Is it possible to use a list of id's in the conditions?

Hi.

Is it possible to use a list of id's in the conditions?
{
    type = "device",
    id = 2532 ,
    property = "power",
    operator = "anyValue",
    isTrigger = true
}

I tried to using a list like this:

{
    type = "device",
    id = { 124,1235,1236} ,
    property = "power",
    operator = "anyValue",
    isTrigger = true
}

but that does not seem to work ;-(

..or do I have to repeat the whole Block for each and every device?

 

... and is there a way to use the "hometable" to get the ids? for the conditions?

 

Thanks for helping
cheers

No, but there is an other way, for example:

Thanks for your answer.

 

Looks like if I want to use the "hometable" I must use a QA.

 

By he way.

I am writing data to InfluxDB - in this case consumption and energy data of about 40 devices (more to come) for use in grafana.

The scene that I got is working but with the conditions/triggers about "half a mile long"!!

As the consumption's do not really change that often I thought a scene would do the job.

... how wrong I was

thanks again

@pflugj The scene will do the job for you, no worry. 

 

You don't need the all the conditions to write to InfluxDB. Just write all the data you need every n seconds to InfluxDB. 

 

For example every 60 seconds:

Yep that was my idea at first.

But I am not sure about HC3 - I have about 140 physical devices and more to come

I wanted to reduce the load on the HC3 (this thing does not seem to be the fastest)

 

On the other hand I am using a Pi4 as a "Server" for Influx, grafana and a Sonarr, Radarr, nzbget and few other things.
I also wanted to reduce the workload on the Pi.
I am already writing WeatherFlow data via QA from HC3 into influxDB
and I also collect ALL data from my Victron solar system via telegraf and mqtt.
So the little guy gets busy at times

htop shows influx sometimes at up to 97%

maybe I have to add another Pi ?

The problem is Power!
I run my whole house from solar and batteries - so every single Watt counts!
By the way:
I am located in Namibia/Africa which is a very small country - population wise and
we do NOT have Amazon and overnight delivery or anything close to that!!?

 

Unless paying huge amounts for DHL shipping (which is still min: 5 days!!) or so,

It takes about 6-8weeks average to get anything

[SmartHomeEddy 878]

Oh, wow. That is something different. But Namibia a very small country, The Netherlands is that small pixel on Google Maps ?

 

But I understand, it isn't the cost for the Pi4 but how to get it at your house. We almost get a delivery every day, sometimes next day delivery, on a Sunday no problem, how different can it be. 

[pflugj 13]

small = ~3million people and the country that is about 20 times bigger than the Netherlands

?

And whenever I write to the any support: I am told to contact my nearest dealer ??
