You could be moving around, not really leaving the room. Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. Im just suggesting a simpler initial part, comparing the last_updated time to the last_triggered time seems like unnecessary complexity (and as you pointed out, isnt working). In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. Scripts may also use a shortcut syntax for activating scenes instead of calling the scene.turn_on service. The State object. Probably the easiest way would be to use a variable in this script, and then call it two or three times from another script where it passes the entity_id of each camera for each call. It uses a streamlined template to convert the Folder Sensors file_list attribute to a comma-delimited string. A selector defines how the input is displayed in the frontend UI. When calling a script (or multiple scripts) via the script.turn_on service the calling script does not wait. Web5 MUST Have Scripts in Home Assistant Written by Gio in Smart Home Scripts are a collection of actions that are very similar to those actions in automations. scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions) switch script lights blueprint group. It could trigger an automation or indicate to another integration that something is happening. Passing variables to scripts. 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. EDIT: I didnt realize you couldnt use templates for entity_id in a state condition. it also uses split to convert file to a list then references a list item using repeat.index. There are 4 songs, and I want to play all songs. reacting on the events the button sends). Lets say I get the player variable set to kitchen tv. It unmarked the previous one I had marked. The script is parallel but the automations are restart. 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. In my scripts.yml: warnme: mode: single fields: warning: description: The text to send. 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. See Automation Trigger. I hope this reply is in the right topic. - service: script.sonos_say The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to be controlled via services. environment: dict: A dictionary of environment variables to run the add-on with. For example: This form accepts a list of conditions that are evaluated after each time the sequence 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. Or additional pairs can be added, each of which is like an elif/then. Since I banged around for far too long on this, I thought Id share my final code. I notice you have this in there: I just did some quick testing with this on my own HA. They turn on as expected. When the sun goes below the horizon, the porch and garden lights must turn on. - alias: test_counter Ive used very similar triggers and conditions before, so I think Im doing something wrong in the syntax to set the variable. Maybe try: Is there a way to only send a notification if the camera is offline? # supports seconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours. 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. 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. # Wait for IFTTT event or abort after specified timeout. When the script is executed within an automation the trigger variable is available. This text will be logged and shows up in the automations and Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. Scripts are a sequence of actions that Home Assistant will execute. Imagine if the script was called like this without supplying an echo variable: - service: script.alexa_tts data: message: "Home Assistant has been started." solved the issue for me. These are run when you turn the script on. How do people know about these secret script variables/inputs? I suspect there may be other issues as well. If I set the entity to {{ player_entity }} in the gui, it forces me to edit yaml. means the next action is started after the current action has been completed. data: I feel like I need more experience with yaml for the documentation to be much help. When the script is executed within an automation the trigger variable is available. and then there are the Hass variables the same thing its a nightmare. Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. notify_train_status: Without continue_on_timeout: false the script will always continue since the default for continue_on_timeout is true. See Log Levels for a list of valid options. example: AAAHHH sequence: - data: message: Warning! how to set a variable as the value of itself multiplied with 3600, There are examples on github Start a new, independent run in parallel with previous runs. 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 script as failed to run. Im not sure if my intentions are clear enough from my description. title: "Tg till jobb" It's not using the variable. attributes: It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. exemptions list(Optional) List of exemptionobjects. When I run the automation, nothing happens. So for lights that dont have brightness I dont specify that parameter to the script, so it will default to 100. just one minor issue, but I already fix it. The list of items {% set last_update = as_timestamp(states.light. Not only that, because not all my lights support brightness. By first confirming it exists, it can reliably refer to its value. The basics are already working (i.e. Here is parts of the script: In addition, it will place a link below your first post that leads to the Solution post. So if your logic gets to that else it is going to be true 100% of the time. Yes, but it's kind of cumbersome. WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. It should be picked up by the automation again only when I turn it off and motion is detected. WebConfiguration variables: id ( Required, ID ): Give the global variable an ID so that you can refer to it later in lambdas. At least thats my understanding. Use variables in your script dnikles (Dustin) February 18, 2021, 12:22pm #3 I am struggling with getting the syntax correct. I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. You can also use event_data to fire an event with custom data. the output of a template is always a string. For instance, in the below example it is used to create an entry in the logbook. environment: dict: A dictionary of environment variables to run the add-on with. If so you could customize your light entities using customize.yaml. 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). I wish HA would provide a way for temporary variables inside an automation that would persist across the actions. Got None. contain strings and that causes script.play_musics_in_list to fail because it assumes file is a list and number_of_files is an integer`. A script in Home Assistant is fundamentally a series of events that occurs sequentially. Got timestamp.variable.hour_calc. Within the script, you must convert them from string to the desired type. So if you have 4 songs in the list, they are referenced 0, 1, 2, and 3. This will only be shown in table of options available in the Services tab of the Developer Tools. It looks like the problem isn't in the script, but in the automation. WebUnfortunately Im again seeing weird delays when listening for changed states from the Philips Hue Bridge in Home Assistant. This parses out movie and player for me, but if I have any other actions they are not available. the actions are started at the same time. reacting on the events the button sends). They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. From studying other peoples code, heres what Ive deduced. Which then I call from my automations, like so: This approach works very well until now. This statement is not correct: as_timestamp(states.light. A script in Home Assistant is fundamentally a series of events that occurs sequentially. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. 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. See Script Modes. Tried this one: With this error message: # Multiple entities for which you want to perform the same action. Defaults to ro, which you can change by adding :rw to the end of the name. These are run when you turn the script on. The first conditions/sequence pair is like the if/then, and can be used just by itself. See Any errors that occur in the called scripts that cause them to abort will not affect the calling script. 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 variable this is the state object of the automation at the moment of triggering the actions. 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. WebCommunity maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. 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. Thank you, this fixes my issue but adds another one. Tg till jobb r {{ '' }} an error is logged, and the automation or script run is marked as errored. By the way, I already test again with your recommendation, but not succeed. Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. While it sounds attractive to parallelize, most of the time, just the regular It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, Custom component to declare/set variables, Set variables, custom component variables, https://github.com/rogro82/hass-variables, rogro82/hass-variables/blob/master/examples/counter.yaml, Using Input Select as an Array (Global variables) in Automations. From what you are saying, it sounds like my initial understanding was accurate. Events can be used for many things. The result is saved in persistent fields. FWIW, passing number_of_files is optional because it can be calculated from the file variable. Within the script, you must convert them from string to the desired type. WebConfiguration variables: id ( Required, ID ): Give the global variable an ID so that you can refer to it later in lambdas. When max is exceeded (which is effectively 1 for single mode) a log message will be emitted to indicate this has happened. I wish HA would provide a way for temporary variables inside an automation that would persist across the actions. A custom Home Assistant component for declaring and setting generic variable entities dynamically. Home Assistant doesn't have variables. You cant find it because it doesnt exist. Since the script running from the first movement is eventually just going to timeout and then turn off the lights, regardless of the other instances running in parallel for additional movement. The example below shows the continue_on_error set on the first action. To do so, add enabled: false to the action. Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. Please note that continue_on_error will not suppress/ignore misconfiguration Automation: Allow using script sequence syntax for action Alexa: allow script syntax for tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! Theres no universal HA argument. 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. value_template: '{{ (variable.state | int) + 1 }}', Thank you, easy one that I missed the : =). Thank you for the answers. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, Template variables to use throughout a script. where: bedroom Home Assistant doesn't have variables. Lets say command=play die hard on living room tv. There are three ways to control how many times the sequence will be run. 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. They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things I have finally a working solution which employs turning off the automation altogether while its not supposed to handle the light. The same concept applies to the studio room. light.) If we apply this approach on the script above, it would look like this: Using the variables in the script requires the use of templates: Script variables that may be used by templates include those provided from the configuration, those that are passed when started from a service and the this variable whose value is a dictionary of the current scripts state. - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work. Possible values: config, ssl, addons, backup, share or media. State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. iteration is available as repeat.item. I hope I properly understood this mechanism. Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. I dont think the configuration reloads that frequently though or would even see the change. Timeout has the same syntax as delay, and like delay, also accepts templates. If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted. it really cant be that hard but I get it with no variable solution to work. # Take different actions depending on if condition was met. Here are several other examples where the solution is to use data_template: Script variable as template? I have searched and cant find an answer. That is an example where I call a script for TTS. Im just trying to understand if echo is some universal HA argument, or something he defined. Runs are guaranteed to execute in the order they were queued. What are you referring to when you say secret script variables/inputs? Possible values: config, ssl, addons, backup, share or media. A description of this of this script parameter. WebScripts are a sequence of actions that Home Assistant will execute. An optional default sequence can be included which will be run only if none of the sequences from the list are run. Home Assistant doesn't have variables. It's not using the variable. The stop action takes a text as input explaining the reason for halting the In the meantime I found a final and better solution using wait_template. 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 Why use Scripts? Try this: Thank you so much it was my indentation, I didnt notice! By using states[light_entity] its working. template, or even an mapping of key/value pairs. The automation or script will be halted, message: 'Good morning, its you can then use state_attr(light_entity, 'last_updated'), this notation also avoids errors on startup, see here. sequence: instllt It looks like the problem isn't in the script, but in the automation. And lastly, a default can be added, which would be like the else.. Also are you sure you want the mode of this script to be parallel? I use these fields at several places in the ui. Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now()? I feel like it should work one of the ways Ive tried but it simply doesnt. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. A lists items are indexed starting with zero. tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! anyone can help me I just dont understand the examples of why I make a query and have events if I just want the var.x back and why cant I just use x.var and thats it? It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. You can set continue_on_error for those cases on such an action. I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. I cant get it to set the variable at all right now and Im not sure why. I used this approach at script start, which sometime return the correct entity, but most of the time do not: Is there one automation per light? entity_id: remote.harmony_remote I didnt realize I couldnt mark multiple. If not, Im sorry. Then when you turn it back on nothing is watching it so it just stays on. Yes, I just got the same result in my tests which means my assumption was incorrect. 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? Paulus just changed from {{ trigger.from_state.state }}, notify. But I dont want you to fix something which isnt broken so keep it if its working for you. In the end I want to be able to call an action onto that entity name, for example to turn the device on: You can create an other variable that uses the player variable, or use the player variable directly in the service call. This could be used to pass data to another script awaiting The template variable this is also available when evaluating any trigger_variables declared in the configuration. for example, a condition is not met. Thats to confirm the script was passed a variable named echo. After each time a wait completes, either because the condition was met, the event happened, or the timeout expired, the variable wait will be created/updated to indicate the result. I tried to create an automation: play music in the morning, music files was store in /local/morning. Yes, reserved word was what I was meaning. exemptions list(Optional) List of exemptionobjects. 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. WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? That works well. Trying to use template conditional to set variable in script Configuration It has helped clarify my understanding. 1 Like But if not, then you could do this: Hi all Im having a bit of a problem setting these variables. WebBoth work like script level variables. I use for my wife and I everyday. data: Inside the if sequence the variables action will only alter the people variable for that sequence. stop can be useful to halt a script halfway through a sequence when, Because your first conditional has an issue, specifically this bit: This is always 0. I am using the custom compenent varaiables Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. But all script objects share the same mode set in the script. Believe me, I wish I knew more too. Heres what I suggest for the automation. actions in the else part, you may want to consider using scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions) switch script lights blueprint group. The result is saved in persistent fields. You can use these variables in a template. I have excatly the same issue. 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. See Available-Trigger-Data. [light_entity].last_updated), as_timestamp(states.light.~light_entity~.last_updated). Thank, this is a helpful example. The condition action only stops executing the current sequence block. the first time the automation is triggered, the light is off therefore it will be turned on and its last_updated changed; the second automation trigger (while the initial is still running) still work ok because the. This form accepts a count value. In this case, all service data will be made available as variables. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. This means that if a variable is changed in a nested sequence block, that change will not be visible in an outer sequence block. Is this something the author defined, or a universal HA argument? Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. Following is an example of the calling script not waiting. WebScripts - Home Assistant Scripts The script integration allows users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Home Assistant. {{ light_entity }}.last_updated). State objects also contain context data which can be used to identify the user that caused a script or automation to execute.
