Jan how I can stop a QA (not ER6) from running instead of deleting it?

 

Simple, you just add function to reset, something like:

But that of course works if you use this to setup looping of the QA part of code:ž

But then I guess this is not the case in using Event Runner X?

BTW I have dozen of Quick apps looping on this solution and CPU and RAM usage is still low, and can stop part of them all of of them by simply sending command from control quick app, same as then restart them. Is that possible with event Runner?

 

Sorry if I'm asking stupid question

I think he means stopping someone else’s QA from ER. The short answer is no, unless the coder of the QA checks the .enabled device struct key at startup - but very few do….

 

(ER do check the key itself)

in EventRunner6/doc/add-ons.md, you define how to use separated modules for defining variables and rules

I have not yet understood what means the 'loader' data in the function

Seems to be quite different from  EventRunner5.

 

I am trying to use the same modules I have made for EventRunner5

Jan,

default gateway HC3 192.168.50.1

emergency gateway. 192.168.1.1

hc3api.post('/service/reboot',{recovery=false}; >>>> ERROR Expected table, got: nil - ["var","hc3api"].["const","post"] (disabling)

Or is there a better way to do?

Having a similar issue making it work. 

 

In main() I have:

@jgab Hi Jan,
we are a few people that are a little stuck with using the Enhanced Module System add-on, please help us with a working example
Tack så mycket

[jgab 2,647]

Yes, will post something tomorrow...

[jgab 2,647]

The module system was untested and buggy, I have updated it now.
If you just want to load rules from other files, you can use a QA file with

If you need something similar to the module system in ER5 where you can set the load priority of the modules you can add to main (ex. after QuickApp:onInit()... )

Sorry, it's 

fibaro.loadLibrary

fixed in previous post.

Well, ER6, don't have an update mechanism yet. But name the file with a starting underscore and I will skip them when updating in the future.

There is an ERUpdater QA but I'm unsure how it handles things - let me come back on that. 
But a good scheme is to name it with an underscore - if ERUpdater don't skip those files I will fix it.

It turns out that ERUpdater only updates the existing EvenRunner files so your files can be named anything except the standard ER files. But have a leading underscore just to be safe for future updates of ERUpdater

Im pretty sure a file cant start with a underscore, but in EV5 it was u_

share the rule .-)  seems you are logging / posting a string ,meaning somting in "demo" or 'demo'  and you dont need the quotes

@ChristianSogaard, I don't have a rule only error notification that's why I have no clue where to look.

I guess  somewhere you’re calling log() like one of these:

log("auto blocked until %d", "12345")     -- string, not number
log("%d", fibaro.getGlobalVariable("X"))  -- globals are strings
log("id=%d", tostring(id))                -- tostring makes it a string

%d means integer (decimal integer) in string.format (asking for a number, not a text)
string.format("%d", 42)     -- OK
string.format("%d", "42")   -- ERROR
string.format("%s", "42")   -- OK

I got it working now - Thank you Jan :-)
i know your way / thoughts of how this should get implemented is better, but i couldn't figure out how to, so if you could make a guide for as i was 5, ill prefer you way with the priorities

 

function QuickApp:onInit()

local er = fibaro.EventRunner(self)

self:debug(er)

self:updateView('info','text',tostring(er))

er.start()

end

@ChristianSogaard thanks!
