Ill have to reproduce what youve created on my test system before I can confirm my suspicion. Isnt it pissible to add some kind of tempate to add X per X minutes? For the 2021.4: For our advanced users - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) update - I think it is critical to tell people that they must enter their desired z-wave device configuration parameters and then leave the page loaded for at least as long as it takes for the target device to check in. The State object. Error loading /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here The while also accepts a shorthand notation of a template condition. Meaning, you could have called that variable whatever you want and it would still work as long as you edited the other script to pass it with the new name? I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. Please note: In order for this description to be displayed in the Services tab of the Developer Tools, the script description must be defined as well. This is my last try: And this is the error message from the log: type ( Required, string): The C++ type of the global variable, for example bool (for true / false ), int (for integers), float (for decimal numbers), int [50] for an array of 50 integers, etc. Testing with mutiple lights (multiple automations) calling the same script, and triggering multiple time, behaves as expected. Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. I have excatly the same issue. Bit can this be done easier? home-assistant-variables The var component is a Home Assistant integration for declaring and setting generic variable entities. When I run the automation, nothing happens. Mark if this field is required. minuter See Script Modes. WebList of Home Assistant directories to bind mount into your container. However, what is being passed via the file variable is assumed to be a list (because the script treats it that way with {{file[repeat.index]}}. There are some caveats (see below) when using parallel actions. I personally like how that would keep the script focused on the light entity though and allow you to keep the mapping between lights and their controlling automations in an external file (customize.yaml in this case). If you use non-deterministic functions like now() in the template it will not be continuously re-evaluated, but only when an entity ID that is referenced is changed. I suppose one way to do it would be to call another script and send it data player_entity: media_player.kitchen_tv and separate it out into another script. Ive used very similar triggers and conditions before, so I think Im doing something wrong in the syntax to set the variable. I appreciate your replies. These actions allow a script to wait for entities in the system to be in a certain state as specified by a template, or some event to happen as expressed by one or more triggers. This statement is not correct: as_timestamp(states.light. That is an example where I call a script for TTS. The URL query parameters of the request (if provided). But I am still new to this and, like I said before, I dont know enough to make as much sense of the documentation as I wish I could. WebScripts - Home Assistant Scripts The script integration allows users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Home Assistant. Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. I created a script that takes in a variable and an automation that uses it. where: bedroom Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. Any ideas? The message and the device are passed to the script. It should be picked up by the automation again only when I turn it off and motion is detected. and then there are the Hass variables the same thing its a nightmare. A brightness value of 0 turns off the light, any value greater than 0 will turn on the light. The variables will be able to use templates and have access to the trigger variable. Start a new, independent run in parallel with previous runs. You cant find it because it doesnt exist. # This action will not run, as it is disabled. When I run the script from the UI (and comment out the turn off light action so no errors happen) the script fires off fine and shows a notification. This has narrowed it down some. Marks this field as an advanced parameter. Timedelta object how long state has met above/below criteria, if any. If you need to periodically re-evaluate the template, reference a sensor from the Time and Date component that will update minutely or daily. message: > # Turn off whichever entity triggered the automation. Configuration tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! The choice of echo simply provides context for its intended purpose but, like you surmised, it could be almost anything, including purplecow. But, nevertheless, if you do want to call the remote.send_command service from within a script, then it looks like what youre trying to do is to figure out how to send the device_id to the script and use it from within the script. It's not using the variable. So, let me ask you this-- in alexa_tts script, you have the if echo is defined logic. Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. I am struggling with getting the syntax correct. Have you tried to delete the icon attribute? Seems like you would want it to be restart . The same is for example my sonos The title or summary of the calendar event. for example, a condition is not met. Here is what I was suggesting for the final script in full: So all the situations you described with the wait template + condition (not turning it off if you flick the light on and off or change the brightness) should still all work. Within the script, you must convert them from string to the desired type. Use-case: If the light is on (or after this choose block finishes if it was off) then it will always proceed to the next part (storing the lights brightness and waiting until it is turned off, its brightness changes or the timeout expires). To do so, add enabled: false to the action. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. Did you ever solve this ? Everything explained in this topic can be found in the documentation. They turn on as expected. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. We support different syntaxes for a delay as shown below. Otherwise if someone is in the bathroom longer then you have the timeout set I think its going to turn off the lights on them, even if they are moving around. Defaults to ro, which you can change by adding :rw to the end of the name. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. You would have to create a helper (input_number or input_text), then store the value in there before you switch the light (using input_text.set_value), then retrieve it after. For the 2021.4: For our advanced users - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) update - I think it is critical to tell people that they must enter their desired z-wave device configuration parameters and then leave the page loaded for at least as long as it takes for the target device to check in. If so you could customize your light entities using customize.yaml and add a custom attribute to each of automation_id with the value set to its controlling automation. Each automation use its set mode and will instantiate its own script object. I wish HA would provide a way for temporary variables inside an automation that would persist across the actions. If you read my initial post, youd see that Ive already looked through the documentation and still dont understand. The basics are already working (i.e. and optionally supports running other sequence when the condition didnt This has narrowed it down some. Runs are guaranteed to execute in the order they were queued. The variables will be able to use templates and have access to the trigger variable. using entities of type input_boolean etc. action: I created a script that takes in a variable and an automation that uses it. I havent tested it yet so it may require additional adjustments. data: In that case to target media_player is optional. data: Templates can also be used to pass a value to the variable. Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. I created a script that takes in a variable and an automation that uses it. # Trigger when someone leaves one of those lights on for 10 minutes. The script syntax basic structure is a list of key/value maps that contain actions. 1 Like ~ where }}" How do people know about these secret script variables/inputs? The first variant allows you to define variables that will be set when the trigger fires. Note that the mp3 file is actually stored at: data: Maybe this causes errors Home Assistant doesn't have variables. Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. That basically looks like this (also sending the entity_id as well): Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? You can use these variables in a template. So if you have 4 songs in the list, they are referenced 0, 1, 2, and 3. I think youre close, but you have some YAML formatting issues. I gain a lots knowledge from your help. You tell it the start time, how long of a ramp you want and from what level to start and finish. For all I know, echo could be tied to the amazon integration. This action allows you to fire an event. This HACS custom integration for Home Assistant allows you to write Python functions and scripts that can implement a wide range of automation, logic and triggers. tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! - service: script.fastforward: WebSmart Home Courses: https://courses.leonardosmarthomemakers.com/collectionsEveryone needs to start using scripts! The following example shows how a single automation can control entities that arent related to each other but have in common the same trigger. So for lights that dont have brightness I dont specify that parameter to the script, so it will default to 100. - platform: time Sample yaml below. For all the different possibilities, have a look at the service calls page. All sub-options are only used for creating a representation of this script in the UI. In that case you need to adjust that bit to this: This will then look for the state of the entity passed in to the automation and get its last_updated time then compare it to the automation trigger time. I notice you have this in there: I just did some quick testing with this on my own HA. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. I see things like this in scripts often, for example in the script below there is the who variable. Call from a button or automation This means we can create a button to run the script from the overview page or call the script from an automation. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, Template variables to use throughout a script. Thank you, this fixes my issue but adds another one. The value may be specified by a template, in which case The first conditions/sequence pair is like the if/then, and can be used just by itself. This is not a good thing in my scenario. The example below shows the continue_on_error set on the first action. Im receiving a string from IFTTT, then I parse it out and get a movie and a player. - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work.

Notice the light turns off after the timeout has passed since you entered the room despite you moving around since the first instance of the script has now finished. It doesnt throw any errors in the logs. There are many different conditions which are documented at the conditions page. If I set the entity to {{ player_entity }} in the gui, it forces me to edit yaml. This is not always needed, for example, if the sequence of actions doesnt rely This makes sense. This is my problem. entity_id: remote.harmony_remote The action section of an automation is essentially a script in itself, so when you set the run mode of an automation you are setting the run mode for that set of actions itself. From studying other peoples code, heres what Ive deduced. Next question is how to set a variable as the value of itself multiplied with 3600. variable: Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. Thank Taras. # Run command that for some reason doesn't always work, # The `else` is fully optional and can be omitted, is_state('binary_sensor.all_clear', 'on') }}, is_state('binary_sensor.all_clear', 'off') }}, # IF another entity not related to the previous, is ON. In addition, we must subtract 1 from repeat.index when referencing the file list. WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. Is this something the author defined, or a universal HA argument? It looks like the problem isn't in the script, but in the automation. What are you referring to when you say secret script variables/inputs? It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. See Automation Trigger. # Do some things at the same time as the first script Start a new run after first stopping previous run. you have the if echo is defined logic. Got None. Do you see anything wrong in the automation? When the script is executed within an automation the trigger variable is available. This parses out movie and player for me, but if I have any other actions they are not available. 2018-07-08 22:24:42 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Invalid service data for input_datetime.set_datetime: Invalid time specified: timestamp.variable.hour_calc for dictionary value @ data[time].

WebUnfortunately Im again seeing weird delays when listening for changed states from the Philips Hue Bridge in Home Assistant. # Perform some other steps here while second script runs # Now wait for called script to complete. Variables can be set manually using the var.set service or they can be set using templates or SQL queries which will be run automatically whenever a specified event fires. Some of the caveats of running actions in parallel: It is possible to halt a script sequence at any point. volume: 0.04 Lets say command=play die hard on living room tv. The sequence of actions is specified using the Home Assistant Script Syntax. Believe me, I wish I knew more too. Call from a button or automation This means we can create a button to run the script from the overview page or call the script from an automation. Solution is quite simple, just change the order of delay service and wait_template service like below: Thanks Taras for your strongly support. Although Im curious, do your lights which dont support dimming allow you to specify a brightness_pct in the the light.turn_on service call and have a brightness attribute? I dont think the configuration reloads that frequently though or would even see the change. WebSmart Home Courses: https://courses.leonardosmarthomemakers.com/collectionsEveryone needs to start using scripts! The following example will turn a list of lights: Other types are accepted as list items, for example, each item can be a But if not, then you could do this: Hi all Im having a bit of a problem setting these variables. Templating is a powerful feature that allows you to control information going into and out of the system. 1 Like The most important one is the action to call a service. It has helped clarify my understanding. The speaker just play the third song in few seconds, and jump to play the fourth song (the last one) until finish. # Multiple entities for which you want to perform the same action. I was just investigating the reason its not working properly Please note that continue_on_error will not suppress/ignore misconfiguration For example: A variable named repeat is defined within the repeat action (i.e., it is available inside sequence, while & until.) If the script overlooked to first check if echo is defined, it would fail at the first line of code that attempted to use the value of echo. The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. From what you are saying, it sounds like my initial understanding was accurate. If you all are still having trouble with that variable component, you might want to check mine out to see if it suits your needs. This action evaluates the template, and if true, the script will continue. A description of this of this script parameter. But what I have works so I didnt pursue it. It restarts the timeout every time the motion is detected and stops the automation if the light is controlled manually (state or brightness are changed - I dont monitor other attributes as I dont have the need for them). Since it's Python, you can use any variables Python can. The variable this is the state object of the automation at the moment of triggering the actions. Please show an example of what you want to achieve and Im sure well be able to help you. This HACS custom integration for Home Assistant allows you to write Python functions and scripts that can implement a wide range of automation, logic and triggers. You could be moving around, not really leaving the room. until the condition(s) evaluate to true. You can use these variables in a template. You have to use data_template because the variables contain templates. This technique can also be used for the calling script to wait for the called script, but not be aborted if the called script aborts due to errors. Ive run out of ideas.
