Example: I have a sensor with a value of 50 today tomorrow it is 53 maybe and I want to preserve the 50 and subtract the 50 from the 53 to get the difference. I was just investigating the reason its not working properly instllt I notice you have this in there: I just did some quick testing with this on my own HA. stop can be useful to halt a script halfway through a sequence when, i tid Location information for the calendar event, if available. 1 Like If it doesnt exist it can take a remedial action, perhaps assign a default value to echo. Yes, but it's kind of cumbersome. WebScripts - Home Assistant Scripts The script integration allows users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Home Assistant. Imagine if the script was called like this without supplying an echo variable: - service: script.alexa_tts data: message: "Home Assistant has been started." Or silent may be specified to suppress the message from being emitted. I am using the custom compenent varaiables WebSmart Home Courses: https://courses.leonardosmarthomemakers.com/collectionsEveryone needs to start using scripts! This is my problem. 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. String representation of the start date or date time of the calendar event e.g. WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. The most important one is the action to call a service. 2018-07-07 14:00:58 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Invalid service data for variable.set_variable: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ), got =) for dictionary value @ data[value_template]. Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. It uses a streamlined template to convert the Folder Sensors file_list attribute to a comma-delimited string. sequence. See Available-Trigger-Data. The output of file is string, but in script Im using it as a list. https://github.com/rogro82/hass-variables. It should be picked up by the automation again only when I turn it off and motion is detected. Yes, they support calling with that attribute and they simply ignore it. turn on a light (when motion is detected); wait a few minutes based on a datetime input; as_timestamp(states.light. 1 Like sequence: Researching now. Variables that will be available inside your templates. WebHome Assistant architecture, especially states. That isnt how it works. Hello, newb question here, sorry! I hope this reply is in the right topic. It's not using the variable. At least thats my understanding. {{ states.sensor.to_work.attributes.number_of_minutes_delayed }} Within the script, you must convert them from string to the desired type. See Log Levels for a list of valid options. Inherites template variables from event or state template based on the type of trigger selected for the device. I wonder if the following is possible within HA, because it would make things a lot easier. Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. Youre correct, I thank you for your feedback! WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. Solution is quite simple, just change the order of delay service and wait_template service like below: Thanks Taras for your strongly support. Since I banged around for far too long on this, I thought Id share my final code. This can be used to take different actions based on whether or not the condition was met, or to use more than one wait sequentially while implementing a single timeout overall. I still think my proposal with the choose supports this use case? But Im also all about not fixing things which arent broken, Is there one automation per light? Heres what I suggest for the automation. The sequence will be run The second time through it will skip the choose (since the light is already on) and just begin waiting. it encounters an error; it will continue to the next action. With both types of waits it is possible to set a timeout after which the script will continue its execution if the condition/event is not satisfied. Mark if this field is required. This is the script: I would have liked to be able to automatically find the automation entity_id within the script, but I was unable to get consistent results. WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? The sequence is ran for each item in the list, and current item in the # If called again while still running (probably in delay step), start over. I dont think the configuration reloads that frequently though or would even see the change. It's not using the variable. the template is rendered when the repeat step is reached. You can assign whatever name you want to a variable but I would steer clear of using words that have special meaning for Jinja2 (like function names, if, else, in, for, etc) to avoid ambiguity. Seems like you would want it to be restart. The speaker just play the third song in few seconds, and jump to play the fourth song (the last one) until finish. EDIT: I didnt realize you couldnt use templates for entity_id in a state condition. It looks like the problem isn't in the script, but in the automation. These are run when you turn the script on. But in this guidline: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/, for how to passing variables to script, we just use data in automation. There are some caveats (see below) when using parallel actions. I have excatly the same issue. 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. rogro82/hass-variables/blob/master/examples/counter.yaml { { warning }} target: - 'channelid' service: notify.discord The sequence will be run as long as the condition(s) evaluate to true. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted. WebCommunity maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. - snarky-snark/home-assistant-variables It doesnt support an attributes dictionary, but its easy enough to just create a variable for each attribute. WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? While it sounds attractive to parallelize, most of the time, just the regular The message and the device are passed to the script. No, unfortunately not. By using states[light_entity] its working. Lets say: @ 6AM I want my bedroo lights to turn on @ brightness 5 and every 3 minutes I want them to get 5+ brightness. For example, the output of a template is always a string. No big deal, but then when I type it in the yaml, as soon as I enter the last } it immediately changes it to [object Object]: null. So if you have 4 songs in the list, they are referenced 0, 1, 2, and 3. I wanted a wrapper script to play local sound files to my Google Home Nest Hub (whatever its called now). When it is used inside a choose action, only the actions within that choose will stop. Also are you sure you want the mode of this script to be parallel? Youre mixing up language directives (the reserved words or HA YAML arguments you described) with variable names. You could be moving around, not really leaving the room. It's not using the variable. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. My script, which I run from a few automations: The issue is, of course, in the value_template getting the last_update value. # Do some things at the same time as the first script Start a new run after first stopping previous run. The result is saved in persistent fields. 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. The form data of the request (if it had a form data content type). I cant get it to set the variable at all right now and Im not sure why. Marks this field as an advanced parameter. 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. 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. The other note you make is actually intentional. This (The first trigger idx is. A selector defines how the input is displayed in the frontend UI. Indicates the event spans the entire day. Do you see anything wrong in the automation? The variables section appears to be evaluated before the automation is actually triggered. 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). But if you have an action that launches a script, that runs separately with its own run mode. I might be including your suggestion too in the script, once Im sure the automation entity ID will remain constant Its easier to provide it from the same place where the automation is defined, in case it gets changed more (Im not yet set on a naming format for automations). The State object. I already test it and it run already. State objects also contain context data which can be used to identify the user that caused a script or automation to execute. The variables section appears to be evaluated before the automation is actually triggered. Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. How do people know about these secret script variables/inputs? The list of items the output of a template is always a string. The second variant is setting variables that are available when attaching a trigger when the trigger can contain templated values. I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. In addition, we must subtract 1 from repeat.index when referencing the file list. Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. Im on v116.2 and hass-variables are still working fine for me. The State object. The following example shows sending messages out at the time (in parallel): It is also possible to run a group of actions sequantially inside the parallel Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? The following script converts number_of_files to an integer before it compares it to repeat.index. scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions) switch script lights blueprint group. An optional default sequence can be included which will be run only if none of the sequences from the list are run. Sample yaml below. This is my last try: And this is the error message from the log: I have finally a working solution which employs turning off the automation altogether while its not supposed to handle the light. Maybe this causes errors { { warning }} target: - 'channelid' service: notify.discord The first sequence whose conditions are all true will be run. Templating is a powerful feature that allows you to control information going into and out of the system. # Trigger when someone leaves one of those lights on for 10 minutes. 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]}}. Please note that continue_on_error will not suppress/ignore misconfiguration Events can be used for many things. Everything explained in this topic can be found in the documentation. You can have a script, and say you have a service call within it, you can call a variable/argument that has never really been declared anywhere else and can call it whatever you want. you have the if echo is defined logic. The action part could be inside a script or an automation. Configuration invalid Just wanted to check on that. Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. See Automation Trigger. For example: More choose can be used together. WebBoth work like script level variables. The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to I dont know if youre using variable.hour_calc elsewhere. in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/automations.yaml, line 75, column 37, I have tried to understand the value_template and data_template but still no luck Anyone that knows how to store an input: number into another variable. Each sequence is paired with a list of conditions. I use these fields at several places in the ui. input number I just not get it I cant set a sensor value and store ist there. The example below shows the continue_on_error set on the first action. {{ light_entity }}.last_updated) %}. You can set it to true if youd like to continue the action value_template: '{{ (variable.state | int) + 1 }}', Thank you, easy one that I missed the : =). The title or summary of the calendar event. Thank Taras very much. Some of the caveats of running actions in parallel: It is possible to halt a script sequence at any point. Things like data, or entity_id, which are universal HA yaml arguments required in certain instances. Im at a bit of a loss. The while also accepts a shorthand notation of a template condition. is run. Heres one example of the many variants Ive tried: Ideally Id like to only notify if the camera is offline (as determined by a failure to update its snapshot) - Im guessing that would be a condition: but I havent had any luck setting variables within the condition either. This text will be logged and shows up in the automations and sequential actions will work just fine. actions. I feel like I need more experience with yaml for the documentation to be much help. just one minor issue, but I already fix it. A description of this of this script parameter. Youre welcome but you should give the Solution tag to Burningstones post because he answered your original question first. Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? 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. Possible values: config, ssl, addons, backup, share or media. Also are you sure you want the mode of this script to be parallel ? I just want to store a sensor value and subtract it the next day to get the difference why is that so difficult. Indentation is wrong and yiu dont need the set command. I didnt realize I couldnt mark multiple. I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. When it is used inside a repeat action, only the current iteration of the repeat loop will stop. And then passing the variable happens as follows: Am I understanding this correctly? title: "Tg till jobb" tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! Controls maximum number of runs executing and/or queued up to run at a time. Timedelta object with offset to the event, if any. The first conditions/sequence pair is like the if/then, and can be used just by itself. The preferred way to separate words for better readability is to use underscore (_) characters. An example value. There are many different conditions which are documented at the conditions page. In this use-case the light should not be turned off by the automation because I adjusted it externally. Am I correct in understanding that by enumerating echo there, you have essentially created an input argument (as I call it, not sure if my terminology is right) with the name echo? Templates can also be used to pass a value to the variable. This option controls the severity level of that log message. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. Possible values: config, ssl, addons, backup, share or media. For example, argument1. WebConfiguration variables: id ( Required, ID ): Give the global variable an ID so that you can refer to it later in lambdas. scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions) switch script lights blueprint group. These are run when you turn the script on. State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. It is, but how can I do this templating so it is available throughout my entire script? Since it's Python, you can use any variables Python can. Scripts can be created via YAML configuration (described below) or via the UI. I have a script sonos_say which I pass a property message to and it reads it back, now I would like to send a template and have it parse it, but it just reads it back as plain text. 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. {%- endif -%}. caution and only if you need it. Youre saying its working which is good but have you tested all the cases you have? Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. /config/www/media/dog_bark/bark.mp3, Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/, Trying to use template conditional to set variable in script. It stops the sequence as well, but marks the automation - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work. seconds: '/1' See Available-Trigger-Data. The template is re-evaluated whenever an entity ID that it references changes state. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work. Start a new run after all previous runs complete. Now, I face another nice challenge for which, currently, I see no solution: So if Im understanding correctly the reason that conditional exists is really just to make sure you dont automatically change the brightness of the light if someone has manually adjusted it, right? You can however define a new variable based on the other variable. Lets say I get the player variable set to kitchen tv. Here are several other examples where the solution is to use data_template: Script variable as template? Am I right? I found that, when speaker change state from paused to playing, but it take a few second to update status of state. I have searched and cant find an answer. There is no order guarantee. State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. Timeout has the same syntax as delay, and like delay, also accepts templates. variable: test_counter From what you are saying, it sounds like my initial understanding was accurate. When max is exceeded (which is effectively 1 for single mode) a log message will be emitted to indicate this has happened. 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. I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. WebCommunity maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. data: Yes, thats intended. Im not at home right now so I cant look into further at the moment. You can also get the script to abort after the timeout by using optional continue_on_timeout: false. In my scripts.yml: warnme: mode: single fields: warning: description: The text to send. can be used to run the actions in the sequence in parallel, meaning all It contains the following fields: This action allow you to conditionally (if) run a sequence of actions (then) As part of the service, variables can be passed along to a script so they become available within templates in that script. This action evaluates the template, and if true, the script will continue. Controls what happens when script is invoked while it is still running from one or more previous invocations. I only used notify so I can see if it is parsing appropriately. Information about the script field parameters; see the Passing variables to scripts section below. I am struggling with getting the syntax correct. # Wait for IFTTT event or abort after specified timeout. Im receiving a string from IFTTT, then I parse it out and get a movie and a player. Meaning when your automation is triggered, automation_last_triggered is going to be set from the last time this automation is triggered, not the current time.
