Jan, hello
I need to implement the value2 (for setValue2 action of a blind device that controls the slats)
 

in custom properties is this the right way?

Dear all, 

 

The below rule has been working for more than a year, but it looks like since the latest Firmware (5.190.36) update, it no longer works. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.  

Any one else experiencing this?

Thanks for any thoughts.

What is not working?
The rule not triggering?, condition false? not turning on light, or ?

Looking at your rule, I can see that this is strange:

It's the same as

because

is

So the rule will only run when $Profile == 'Business'

[JeroenL 9]

My bad....  Thinking error. Woke up at night and had the answer.... 

Now with the Wintertime, it is dark where I live before my range of 18:15.. 22.:45 so nothing got triggered.  Wrong logic in my code. 

 

Interesting what you say about

I thought either profile. Business or the Away profile would me a condition that would be met. 

 

Thxs !

ps. Looking forward to Version 6 🙏

@jgab

1. Jan  i tried to find some description about location / geofence event usage in ER5 but i could not find any. Maybe i am using some bad keywords, idk Would you please dhow me the syntax for geogence entering / leaving events in ER5?

2. Can you please look at this custom function call..Do i use the correct syntax for defining a custom function for ER5. I need to define function setValue2 (for rollershutters)
 

Please login or register to see this code.

Many thanks for the help

[Neo Andersson 230]

if anyone could help here a bit. I need to create a custom function value2 to set the device's value2 property to the given value. In regular way it is called fibaro.call(devid, "setValue2", 50) so i need to get it into ER5 to use it like deviceid:value2 = 50


I am following the syntax that we have in JGAB's description for custom functions below

so i have tried

doesn't work, throwing error about encoding a function

I tried also 

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

did not work either..

If anyone had some luck to defining custom functions??

Thanks ahead

[jgab 2,647]

Yes, they work. 

If you look at the device structure for your device (swagger), does it have an actions 'setValue2' defined?

Have you verified that fibaro.call(id,"setValue2",100) works from Lua?

Have you verified that fibaro.call(id,"updateProperty","value2",100) works from Lua?

 

Both your examples should work, I tried a similar, not just with value2 as I don't have such a device.

I don't think the encoding error is because of the custom fun - but related to something trying to log the rule... can you show me the full error?

So, your second attempt that "did not work either.". How did it not work? error?, not triggering?

 

[Neo Andersson 230]

yes, ofcourse it has value2

and yes

works in fibaro LUA

worked thanks

So what syntax should we follow when we want to create a custom function with or without arguments??

 

so it will work both on single device or a table of devices

Edited November 9, 2025 by Neo Andersson

[jgab 2,647]

They all have an "argument"

Please login or register to see this code.

will get the trigger for 'fopp' declared (function er.stdProp.trigger.fopp(...) end) and make an event trigger for that event, calling the rule.
When the rule is triggered, it will call (function er.stdProp.getProp.fopp(obj,prop,event) ... end) to get the value of property 'fopp' to evaluate the condition
If we call have rule("ID:fopp = 88") it will call (function er.stdProp.setProp.fopp(obj,prop,value,_) ... end) to set the 'fopp' property of the ID

If you have a rule like 

Please login or register to see this code.

the ER compiler will look through the list of devices and create resp, triggers to trigger the rule if either 66,88,44 change the fopp property.
The value of {66,88,44}:fopp is usually a list of :fopp applied to each device.
If we want the result to be a single value we need to provide a 'reduce' function that computes the single value given the list of values.
Ex. rule("{66,88,44}:breached => ...")
is true if any of the devices are breached (true). The :breached function thus have a reduce function that is an "OR" of all the values.
If our er.stdProp.getProp.fopp would return ex. the temperature of the device, {66,88,44}:fopp would then return the list {222,24,20} if that was resp. device temperature.
If we want :fopp applied to a list of devices to return the average temperature, {66,88,44}:fopp == 22, the we would provide a reduce function:

thanks, i was wondering, why it didnt work using your original syntax with windowsOpened example

Jan what does exactly mean what we see in the logs?

For example [Rule:170:93] ?? I know 170 is the rule ID, but what is 93?? Does that mean this rule has 93 instances running paralell?

its the instance number, so the number increases every time the rule is triggered.

it’s there so we can match logs from the same invocation of the rule.

@jgab Jan, i was using this rule years in many installations to catch any error in ER5 and send push to installers
Today i am getting this error message about this rule, but i can not identify the source of the problem..How could this work so long and now it doesnt..

and the error i am getting is

I dont get what param can be "false" there

ohh jesus, i think this will be related to the last update..Fibaro has changed something in push message usage i think..Could you please fix this? I am using this in many many installations..

Yes, the last change broke it. I guess it was kind of broken anyway. Some time in the past we tried to fix push message

Good morning,  
I have been using ER5 v.1.050 for a long time. Since the last update of the HC3 to v.5.200.8, I have had problems sending a SimplePush. Now I get the following error message:  

Quote

[03.01.2026] [14:17:52] [ERROR] [ER1287]: [Rule:168:1]>> [Rule:168:#HC3_restart => Phone_Kai:msg=log('ER5 neu gestartet um %s',HMS(now))] Runtime: ./include/utils.lua:389: Wrong parameter type, string required. Provided param 'false' is type of boolean putprop
#HC3_restart => Phone_Kai:msg=log('ER5 neu gestartet um %s',HMS(now))

(There ist a ^ under the colon)

 

Does anyone have the same problem, or can someone please help me figure out what I am doing wrong?
