OKay, this would work if

 

1. daypart names equals to night and day

2. Are you sure, i can call this led.data[dp].color as dp is a string from global variable while in the rule it is not...or is it?

 

Sorry, i can't do too much tests, so i rather 100 times ask before uploading anything, becasue every single time i save the QA i need to restart HC3 because of those ghost processes..really hard to work this way, mostly on customers systems..so i have to ask 100 times

Note , there should not be a ';' after  (fixed in earlier post)

1. Yes the names needs to be the same or you have some way to convert dayPart to key

2. Yes dp is set to $dayPart and then used as key (if dayPart has no value it is set to "" to not crash the logic. But dayPart/dp must be the same as the key in led.data

Hei Jan

(contactSpec | $DayControl) == 'Wake-up' 

This is an OR rule, right ? contactSpec OR $DayControl == Wake-up ?

I understand the triggervar the .start() ect but not the When the variable 'contactSpec' is set to a value it overrides what DayControl is set to.

 

if rule([[(contactSpec | $DayControl) run at 0800 because $DayContro is triggered and contactSpec = CO2 then both are true, right , but only equal to one thing ? - that will not be an overrride, 

 

 

 

   

Hi Jan

i see these two functions.

• table.insert(table ,position,value)
• table.remove(table ,position)

the numbers is below structure only have unique numbers, in rooms, baths and common.

How can i move eg 103 from rooms.rooms to rooms.baths ? and later back again ?

 

I can use the table.insert because the position dont mean anything and it can be first in the table, but how do i delete the 103 when i dont the the position ?

Jan, last question to this..if i set an element in HT table like this

 

Please login or register to see this code.

can i call this device later in rules like Kitchen_led:id:on?

[jgab 2,641]

So, now you need to re-save the QA when you update the rules, and possibly create a ghost.... because the rules resides in a file in the ER5 QA.

 

Maybe you could read in the rules from a file in another QA - they are just strings...?

Then the QA would not need to be re-saved when rules are updated, only when new Lua code is updated/added.

Just a thought...

I guess that would fail, but perhaps use :leafs that takes an arbitrary complex key-value table and returns a list with the leafs (removing duplets)

rule(" => kitchen.led:leaf:on")

 Kitchen_led.id:on

 

.id as id is a key in the table

Unfortunately it would return the colors and values too - and they can't be turned on...

table.delete(item, tab) removes the first item in table if it exists

It's defined as

Every night it fetches the holidays and creates a table holidays with { date1 = data, date2 = data, ...}

and sets holidays.today to todays holiday (if any) or nil

It uses

so you need to set the country code in the URL to your country

It also sets types to true for the types field in the returned result.

The available types are

 

The types of the public holiday, several possible

• Public
• Bank (Bank holiday, banks and offices are closed)
• School (School holiday, schools are closed)
• Authorities (Authorities are closed)
• Optional (Majority of people take a day off)
• Observance (Optional festivity, no paid day off)

@jgab

Jan is there a way to define a virtual switch, that can be turned on / off ? Kinda LUA global boolean, that can be a rule action triggered upon?

 

like

 

myVirtualSwitch:isOn => doSomething

 

i think among those thousands of lines in this topic i saw something like trigerVAR

Yes a triggerVar is a rule variable that also works as a trigger, and trigger rules when it changes value.

Please login or register to see this code.

 

Like other rule variables they don't keep their states when the QA restarts.

[jgab 2,641]

Ex. to test a time rule you can do

Please login or register to see this code.

 

If it's just for testing one can also do

Please login or register to see this code.

It sets the "virtual time" of ER5 to 09:59:58 in this case and then the rule will trigger 2s later.

Great idea - and thank you for providing.

I did a copy/paste into EV5 - and getting Runtime: calling 'mapHolidays' - attempt to index a nil value.

Something i missed?

 

[Rule:1:1]>> [Rule:1:@00:00 => holidays = mapHolidays(http.get(fmt('https://date.nager.at/api/v3/PublicHolidays/%s/SE',os.date('*t').year)))] Runtime: calling 'mapHolidays' - attempt to index a nil value

@jgabJan, i want to simplify my code, becuase i have some lon long tables that keep up so much line, that i would like to define them in a separate function, and just call it when creating rules.

 

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

i would like to create a separate function for this table definition, and just call it in one line among other rules. Question is, can a create a function ex. setUpbdtTable() that will be defined in a different file of my QA and just call it among rules? Like

Yep, doesn't seem to work on the HC3 with https - will come back to this....

Here is a simple QA

Please login or register to see this code.

It keeps a table of ER rules and assigns a global variable 'ER5rules' the table.

A little like the principle with keeping a HT table...

 

Then in ER5 we do

Just to avoid having to re-save the QA....

Ok, have a fix for next version. Turned out that http.get always set checkCertificate=false but it shouldn't do that.

In particular it didn't work with this site.

In next version checkCertificate is an option to http.get.

Unofrtunatelly this approach is not suitable, becasue setting the value of a LED will actually turn it on..We dont want to turn them on, we just want ensure, that according to a daypart, when some led gets turned on by a user, or by some code, its brightness and color will correspond with those values set in their data..

Kinda tricky one, but will grind my mind further to find a simple solution, and not write hundrds of lines..

Are you sure fibaro.callUI is defined? It's not available in ER5 unless you have defined it yourself.
