EventRunner 5

[jgab 2,055]

You need to write

@22:00

with a colon.

@22.00, is like 22s after midnight and will be scheduled first at 00:00, so that's why you don't see the timer

Sorry Jan for not reading well.

If I create an error I get the message setup error(s) - fix and restart.

In my case it stops running after posting test10=true

My rule test3 is't executed.

This is different as the QA "crash" earlier this was solved by re-starting the QA

Yes, it seems you have spelled 'ruel' instead of 'rule' for some rule definition in main.

[Sjakie 138]

Jan I created the error to see what happends. THe QA stops instead of fix  and restrat.

Does fix mean I need to correct the error and if done restart?

Yes, if there is an error when setting up the rules it will exit the main() function and ask you to fix it.

When you fix it and save, the QA restarts...

 

If there is an error later when the rules are running, it should not stop.

In the next version if a rule throws an error 3 times the rule will be disabled - and a message logged that the rule was disabled due to too many errors.

Great service Jan, thanks!

Hei Jan

 

I tried to create a pair of rules.

I have other rules for open/close of windows, so the close windows rule are linked to this open rule.

 

Is there a better way to do this? (delay before closing the windows). - im not happy for the wait 30 min command.

Well, in ER5 you should be able to do this

Please login or register to see this code.

You do all actions in one rule.

The .mode('killOthers') at the end makes the rule so that if the rule is invoked again it will kill all versions of the same rule that is "sleeping". 

So if you press it once it will close them to 50% and go into a 30min sleep.

If you press again before the 30min the new instance of the rule will kill the first that is sleeping and set to 50% again (no problem if it's  already 50%, yes?) and then start a new fresh 30min wait.

 

Was that what you wanted?

Hi Jan

 

I have migrated 75/180 rules from Ev4=>5.

I really like the rule and timer overview, Thank you

Is this this the right way to declare variables in EV5

Please login or register to see this code.

 

Would it be possible to have an exclude function in Ev4, like instead of u_ ?

when having a lot of rules with rule([[ ... i cant use use the --[[ ]]-- to mark out

 

 

[lux 1]

@jgabDoes it mean that event4 will not be updated in the future?

Well, one way is to enable and disable rules with the functions er.enable() and er.disable()

If you declare the rules in a table, like this

Please login or register to see this code.

you end up with a table of rules, as the rule(...) function returns the rule object.

By default the rules are enabled, but you can use the function er.disable(ruleSet) 

to disable all the rule in the table directly after they are defined.

The advantage with this is that you can use enable and disable from within rules so you could have another 

rule that says 

rule("@10:00 => enable(ruleSet); wait(03:00); disable(ruleSet)")

in other words, enable the rules for a certain time during the day.

I have used this to enable special Holliday rules in the past, lightning etc. (there is something similar for ER4)

 

The other simple(r) approach is just the put the rules within an if-then-else

 

in main where you load the modules you set up a table with the "rule sets" you want to enable/disable

Then in the local main in the modules you have an extra parameter, config

This makes 

'matrix_kitchen' a global Lua variable

It's better to make it an ER variable (only visible within rules) by declaring it as

Please login or register to see this code.

This assumes that in the beginning of main there is a declaration like

There is still

er.defvars(HT)

to declare whole "home tables" with ER variables...

Yes, in the example main(er) that I provide there is an argument 'er' that is a Lua table with some pre-defined Lua variables and functions.

The function starts something like this

Please login or register to see this code.

Here we define a local function 'rule' that is the same as the function er.eval(...)

This is the function we use to define rules.

There is also a table, er.variables, that we define a local alias for named 'var'.

If that is setup correctly we can do

We could also use

but that's too long to type...  

 

If you use your modules you need to set it up in each local main() that you have...

Hei Jan

 

I have a usecase for Ev5 i want to hear you about.

 

I using 25 pcs Matrix switches and each

Please login or register to see this link.

Switch have 4 LEDs 

Im using the LEDs for background light and indicating different statuses - and the goal here is to avoid the background light (runs 4 times a day) overwrite the special status.

 

I will maintain a Central Matrix LED Database from Scene 
Identifying Matrix can be done like this - or just manual in the first version

 

Store Matrix LED in database in Global Variable HTassets in JSON format.

Fase One…
Event runner 5 will be the brain to execute events.

Usecase…
When changing LED Color in a Logic Group Matrix button, when an external event like “Outdoor Light control goes from Automatic to Manually”, and this is indicated by a red Matrix LED. 

Problem…
Other Scenes/QAs like Day Color (Running 4 times a day) theme can overwrite this color. 

Idea….
When initiating EV5, it generates a working copy from Global Matrix HTassets (JSON)
Matrix Switch the Day Color theme in the Matrix Led are addressed through the working copy.
    local HT = json.decode((fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HTassets")))
    Util.defvars(HT) 
    Util.reverseMapDef(HT)

The LED asset value is removed from the working copy when Special status is given.
[rule("fibaro.utils.remove(1000,rooms.all)") -- remove 1000]

When the Light status goes back from Manually to Automatic. The LED asset value is added back to the working copy.
[rule("add(rooms.all,1000)") -- add 1000]
How can I add the Day Color theme to the LED asset, that was just copied back?
My idea is - From the ROOM / Variable (Blue Color) I have the actual Color, that can be re-used for setting the right color to the LED asset.

Like
rule("add(rooms.all,1000)") 
Rule(”terasse.lille.lys:isOff >> terasse.lille.Tryk1:color={$varrooms}; terasse.lille.Automation=false”)

-- Day Color theme example
rule([[$DayControl=='sleep' =>
        $varbaths = colorvalue.Normal;
        $varrooms = {0,0,0,16};
        $varcommon = colorvalue.Low;
        rooms.baths:color=colorvalue.Normal;
        rooms.rooms:color={0,0,0,16};
        rooms.common:color=colorvalue.Low;   
        ]])
 

Would they be a good way to do this, or what do you think about this?

In next version of ER5 there will be 2 variables defined

'uptimeStr' that gives a string with uptime in days hour and minutes.

Ex.

and uptimeMinutes that return the number of uptime minutes as a number.

 

So, a rule like

should work...
