Yes, it's very difficult case - solution depends on bathroom layout and family behaviour - and there are an infinite number of variations on these parameters  ;-) 

 

A simple case with a door sensor and a motion sensor that can detect if someone is moving in the bathroom.

Assumptions:

1. Motion sensor covers whole bathroom - also if someone is in the shower.

2. When door is open it's ok to turn off light if there is no motion.

In my usecase

Assumptions:

1. Motion sensor covers NOT whole bathroom - Only shower is not covered.

2. When door is open it's ok to turn off light if there is no motion, but door has to be detected closed before this rule can be active.

 

The Util.defTriggerVar makes it possible to use variable in the other rules - right?

Shower not covered;

if you use openDoor.... it should not effect there is still some one in the bathroom!

    Yes, Util.defTriggerVar makes the variable trigger rules when it changes value.

    In this case it makes the trueFor rule check its condition.

    Jan I still have an error and I have no clue how to solve it.

    If $Bezetting_xxxx is all zero or it's > 0 I get this error

    How does the rule look like?

    Thank you ? and just to clarify 

    Creating the Rule(" aaa & bbb 

    The aaa part is the trigger and the bbb is a condition.

    using the defTriggerVar on bbb makes the bbb trigger the aaa  ?

    Creating the Rule(" aaa & bbb 

    The aaa part is the trigger and the bbb is a condition.

    using the defTriggerVar on bbb makes the bbb trigger the aaa  ?

     

    Technically it triggers the rule to see if the whole condition (aaa & bbb) is true.

    rule("88:isOn & bbb => log('A')")

    When that rule is compiled/defined I inspect the condition and see that it checks 88:isOn which means the this rule should only be checked 

    whenever device 88 changes value. In theory I could check it only when it's value becomes true but then I miss a rule like

    rule("!88:isOn & bbb => log('A')")

    There is no reason to ever check this rule any other time. That's one of the reasons ER is quite efficient and can cope with a lot of rules - as rules are only checked

    when an event is happening that can possibly make the condition true.

    Other rule systems checks all rules continuously which is usually a waste.

     

    If we declare bbb as a trigger variable 2 things happens.

    First, whenever we change the value of bbb (ex. bbb=77) it will automatically post an event {type='variable', name='bbb', value=77}

    and secondly, it will note that our rule should also trigger on event {type='variable', name='bbb'}

    This means that whenever 88 changes value or bbb changes value we will run the rule and check the condition.

    If 88's value is true and bbb is ~= false/nil the rule will run it's action.

     

    Internally I have a hash map that maps events to rules which makes it very quick to find what rules to test for every type of event.

  • To add to the above explanation.

    If we do

    Please login or register to see this code.

    it will not work as expected.

    #foo is a user event (something we made up ourselves).

    The rule when compiled will note that when {type='foo'} or {type='variable', name='bbb'} is posted the rule should be checked.

    If it fires because the event {type='foo'} is posted it will run the action if the variable bbb is true.

    However, if we change the value of bbb it will run the rule but #foo will never be true (because the event was  {type='variable', name='bbb'})

    Unlike 88:isOn where we can check the state of device 88 and see if its value is true, a pure (user) event doesn't have a state - we don't remember it

    has been posted, we just use it to trigger rules "in the moment". If we could remember that it has been posted in the past when bbb triggers - how far back in time should we check? So, events don't have state, but stuff that have state can trigger events (like our trigger variable bbb, or device 88)

    I did this to see the value of "bezetting_kamer"

    Please login or register to see this code.

    Neither the rule I have bezetting_kamer ~= $Bezetting_Appartement or = does't give any value

     

    How to pint the value bezetting_kamer?

  • bezetting_kamer:value

    returns a Lua array of values, because bezetting_kamer is a Lua array of device ids.

  • So, it seems like some device in bezetting_kamer doesn't exist?

    So, what id did it log just before? That's the id with no value.

    But wasn't it device IDs in bezetting_kamer ???

    You do call :value on the list.

    Please login or register to see this code.

     

    If it's the number of occupants you need to do things differently

    Yu can't pre-compute bezetting_kamer...

    Jan, thanks!

    The rule with ~= is executing value 2

    the rule with = is wrong, wierd value 0 bezetting_kamer changes

  • You can't use '=' as that is assignment. Use '==' for comparison.

    Indeed Jan now it's working! Thanks.

    I add $Bezetting_Appartment also as trigger so the check on how manny persons are in is now complete!

    Thanks again,

    How do I get the value of a sensor put into a variable ?

    Like Breached or Not Breached.

    Eg this line - When2turnLightOff=Badevarelset.door; - Where Badevarelset.door is a Sensitive door sensor
