressions - for switches, there are items FormulaLeft, FormulaCompare and FormulaRight in QA child variables FormulaLeft, FormulaRight are expressions similar to the previous one, and FormulaCompare expresses how the expressions in FormulaLeft and FormulaRight should be compared, i.e. =,==, <, >, <=,=<, >=,=>, A separate number, e.g. 200, can also be used as a Formula, then it will be FormulaLeft: price FormulaCompare: <= FromulaRight: 200 I.e. evaluates to Price <= 200 - The condition will be met if the Price is less than or equal to 200 Other example of formula in QA child switch: Brackets, numbers, basic mathematical expressions + - * / and mathematical functions from the math library can be used In this way, you can practically create any combination for turning switches on and off, even outside the given scope 😊 for example, you can define that if the temperature in the room via $DEVID will be less than 23, then the switch will turn on 😊

Hi everyone, So I have a Skaro automation bridge which connects my iZone HVAC system to my HC3. On the quickapp is a label representing the current temperature in the zone: I cannot seem to reference the lblTemperature value in LUA. I am actually trying to get the actual temperature into a global variable within a scene but cannot work out the syntax. I downloaded the device file under advanced to see if I can see any other references to lblTemperature but cannot see how it gets the value from the device. I assume it is part of the API. So for the scene action I just have local MST = hub.getValue(99, "lblTemperature") print(MST) where the QA device is 99 and the debug screen displays: [07.10.2023] [15:08:11] [DEBUG] [SCENE74]: nil I'd really appreciate any ideas you may have. Thanks. Anth

Here is a link to a set of QAs to control Shelly devices. https://www.smarthome.com.au/free-shelly-quick-apps-for-fibaro-home-center-3/ It's both gen 1 and gen 2 devices. Gen 2 devices are easier to integrate with the web socket API than the gen 1 where we need to poll the device with regular interval. Battery operated devices are in general a pain to support as they sleep and wake up now and then - which makes polling difficult. So, battery devices are not in focus The QAs support the basic features expected from a device of that QA type so they fit into the fibaro model of handling devices. Extra features like setting timers etc that Shelly support is better handled with the pretty good mobile/cloud Shelly app. There are a lot of devices that are potentially supported but not all have been tested. Please give us feedback here or in https://www.smarthome.com.au/free-shelly-quick-apps-for-fibaro-home-center-3/ so we can come out with an 1.1 update... (gen 1 Shelly 1 and Shelly 1PM have issues but will be fixed in next release) The suite contains 5+1 different QAs that each support different Shelly devices. The devices tested, and devices not tested but we expect they could work are: ShellyMultiDevice v1.0 com.fibaro.deviceController + child devices Supported Shelly devices: - Shelly 3EM (Gen1).

This is a vscode setup for QA development. It contains an emulator so you can run the QA in vscode and debug it, optionally sending commands to and synching with the HC3. It has support for code completion and syntax highlighting. It has some workflow tasks to download QAs from the HC3, edit them and package and upload them when done. It's tested on Windows 11 and MacOS, and should work on Linux too. The repository for downloading it is here https://github.com/jangabrielsson/fibemu Some documentation is available here https://github.com/jangabrielsson/fibemu/raw/main/FibEmu.pdf (work in progress) ...and here is the movie (how to install on Windows 11) This is how the setup looks in Vscode. It gives you a way to develop and run a QuickApp offline on your PC/Mac/Linux and let it interact with the HC3 in a controlled way. There is also a simple UI to interact with the QAs UI and see events etc. Steps to run Have pyton3 installed on your machine. pip install the needed python libraries from requirements.txt >pip install -r requirements.txt Create a config.json file with the credentials to access the HC3. See config.json.example Install the vscode extension "Local Lua Debugger" by Tom Blind Create a QA file in the directory, select launcher "Fibenv QA file (remote)" and run debug F5 For other examples, see files in the examples/ directory (it's the QA files I use to test compatibility...) The .gitignore file included, excludes the subdirectories ./dev and ./test so they can be used to test your own code without impacting the rest of the repository. If you want your own repository - see instructions below how to link the right folders. For installing the python libraries, I would recommend to create an virtual environment for python in the folder before doing the pip install -r requirements.txt... The trick here is that we have a a python wrapper for the lua runtime (Lupa) so we solve dependencies on luasocket etc. and we don't need any special headers in the QA lua file to invoke/include the emulator/apis to make the QA being able to execute (we don't even need Lua installed on our machine ) To give some hints to the emulator what type of QA we have etc. we can give directive similar to TQAE in our QA file (but a bit different) Ex. --%%name=MyQA --%%type=com.fibaro.binarySwitch --%%file=qa3_1.lua,extra; --%%remote=devices:788,790 --%%remote=globalVariables:myVar,anotherVar --%%debug=libraryfiles:false,userfilefiles:false function QuickApp:onInit() self:debug(self.name,self.type,self.id) fibaro.call(788,"turnOn") end Note the --%%remote directive It instructs the emulator that it's ok to call device 788,789 o the HC3. As a default, the emulator treats all resources as local (we can read from HC3 but then treat them as local copies) and we enable resources we want to interact with on the HC3 as 'remote'. This goes for other resources also like 'globalVariables'. It integrates with the lua debugger so we can set breakpoints etc. Still work in progress and stuff that doesn't work so well yet - will update the post as it progresses... There is the beginning of an emulator UI at http://127.0.0.1:5004/ Currently implemented APIs have a swagger page at http://127.0.0.1:5004/docs Port (5004) can be changed Supported APIs fibaro.debug(tag,str) fibaro.warning(tag,str) fibaro.trace(tag,str) fibaro.error(tag,str) fibaro.call(deviceID, actionName, ...) fibaro.getType(deviceID) fibaro.getValue(deviceID, propertyName) fibaro.getName(deviceID) fibaro.get(deviceID,propertyName) fibaro.getGlobalVariable(varName) fibaro.setGlobalVariable(varName ,value) fibaro.getRoomName(roomID) fibaro.getRoomID(deviceID) fibaro.getRoomNameByDeviceID(deviceID) fibaro.getSectionID(deviceID) fibaro.getIds(devices) fibaro.getAllDeviceIds() fibaro.getDevicesID(filter) fibaro.scene(action, sceneIDs) fibaro.profile(profile_id, action) fibaro.callGroupAction(action,args) fibaro.alert(alert_type, user_ids, notification_content) fibaro.alarm(partition_id, action) fibaro.setTimeout(ms, func) fibaro.clearTimeout(ref) fibaro.setInterval(ms, func) fibaro.clearInterval(ref) fibaro.emitCustomEvent(name) fibaro.wakeUpDeadDevice(deviceID) fibaro.sleep(ms) net.HTTPClient() net.TCPSocket() net.UDPSocket() net.WebSocketClient() net.WebSocketClientTLS() --mqtt.Client.connect(uri, options) --no yet --<mqttclient>:addEventListener(message,handler) --no yet --<mqttclient>:subscribe(topic, options) --no yet --<mqttclient>:unsubscribe(topics, options) --no yet --<mqttclient>:publish(topic, payload, options) --no yet --<mqttclient>::disconnect(options) --no yet api.get(call) api.put(call <, data>) api.post(call <, data>) api.delete(call <, data>) setTimeout(func, ms) clearTimeout(ref) setInterval(func, ms) clearInterval(ref) json.encode(expr) json.decode(string) plugin.mainDeviceId ---plugin.deleteDevice(deviceId) --not yet plugin.restart(deviceId) plugin.getProperty(id,prop) plugin.getChildDevices(id) plugin.createChildDevice(prop) class QuickAppBase class QuickApp class QuickAppChild class <name> property(get,set) QuickApp:onInit() -- called at startup if defined QuickApp - self:setVariable(name,value) QuickApp - self:getVariable(name) QuickApp - self:debug(...)

QuickApp - self:updateView(elm,type,value) QuickApp - self:updateProperty(name,value) QuickApp - self:createChildDevice(props,device) QuickApp - self:initChildDevices(table) The general setup to develop your own QAs is the have the repo 'fibemu' downloaded in a separate directory. Then create your own vscode development directory and copy the fibemu/.vscode/launch.json and fibemu/.vscode/settings.json to your own .vscode directory. Then inside your .vscode make a soft link from .vscode/emufiles to fibemu/.vscode/emufiles. This way you can pull down new version of fibemu without messing up your own directory and development. Also setup your config.json with credentials. Implementation Some implementation notes. Supported REST APIs. Workflow There are some defined vscode Tasks that help in remotely uploading and updating the QA on the HC3 from within the vscode environment "QA, download fqa" downloads an QA from the HC3 and saves it as a .fqa file. The task will prompt for deviceID and path where to store. The path/dir needs to exist "QA, download and unpack" downloads an QA from the HC3 and saves all QA files as .lua files. It also adds fibemu headers in the main file so it can be opened and run with the emulator . The task will prompt for deviceId and path where to store. The path/dir needs to exist "QA, upload" will upload the QA to the HC3. It will prompt for QA file. If '.' is given as argument it will upload the current opened file. This will create a new QA, with a new deviceId on the HC3. "QA, update" will try to update QA files, viewLayout, uiCallbacks, and quickAppVariables of an existing QA on the HC3. If '.' is given as argument the file must have set the fibemu header --%%id=<ID> so it knows what QA to update. One can also give the deviceId of the QA on the HC3 that should be updated. This is convenient when developing and avoiding new IDs being "consumed". Sometimes when you update a QA you would not like to update the quickAppVariables. In that case give '-' instead '.' for the current opened file, or -deviceId for an exiting QA on the HC3. Scripts A advantage with the emulator is that we have access to more lua functions than on the HC3 which allow us to write some maintenance scripts QA backup. Backs up QAs from the HC3 to a local directory, keeping the 3 last versions QA distribution. Packs a development file to a .fqa, initialises some quickAppVariables, adds readme.txt file and zips it to an archive. Known issues While the QA is running, break-points can't be added. This is a limitation of the debugger used. Just add the break-point and restart the QA. When the emulator crashes, it may leave a process open that keeps the port 5004 in use. The emulator will complain at restart that the port is already bound. You may need to manually kill the process. On Mac: >kill -9 $(lsof -ti:5004)

Hi All! I have created a loop in a QA and need to detect if a button (from a 8-button device, Scene Master - ZRC-90 - Remotec) has been singleclick or dubbleclick and which one Normaly I simple use this: { conditions = { { id = 162, isTrigger = true, operator = "anyValue", property = "centralSceneEvent", type = "device" } }, operator = "any" } local trigger = sourceTrigger if (trigger.value.keyId==1 and trigger.value.keyAttribute=="Pressed" ) But in this case we do not have this device as a "sourceTrigger" I have tried diffrent ways but can not get it to work function QuickApp:loop(KeyCodeQA) local trigger = hub.getValue(162, "value") if (trigger.keyId==1 and trigger.keyAttribute=="Pressed" ) end

HomeWizard Wi-Fi Water Meter Quick App for HC3 The HomeWizard Water Meter gives you live insight into your water consumption. It reads your analog water meter. With the supplied adapter you can place the water meter on most existing Itron, Elster or Sensus analog water meters within 2 minutes. I got a lot of questions if I would create a Quick App for the HomeWizard Wi-Fi Water Meter. So I decided to build it, despite not owning the device. The Quick App reads the total and active water usage and it calculates the daily usage: Feel free to test and post your findings in this topic. Download You can download the beta Quick App v1.0b1 release from my GitHub repository (direct link to Wi-Fi_Water_Meter_v1.0b1.zip). If it's out of beta I'll upload it to the FIBARO Marketplace. You can download the Wi-Fi Water Meter from the FIBARO Marketplace.

I have started to code a Hue QA that uses the new V2 api. It's still early beta... (v0.11) It's available via the QAUpdater QA. The QA is a standalone QA that keeps an updated state of the Hue resources and accept commands to change them - like turning on/off lights. It only provides an API (fibaro.call, fibaro.getValue) and no QuickAppChild devices (the latter can be built relatively easy built using HueConnector...) To use the QA you create a your own client QA that calls the HueConnector QA. Example client: local devices = { "9222ea53-37a6-4ac0-b57d-74bca1cfa23f", -- Sensor "3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6", -- Tim "a007e50b-0bdd-4e48-bee0-97636d57285a", -- Switch } function QuickApp:hueInited() local function printf(...) print(string.format(...)) end -- local map = self.hue.getRsrc("deviceMap") -- Setup custom mapping from room+name to Hue ID. -- for id,info in pairs(map) do -- local name = ((info.room and (info.room.."_") or "")..info.name):gsub("[%-%s]","_") -- self.hue.idMap[name]=id -- print(name,"=>",id) -- end print(("-"):rep(40)) print("Mapping table:") -- Print out default mapping for name,id in pairs(self.hue.idMap) do printf("'%s' => '%s'",name,id) end print(("-"):rep(40)) self.hue.subscribeTo(devices) self.hue.listSubscribedDevices() self.hue.listAllDevices() -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","setColor","white") end, 0) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","turnOff") end, 0) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","turnOn") end, 3000) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","turnOff") end, 5000) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","turnOn") end, 7000) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","setDim",0,4000) end, 10000) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","setDim",100,4000) end, 15000) -- setTimeout(function() fibaro.call("Guest_room_Tim","setColor","green") end, 17000) -- setTimeout(function() print(fibaro.get("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","on")) end, 19000) end function QuickApp:hueEvent(id,event) self:debug("Event:",uid," ",json.encode(event)) end function QuickApp:onInit() self:debug(self.name, self.id) self:setupUpHue() end This example uses 3 Hue devices, a motion/lux/temp sensor, a light (Tim), and a switch. The QA supports devices, rooms, zones and scenes. We can send command to the Hue light with fibaro.call. Note that the id is the Hue uid and not a device number. When a device changes state there is a callback to QuickApp:hueEvent with the uid and the event. There is a deviceMap (more about that later) accessible with self.hue.getRsrc("deviceMap") that maps Hue ids to the various properties of the device/resource. In particular, name and room. This allows us to build a map from our own IDs to hue ids as they may be easier to deal with. In the example above we map the light "3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6" that has the name "Tim" and room "Guest room" to "Guest_room_Tim"="3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6" in the self.hue.deviceMap[] table. That table is used by fibaro.call so if the id is in the self.hue.deviceMap table it will use that mapping. This allows us to call fibaro.call("Guest_room_Tim","setColor","green") in our example. but it also works with fibaro.call("3ab27084-d02f-44b9-bd56-70ea41163cb6","setColor","green") Only lights, rooms, zones and scenes can take commands: fibaro.call(uid,"turnOn"[,transition]) -- transition in ms. fibaro.call(uid,"turnOff"[,transition]) -- transition in ms. fibaro.call(uid,"toggle"[,transition]) -- transition in ms. fibaro.call(uid,"setDim",value[,transition])). -- value 0-100, transition in ms. fibaro.call(uid,"setTemperature",value[,transition]) -- value in mirek fibaro.call(uid,"setColor",<string> | {x=x, y=y} | {r=r,g=g,b=b}[,transition]) -- color string, ex "green" or x,y float values. (RGB support tbd) fibaro.call(uid,"recall"[,transition]) -- Recall scene for scene with uid. fibaro.call(uid,"sendRaw",<table>) -- POST raw command to Hue device with uid Sensor properties motion -- true/false temperature -- temperature light -- lux status -- connected/reachable power_state -- battery Buttons/switches properties button -- button pressed status -- connected/reachable power_state -- battery Lights properties on -- true/false dimming -- 0-100 color_temperature -- mirek color -- x,y status -- connected/reachable To use this there is a small Hue client library that needs to be included in the QA On top of this it would be relatively easy to create ex. childDevices for each device etc. So, there is some setup that needs be done for the HueConnector QA too. There are quickApp variables with "Hue_IP" and "Hue_User". The latter is the api key you get from the hub. You can dump the current devices, rooms, zones and scenes (the resources we can work with) When I log my resources looks like [12.08.2022] [10:02:42] [DEBUG] [QUICKAPP1001]:

Anyone that can give some assistance with coding WebSockets in a QA?? Trying to build a really simple QA to collect data from my “Tibber Pulse”. The intention is to capture live energy consumption and put the code in a Energy Meter QA. In the Tibber iPhone app I get updated values every 10’s second from my Tibber Pulse and to get similar in a Fibaro HC3 QA would be ideal. Have never worked with WebSockets in the past so have no clue to how to do this…. But as a general concept it looks doable, but my attempt so far have only failed. General simple idea is to create a QA (Energy Meter type) with WebSocket code that listens to data from my “Tibber Pulse” and simply store the data received to the QA with self:updateProperty("value", TibberDataRecieved). There are some information in regards to WebSockets on the Tibber development pages: https://developer.tibber.com/docs/guides/graphql-concepts https://developer.tibber.com/docs/guides/calling-api Subscriptions GraphQL Subscriptions is the mechanism that is used for streaming data. It is basically a layer built on top of standard web sockets. A client starts a subscription by issuing a subscription query: subscription{ liveMeasurement(homeId:"c70dcbe5-4485-4821-933d-a8a86452737b"){ timestamp power accumulatedConsumption accumulatedCost currency minPower averagePower maxPower } } The server will then push results conforming to this query over the socket that is kept open between client and server. GraphQL Subscriptions Endpoint wss://api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql/subscriptions Subscribing to data While queries and mutations are typically handled over HTTP some data are better suited to handled as streams over a persistent connection (web socket). Subscriptions follows the same semantics as queries and mutations - the shape of what is returned/sent from the server is determined by the client when invoking the api: subscription{ liveMeasurement(homeId:"c70dcbe5-4485-4821-933d-a8a86452737b"){ timestamp power accumulatedConsumption accumulatedCost currency minPower averagePower maxPower } } Since subscriptions are handled over web sockets they can be a bit more challenging to handle from the client’s perspective. Many GraphQL client libraries provide good abstractions for this though. Note that the maximum number of open websockets is limited to two. Streaming live data from Tibber Pulse Python example to get live streaming data from your Tibber Pulse over GraphQl. This also works for any other type of smart energy meter supported by Tibber, such as Watty. Requires ‘Python GraphQL Client’ package: pip install python-graphql-client from python_graphql_client import GraphqlClient import asyncio def print_handle(data): print(data["data"]["liveMeasurement"]["timestamp"]+" "+str(data["data"]["liveMeasurement"]["power"])) client = GraphqlClient(endpoint="wss://api.tibber.com/v1-beta/gql/subscriptions") query = """ subscription{ liveMeasurement(homeId:"c70dcbe5-4485-4821-933d-a8a86452737b"){ timestamp power } } """ asyncio.run(client.subscribe(query=query, headers={'Authorization': "476c477d8a039529478ebd690d35ddd80e3308ffc49b59c65b142321aee963a4"}, handle=print_handle)) Tibber GraphiQL example from (https://developer.tibber.com/explorer) subscription{ liveMeasurement(homeId:"cc83e83e-8cbf-4595-9bf7-c3cf192f7d9c"){ timestamp power accumulatedConsumption accumulatedCost currency minPower averagePower maxPower } }

QA for regular exporting data from HC3 to InfluxDB 2.x 30 days trial period - than you need license key: 30EUR via Paypal account https://paypal.me/petrkl12 For license key I need your HC3 (or HC3L or Yubii) serial number: HC3-xxxxxxxx Ideally include your device serial number and QA name in the payment note. QA is sending data based on events and also in regular intervals from HC3/HCL/Yubii to InluxDB 2.x. It generates data to Influx with minimum delay. There is data about HC3 system (cpu,ram), info about scenes (start, stop), geofence events and a lot of details about devices. In QA variables there is possibility to define include/exclude measurements/IDs/… (default all data are sent to Influx) QA: InfluxDB2.fqa Icon: QA variables - you have to setup - IP_InfluxDB2 ie. 192.168.1.111 (or server/database address without https:// or http:// ) Port_InfluxDB2 ie. 8086 (for cloud database usually 443) HttpType ie. http (defaul value http, for cloud usually https) Organization ie. YourOrganizationFromInfluxDB2 Bucket ie. YourBucketFromInfluxDB2 TokenAPI ie. YourTokenAPIFromInfluxDB2

Hello, Does anyone have and would like to share a QA that would work as an alarm clock (turn on a specific device or scene at a set time and day of the week, from the interface and application)?

Hi when I add the powerview QA from fibaro HC3 (the built in one) it grabs my scenes from powerview and all is good. I can activate the scenes in "preview" and via lua. But.. the next day.. they don't work anymore.. I can then remove the QA and readd it.. then everything works again. Does anyone outthere use the powerview QA? have same experience? found a solution? Right now my only idea is that because I had automations running natively in powerview they ..for some reason.. break the link.. so after an automation has run in powerview.. something happens. I've now turned off my automations in powerview app and created a simple lua script to close the curtains tonight 30 minutes after sunset. tomorrow we'll see if they still work.

Hi all ! I would like to update another QA's label. In this case, it's QA with ID 95 and the label is called Doors. Does anyone know if this is possible and what that code might look like. function QuickApp:onInit() self:debug("QuickApp:OnInit") self:updateView("Doors open", "text", Doors) -- would like to update QA ID 95 end

Hello, I have an empty QA device (temperature device). What's the easiest way to set the value (temperature) using HTTP call (from outside HC3) to the API? Or do I need to provide some method in QA that i.e. the `callAction` REST API will use? I'd prefer to have empty QA and do everything via REST API.

Hi all I am really fan of the Fibaro marked - and i im thinking of an extra option. There are so few products working out of the box with Fibaro HC3 I would like to have integration for these products - and NO mittleware - and i have no problem paying for a working integration For my the fun is doing the automations and not the integrations. I guess there is other people like me that dont have all the time in the world just for creating integrations - and i can also see that several people have coding skills that would take me years to reach. What should it cost? I miss a place to trade with integration. Where people can request and - people having the time, energy and skills can do the programming.

Hi there! I am messing around with MQTT for integration with a third party device (Logic Machine 5) that has MQTT broker built in. I have successefully connected a QA with MQTT and it commands a KNX group address just fine. But, when I add a different QA to control another group address, subscibing a different topic of course, it behaves a bit strange. When I edit the QA (I endup triggering it's OnInit function) it is normal and keeps working on the home menu but, the other QA I created before stops working. Then, if I go to edit the other QA (OnInit debug message comes in the console), this one takes the place of the previous QA, starts to work, but then the previous QA that was working stops responding. I see a pattern here, that tells me the OnInit function of each device is not called at system startup (I rebooted to check). Wouldn't it be best to create a scene at startup that could subscribe all the topics at the broker? About that... is there anyone that can tell me how to use MQTT on scenes, instead of only on QA's? Thanks in advance!

Locally I can place the current class (self) in a variable and call an Object in this class. This code is working (localy): function QuickApp:onInit() local sender = {value='Yes', class=self} sender.class:localPrintValue(sender.value) end function QuickApp:localPrintValue(value) if value == nil then value = 'No' end self:debug('Can I print this : '..value) end [15.09.2020] [13:22:42] [DEBUG] [QUICKAPP105]: Can I print this : Yes If I send this variable to another class using fibaro.call(id, 'action', variable) , the call disappears into the darkness. Calling the Object in the other class(QuickApp) results in calling the nil value? !!! This next code is (because of the class=self) not working: fibaro.call(qaID,"updateMyProperty", {value=newValue, class=self}) function QuickApp:updateMyProperty (sender) local value = 0 if type(sender) == 'table' then -- Call comes from elsewhere.. value = sender.value self:debug('Device updated from: '..tostring(sender.class.id)..'.'..tostring(sender.class.name)..' with value: '..tostring(value)) else value = sender self:debug('local call, with value: '..tostring(value)) end end This is a pity because I would like to indicate in the called class where the call was coming from. Now I solve this by sending a table with : sender = {id=self.id, name=self.name, value=newValue}. Do I do something wrong? or has Fibaro disabled the oop function for sending object classes?

Is it possible to create a child QuickApp of which the parent is an existing Fibaro device? What I want to do is, to create a child on a Fibaro Binary Switch 2. The child is of the Multilevel switch type. You have those light bulbs that dim according to the number of switch clicks (1click = 100%, 2clicks = 50% and 3clicks =15%). Now I have this in a separate QA, but I want this as an extension to the Binary switch on which the light bulb is mounted. Is this possible? thanks.

Has anyone written a link for the 'Atag One' thermostat? There is an ATAG One API that works with Java.

Alarm Control HC3 new alarm concept could be used very efficiently by AOQ: For example: Assuming we have defined "nightSleep" which includes 1 doors and 2 window sensors. The zone is activated during the night (23:00~06:30). When the zone has breached we can send notification and/or send notification for breached device. When sensor has breached it will stay in breach mode and not monitored by alarm anymore, so additional breach is not identified. In order to monitor all sensors again, entire zone must be re-armed. Here is an example how to do it: jS2n={door=300, wSense1=410,wSense2=420, rgb=500} jM={ {0,"$blank",{timeSlot="06:30~23:00,23:00~,~06:30",initAct={"nightSleep","disarmAlarm",""}, trueAct={"nightSleep","armAlarm",""},falseAct={"nightSleep","disarmAlarm",""}}}, {0,"`door`|`wSense1`|`wSense2`",{state="alarm=breached",trueAct={{"Night Sleep Zone breached","sendEmail","$name at $room has breached"}}}}, {0,"$nightSleep",{state="value=breached",trueAct={{"nightSleep","disarmAlarm",""},{"nightSleep","armAlarm","5"}}}}, If you need visual indication of alarm status, we can add trigAct{} to set RGB Bulb according to alarm state by change last line as following: jS2n={door=300, wSense1=410,wSense2=420, rgb=500} jM={ {0,"$blank",{timeSlot="06:30~23:00,23:00~,~06:30",initAct={"nightSleep","disarmAlarm",""}, trueAct={"nightSleep","armAlarm",""},falseAct={"nightSleep","disarmAlarm",""}}}, {0,"`door`|`wSense1`|`wSense2`",{state="alarm=breached",trueAct={{"Night Sleep Zone breached","sendEmail","$name at $room has breached"}}}}, {0,"$nightSleep",{state="value=breached",trueAct={{"nightSleep","disarmAlarm",""},{"nightSleep","armAlarm","5"}}, trigAct={{"`rgb`","setColor,255,0,0,0","","{$nightSleep:value=breached}"},{"`rgb`","setColor,0,255,0,0","","{$nightSleep:value=armed}"},{"`rgb`","setValue,0","","{$nightSleep:value=disarmed}"}}}, You can use sendEmail, sendPush or sendiPush notification. Note: Using sendiPush you can define to execute scene or an action on any device (and any command) in the system. By pressing "RUN" button on iPush notification you can do follow: {"Night Sleep Zone breached","sendiPush,run_30","$name at $room has breached"} run scene 30 {"Night Sleep Zone breached","sendiPush,run85{turnOn}","$name at $room has breached"} turn ON device 85 {"Night Sleep Zone breached","sendiPush,run90{setColor,255,0,0,0}","$name at $room has breached"} set red color on device 90

Hello, Can anyone tell me how changing, from a QA, the devices parameters? I do have a Neo CoolCam Siren + a Aeon Labs one that I would like to configure from a QA before ringing it. The idea is to configure it to a gentle music when someone ringing, or as an horrible sound in case of breach or security alert I do have tested this, which was natural but that has no impact on the device parameter: function QuickApp:uionOnReleased(event) local deviceID = 292 fibaro.call(deviceID, "setParameter", 37, 2, 1) -- Device 37 | byte syze: 2 | expected value:1 end I have tried to adapt former VD code from HC2, but no way to adapt it local selfId = fibaro:getSelfId(); local port = fibaro:get(selfId, 'TCPPort'); fibaro:debug(port) HC2 = Net.FHttp("127.0.0.1", 11111) jtable = '{"properties":{"parameters":[{"id":1,"size":1,"value":1}]}}' HC2:PUT("/api/devices/" ..port ,jtable) and i'm then stuck looks like i'm sharing the issue (or lets call it "question") with @FBerges Thanks in advance for any recommendation or QA example have a good week end

Hi, From the resources available on the forum I managed to glue QA to support Yamaha Musiccast (tested on R-602N and WX-30 ). The code is certainly not clean and needs patches. Would anyone experienced be interested in helping to refine the QA and adding additional functions before posting it in the forum? Regards Michal
