@jgab Hello Jan..This "killOthers" functionality is more or less the substitution for truFor rule right?

Because the goal of this rule

is to turn on the lamp on sensor breach and turn it off after 5 min, BUT if there is an inbetween motion detected, the rule will not turn off the lamp, so this is equivavlent of

am I right?

Yes, there are many ways to achieve similar results - like in any programming language.

I wouldn't say that they are substitutions, sure they both can help in this case but have their separate uses too.

Asynchronous functions

Actually, how to make asynchronous functions look synchronous.

In ER5 we can do

Please login or register to see this code.

We call http.get and the result is used as an argument to the log format function.

We know that in QuickApps, net.HTTPCall().request() is asynchronous so we need to provide a success callback function.

In ER5 though, our script pauses waiting for the http call to complete and then let http.get return the value...

e.g. it looks like a synchronous call where we get the value directly. A bit like HC2's VD Net.FHttp.

 

We can create EventScript variables by assigning (er.variable or just var) the variable and its value

Please login or register to see this code.

We can add a Lua function to EventScript by

function var.myFun(x,y) return x+y end

Please login or register to see this code.

 

So, assume that we have a function that completes later (is asynchronous). Such a function usually needs some callback function to pass the computed values to. Think about net.HTTPClient()'s success and error callbacks.

This function will wait for 2 seconds and then call the provided callback function with the result of the computation.

We can easily make this into an "synchronous" EventScript function

Please login or register to see this code.

 

We define it on var.async and it will be added as an asynchronous function in ER,

and we can use it like

Please login or register to see this code.

The script will pause for 2s and return 14 that will be logged

The value, 3000, returned last in our asyncFun is the delay (in ms) before the async function times out. Asynchronous functions need some timeout so they don't hang forever if something goes wrong...

 

This is very powerful mechanism that allow us to do interesting stuff.

Ex.

Please login or register to see this code.

This creates a function that waits for an event before returning true.

Then we can do

Please login or register to see this code.

Here our rule trigger on sensor1 being breached,

then it pauses 10s waiting for an breached event from sensor2 and if it sees it, it proceeds to the action.

This allows us to easily do rules that depends on certain events happening in sequence,

like a burglar breaching sensors along an hallway...

Yes, the alarm is different. It's already there but I need to write a post how to use it.

Hi Jan,
Very promising ER review, amazing !

I have installed ER5 via the QAUpdater and running v0.027.

I'm trying it by implementing some basic rules and getting error on this one, trying to take an action triggered on single (or double) press with a Fibaro button...

Anything wrong with my rules ?

Hi, my bad - a cut & paste error for the :central code

Forgot to add :central test case so it was never spotted.

Pushed v0.028 

Thanks for finding the bug!

[chelson 7]

Waouw, what a support !
It works now, thanks

[Sjakie 137]

Jan perhaps its me or I doubt ER5?

Please login or register to see this code.

hal.deuren_Utility does't work 

Btw the log looks much better than ER4!

Perhaps change color blue >> for me not readable in lightblue?

Remark: from today all ER5 QA's are operational.

Blue, what log are you referring to?

 

More specific, what with hal.deuren_Utility doesn't work?

Does hal.deuren_Utility:breached report wrong?

Test

Please login or register to see this code.

If any is breached, hal.deuren_Utility:breached should report true, otherwise false.

Anyway, v0.030 uploaded. 

Fixed some small bugs. push messages seems to work...

Very strange, but my guess it's an error on the second line.

To see that you need to select the tag "ER1064" in the console as the errors from QUICKAPP1064 logs under the tag ER1064

(I see in the line below that you have selected the console tag  "ER1060"...)

If you want "system logs" and "user logs" on the same tag "QUICKAPP<ID>"

set 

er.settings.systemLogTag=nil

Sorry I had selected all my QA's

So, they all report false, but in reality there are some of the doors that are opened?

This rule throws an error (and yes, it's the trailing ';') . I don't think you are watching the right console tags. 

If it's too tricky with many tags set er.settings.systemLogTag=nil to get everything under one tag. And then when you don't have errors you can switch back to get a cleaner log.

Hi Jan, moving a bit further and trying to play with 'profiles' in ER5.
Is it supported in ER5 already?

I'm trying to use the same structure than here 

But I get stuck with the 'enable' rule expression.

Please login or register to see this code.

 

Any advice about profiles management in ER5 ?

No, but I'm thinking about it  

There will be a similar model to group rules by tags and and enable/disable groups. 

...but I will read what I wrote in the post and see if I'm getting inspired
