@jgab, Normaly if open ER5 QA it will show main.

After changing in erlib some QA's by edit opens with a blanc page and I need to click on main to modify a rule.

how to correct?

All ER5 QA's open and clicked on main changed >> saved >>no fix.

Question: can I use fa wall plug = not reachable or disconnect in a rule? if yes how?

Thanks

Dear all. 

I am using a similar rule "enable / disable"  elsewhere, and there it works as expected. However I try to trigger the rule enable / disable based on a GlobalVariable, but the few lines below do not work, and I do not spot my mistake. 

Any thoughts?

There is a bug where chaining of .enable() at the end of the rule definition don't return the rule,

so 'Kitchen_rule' becomes nil, and it crashes later.

It will work if you split it up and do a separate .enable().

Dear all, 

 

Another question, trying to randomize my lights, it sort of works, but it doesn't in the sense that every day timer random_time_1 is scheduled for exactly the same random time. Do I have to (re)init something somewhere? 

Thanks again for any thoughts!  Jeroen

@jgab if I install a new ER5 QA how to get rid of the every 5 min ping?

This does't work

--[[var.i = 0 -- initialize ER variable

rule("@@00:00:05 => i=i+1; log('ping: %s seconds',i*5)",{ruleTrue=false}) -- test rule, ping every 5 seconds

]]

You shouldn't need to call _setupDailys here....

The problem is that when the QA starts/restarts the number generator is initialized with the same starting values. 

If you would let it run, without restarting the QA, for several days you would see different values.

However, you can initialize the random generator with a "random" seed when the QA is started

So, the rnd function takes either 1 argument or 2 arguments. With 2 arguments it returns a random value between the arguments/values.

So, if you want a random time around 22:45, ex +/- 15 minutes you can write

The @ rules will be scheduled every midnight (00:00) for the day to come. In this case it will compute

and schedule a timer for that time. Next midnight it will compute a new time.
