Yes, that was what I did. I took 49 and called it 51 so you could "upgrade" to a functioning version.

I found out. I was because the update rules where in the buttom of the rules

these

Yes, my thinking is that I will download the beta versions of the QA files (if any) and store them in the same ER QA together with the "stable" files.

Then a quickAppVariable that is set to either 'stable' or 'beta' will select what version of files are used when restarting the QA.

Then when no one complains about the beta I will upgrade the stable to the beta.

This way it is easy to try out the beta and revert if it fails,

This was confusing me but I managed all QA's without error

v51 will give you the MIDNIGHT event error again. Fix tomorrow in v52

[Sjakie 135]

I will stay on the old 50 no problem all is working.

You can't.

The @rule is only 24hours.

You test every day at 12:18 if it's the right date.

Rule.eval("@12:18 & day('5') & month('10') => ....

Great Jan Thanks!

Ok, I think this will work...

Here is a shortcut that I have done on my iPhone.

Please login or register to see this link.

 

If you in settings->shortcuts has checked allow untrusted shortcuts it should be possible to click on the link from your iPhone and import the shortcut.

 

When the shortcut is imported open it and edit it.

First the URL, It should be:

http://<Your HC3IP>/api/devices/<ER4 QA ID>/action/RECIEVE_EVENT

Then open "Show more" and change the Authorization header to your own credentials. (base64 encoded)

 

Then go down to Request body and open the 'args' items

Open the next level, and then the next again (the 'ev' key)

The last level says

'type'     'test'

 

When I click on the shortcut it sends an event to my ER4 QA that I can pick up easily

 

rule("#test => lights:off")

 

It only works when my iPhone is on the local network, but its is convenient way to talk to ER4 without needing to go through other services or QAs...

 

 

 

Hi Jan.

 

Is is possible to do the same not using IOS? - have a button on a website that can trigger a switch? or should that be done through the FIBARO Assistant Integrations?

You can always call the HC3 REST API and send an "event" to a ERR4 QA. The trick is how you can access the HC3 if it doesn't sit on the same network.

The iOS shortcut only work if the iPhone/Mac sits on the same network as the HC3. It doesn't work if your iPhone is outside the home. It relies on the fact that it can call an URL that points to the HC3.

 

To send an event {type="test", val=42} to ER4 with deviceID 53

Please login or register to see this code.

and it can be triggered with the rule

Note that the event needs to be stuffed inside an event (x), it's kind of a bug that I will fix in the future.

Jan,

Question about devices.

Fa my curtain has two positions open or close. I dont use any position in between.

At the moment I will close the curtain it immediatley show position as closed, practically its still closing. In my opinion it should report close as it is closed!

Is this also for all devices?

Thanks in advance,

//Sjakie

I don't have any device of that kind so I'm a bit unsure how it reacts.

What value does it report when closed? and when fully opened? (device:value)

device:isOpen is true for every value > 0.

device:isClosed is true for value == 0

It may work to test against 99 (if it's 99 when fully opened)

i mean - from a website at the INternet. Outside your home. Can you integrate something at an internet website, using the same integration as google Home, Alexa?

[Sjakie 135]

Jan, yes I use value but it still stay the same.

If value becomes smaller than 99 it will change state instead of waiting till 0 is the new value.

ok for my log I use 99 and 0 but that is not as I thought it supposed to be.

But I guess it will be Fibaro setting.

Jan, Question about HC2

My daughter wants some home protection there for she takes my HC2.

I am "in charge" of setting it up for her.

I have from you the empty mail box rule.

Can I extend it with automatic restart HC2?

Thnaks in advance,

Please login or register to see this code.

The Rule is:

Please login or register to see this code.

I added to prevent again malfunction      wait(00:00:05); woonKamer.gordijnOpRit:close;

Any idea what I can improve or is this Fibaro? This happends also a few days ago with a HUE light

Thanks,

I'm new to ER4 and I'm sure to be asking stupid questions. I have a few time rules

that work.

What is the difference between rule() and Rule.eval()?

And why does this rule not work: Rule.eval([[RainSensor:value == true & Markise < 99 => fibaro.call(Markise,'setValue',99)]])

Thanks for hints.

They are the same function. In the old ER for HC2 it was Rule.eval() and sometimes redefined as just rule()

In ER4 I have defined Rule.eval to be backward compatible, but I would recommend to just use rule (shorter to write).

You can see that in the beginning of ER4's main() that it is defined as

local rule = function(...) return self:evalScript(...) end

When you test Markise value, you need to get it's value property.

I'm happy to answer basic/easy questions - they are the best - so keep them coming
