Now you scared me to death...Why would my rule 25 have 75 instances running at the same time? Did i misunderstand somehitng?

No, not running at the same time. It's just the 75th instance running. The previous ones have terminated. 

You could see 74th and 75th running at the same time, if they had a wait in ex.

Jan, i am using the abbreviated version for central scene event handling

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

how can i fomrulate in the same way a rule for Released attribute to be true for every button release ?

In old fashion i used to do it like this, where i am not specifying the key ID, just the attribute "Released", so whatever button is released all shutters should stop..

The operator === (3 '=') is the string match operator.

or there is :key.id and :key.attr

Thank you Jan

 

I tried the Value:bin yesterday but it didnt work out for me, I see the SUM does the difference, Thank you.

Indeed I need the Names, but i didnt get that long yesterday. Feel fee to help me MAP the User to the Swiches that would really be great..

So i can send messages to the mobile Phone

 

Did you have a great idea of the mapping of usernames ?;-)

Jan, i used to label my rules with numbers, just have better view of them, when some error occours, in case I can't read out from the debug logs which rule has the problem (the rules are often too long, and in the debug window they are abbreviated)

But it seems to me that the numbers are not correct, as far as it concerns my order.. Like in the picture below you see, for example dor me the 21th rule is hall_pir_any:breached....however if i look at your logs, that ER5 shows different number. This applies ofcourse for all rules.

How should I number them to match the ER5 numbers?

So, they are actually numbered in the order they are defined. Starting with one.

But it only counts rules defined with "=>"

If you run some expression with rule(...) that is not an actual rule (eg. setup, logging etc) it doesn't count as a rule. ER just evaluates it and forget about it....

However rules, having a '=>' are stored starting with an index of 1.

For non-rules I like to define

and do

so I differ them from real rules (and they get another color)...

 

Having said that - there is a way to label rules yourselves - it's kind of experimental so let's see how it works.

[11.12.2023] [08:46:51] [TRACE ] [ER5000 ]: Defined [Rule:myRule] 88:isOn => log('ok')

 

So, a rule gets its id (as a string) as the label per default. But we can assign our own label.

The label could be anything and doesn't even need to be unique (I still use the ids under the hood) - labels are only for logging.

If you try it out let me know how it works...

Jan I have around 1000 rules to add the numbers is a bit a pain. Can you use instead of number first part of rule just as when there is an error?

Well, your (virtual) deviceIds has nothing to do with userIds so you need a mapping table

Please login or register to see this code.

 

So, USER(name) is an existing function that returns the HC3 user with the name name. It returns the whole struct, like you get from swagger.

Then we just retrieve the .id that is the user Id and map it to the virtual device id

Please login or register to see this code.

should then work...

 

Actually, there is a small bug - but it will work in v0.82 coming later this afternoon.

Pushed v0.84

 

minor bugfixes and some better error messages.

 

New is that we can escape ' and " in strings.

rule("log('It\\'s 10 o\\'clock')")

The Lua rule is that in strings defined with "" and '' next character is escaped with \, so for ER to see that the ' is escaped we need to "escape the escape character \

\\'

which becomes \' for ER to see and ER can the escape the ' character.

 

In Lua strings that are defined with [[]] Lua does not escape characters. However, ER will do it when looking through the string.

So the same expression with [[]] becomes

rule([[log('It\'s 10 o\'clock')]])

@jgab I added on one QA your number rules and it looks very good!

The expressen part doesnt work for me. I think you meant expr instead of expressen, but even with that i cant see anyting. Maybe i am missing something. The rule labeling works fine, but i still dont know how to change colors for custom labeling, or for the rules itself.

before rule numbers Rules setup time: 1.300 seconds (115 rules)

with rule numbers Rules setup time: 1.738 seconds (225 rules)

 

[Neo Andersson 230]

@jgab Jan, how can I differentiate rules being logged on UI with some colors. I would like to see rules that are evoked but condition failed in red, and rules that met conditions and are triggered in green. Should i create a custom function for this or there is an inbuilt option for this in ER5?

Thank you Jan - Im getting messages to the Phone.

 

Getting Logs like this...

People at Home using Value [2120,2121,2122,2123]

 

Can i use above mapping to replace the numbers with names ? I guess not - how to to that?
Perhaps a new name table ? because the names in the "Access" dont allow spaces, and because of that a cant use that for TTS

Sorry, must have been autocomplete - it should be 'expr'

No, because it technically it isn't an error - it's just meaningless code. It's "woonkamer.Eethoeklamp" that returns the value of that and then "isOff" as a second statement that's interpreted as a variable, and probably returns nil.

No, not in the UI. The routine that logs this in the UI needs to be rather quick as not to slow down ER too much. 

If we want to do more fancy stuff here the logic needs to be different - like buffering and update every 5s or something like that.

Yes, see my PM. The idea is to attach labels to the existing rules. Now you define an additional "log rule"

[Neo Andersson 230]

@jgabJan, if i have a truefor rule, or a rule with wait function, and I restart the QA, should all these timers reset, or the timers will run off, and finish the job after QA has restarted?
