Well, the ||>> is already an if-then-else

...etc

 

Note, no ';' after last expression in then-do-this

okay, ELSEIFworks like this i know, but how ELSE works? If testvariable < 4 then testvariable = testvariable + 1 else testvariable = 1 end. How you write this with rule?

And if there is no ";" used after the actions on right side, how can i combine this pattern with some more actions. Like || condition >> action; hub.call(id, action) where the hub call should be completely independet from the IF part. Cant i use ; to separate them?

Good observation. You can still have many expressions in the the action separated with ';' - just don't end with a ';'

To break and have a statement after the the ||>> you use a double ';;' at the end (I know, a bit ugly but it gets the job done)

@jgabJan i have one more...

How to break the execustion of a rule?

 

rule("sensor:breached=> || $nobody_home == false >> exit;;... here comes som more code, that should not be run in case nobody_home is false. I know, it can be done with if else etc, but in the remaining code i have so many if end loops, that its better to exit the rule right at the beggining when nobody_home == false.

@jgab Hello Jan

What is the best way to add 14 day to a given date (using rules)

Please login or register to see this code.

 

It's a bit tricky with date arithmetic. In the best of worlds you want it to work with leap years and daylight time savings....

The simple way is to do

Please login or register to see this code.

but that doesn't work if we cross leap year or daylight time savings.

A bit safer is

that only have an issue with leap years and Feb 29...

In ER5 I'm thinking about some better date arithmetics...

Hello

I think i have found the source. First i was trying to use the same logic as in my example above for multiple radiators

Please login or register to see this code.

That was initially throwing errors, later as in my example above i am trying to use only single radiators, and that works. /sorry I copy pasted the example above with single radiator, and that did not show error so far

When i used table for radiators, it htrew an error like no trigger found in head

This doesnt work if i am using table for radiators?

@jgab Jan this is another examle giving me the same error.

I have tried it with real device (not a test value)

This doesn't trigger either, but here no errors occurs. So maybe the syntax for message sending to a phone is corrupt?

Table of radiators works for me (and should work). Also assigning a table of radiators with a roomTemp value.

Sure you didn't misspell something?

I am pretty sure, but will give it a try agian with tripplechek of spelling.

@jgabHello Jan..Please check this rule below. I have transposed several client's systems to ER4 recently, and many of them had a functionality that when open window was detected they used to get notifications. And it was working nicely while i was using fibaroExtra event handling.

So now i have created a rule , but this never seems to trigger.

Do you see anyhting that should not be as it is?

I have tried something like this to check for one radiator if we cen get windowOpened value directly

 

Please login or register to see this code.

This doesn't work for me so thats why i decided to go for the device event solution below.

[jgab 1,983]

but :windowOpened is not a valid check in er4.

do :breached  or :isOn

 

A window sensor that is opened sends a device event with property 'value' set to true

#device{id=<id>, property='value', value=true} -- sensor breached/opened

#device{id=<id>, property='value', value=false} -- sensor safe/closed

Thats not a sensor Jan

Its the inbuilt propeorty of a Fibaro radiator head

Ok, sorry, thought we talked about a window sensor.

Yes, there is no code for :windowOpened in er4 so you have to use the device event approach

Is my event approach correctly formed? Bacuase it never seems to trigger

It should work IF the HC3 sends an event when the property changes.

Can you see in the log if you get a sourceTrigger of type

Please login or register to see this code.

when you open the window?

 

Is the radiator associated with a window sensor? or how/when does it update the windowOpened property?

okay i realaized that month (oct-may) was incorrect, so i changed to (oct - mar) but it didn help

first of all, i relaized that i had bad month restriction. Obviously may-oct is not correct. I have changed it to oct-mar, as it should trigger only in winter season.

On the other hand, windoOpened event is fired by Fibaro when there is a steap temerature drop near to radiator head. It holds this windowOpened property in 'true' state for 15 min, then it jumps back to false.

Yes, it is throwing this event for 100% as i was using it very nicely with fibaroExtra.

So now i should do some more checks, after i have changed to month restriction to oct-mar.

My only question is at this moment, is my rule correctly formed? Using the month restriction with an event?
