condition can also be a list of conditions and execution will then only continue if ALL conditions return true. # At this scope, people will now be 1 # but at this scope it will still be 0, # If paulus is home, continue to execute the script below these lines, # Supports milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, # Can be used in combination, at least one required, # Waits however many minutes input_number.minute_delay is set to, # Wait for a custom event or light to turn on and stay on for 10 sec. The example below demonstrates that: Running actions in parallel can be helpful in many cases, but use it with Marks this field as an advanced parameter. the output of a template is always a string. Since it's Python, you can use any variables Python can. The template variable this is also available when evaluating any trigger_variables declared in the configuration. Passing variables to scripts. Youre mixing up language directives (the reserved words or HA YAML arguments you described) with variable names. Paulus just changed from {{ trigger.from_state.state }}, notify. template, or even an mapping of key/value pairs. 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. Variables have local scope. The URL query parameters of the request (if provided). It doesnt throw any errors in the logs. This action allows you to repeat a sequence of other actions. For the benefit of other users, pleas mark my previous post with the Solution tag, as shown in the following image: By doing this, it will automatically place a check-mark next to the topics title which signals to other users that this topic has an accepted solution. A description of the script that will be displayed in the Services tab under Developer Tools. 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. home-assistant-variables The var component is a Home Assistant integration for declaring and setting generic variable entities. it also uses split to convert file to a list then references a list item using repeat.index. (The first trigger idx is. At least thats my understanding. 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. # Trigger when someone leaves one of those lights on for 10 minutes. I would like to use a variable and set it to the value of an input_number, but got stuck. See Available-Trigger-Data. If you pass the full entity id (incl. A custom Home Assistant component for declaring and setting generic variable entities dynamically. frsenat med github.com In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. - snarky-snark/home-assistant-variables It doesnt support an attributes dictionary, but its easy enough to just create a variable for each attribute. action: Error loading /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. 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? By first confirming it exists, it can reliably refer to its value. The continue_on_error is available on all actions and is set to The speaker just play the third song in few seconds, and jump to play the fourth song (the last one) until finish. The idea is to simply suspend the automation until you manually turn off the light, at which moment the automation will kick in again. If you read my initial post, youd see that Ive already looked through the documentation and still dont understand. is run. Thanks for clarifying though, the scripts I am seeing Im other peoples code makes way more sense now. { { warning }} target: - 'channelid' service: notify.discord When the script is executed within an automation the trigger variable is available. I didnt realize I couldnt mark multiple. See Automation Trigger. I have excatly the same issue. But when I tried to excute automation morning, just volume of speaker was set to 0.3. 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). The sequence will be run pass (else). Timeout has the same syntax as delay, and like delay, also accepts templates. - service: notify.notify Each step in a parallelized has its own scope. Lets say: @ 6AM I want my bedroo lights to turn on @ brightness 5 and every 3 minutes I want them to get 5+ brightness. I use these fields at several places in the ui. Ive read the documentation on scripts but, if Im being honest, I cant make too terribly much of the documentation yet. Then when you turn it back on nothing is watching it so it just stays on. A custom Home Assistant component for declaring and setting generic variable entities dynamically. It contains the following fields: This action allow you to conditionally (if) run a sequence of actions (then) This has narrowed it down some. icon: mdi:alarm Passing variables to scripts.

A description of this of this script parameter. Or silent may be specified to suppress the message from being emitted. Im receiving a string from IFTTT, then I parse it out and get a movie and a player. 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. Here is parts of the script: Hey guys, I want to make sure I understand how to write scripts that take variables/arguments and then how to pass them when calling them. {%- if is_state('sensor.to_work', 'delayed') -%} Allright. {{ light_entity }}.last_updated) %}. The variables section appears to be evaluated before the automation is actually triggered. NOTE WebBoth work like script level variables. A selector defines how the input is displayed in the frontend UI. There are two ways to achieve this. If so you could customize your light entities using customize.yaml. 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. I gain a lots knowledge from your help. This action evaluates the template, and if true, the script will continue. 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]}}. This action allows you to fire an event. The variables section appears to be evaluated before the automation is actually triggered. What gave you the impression such a concept exists in Home Assistant?

Here is a fresh copy of the script with the modifications: Its absolutely perfect now. The value may be specified by a template, in which case I keep seeing scripts that are passing things like who: which I cant find documentation on, and I am just now piecing together that these may be self-defined arguments that their scripts can take. The variables will be able to use templates and have access to the trigger variable. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. A brightness value of 0 turns off the light, any value greater than 0 will turn on the light. it really cant be that hard but I get it with no variable solution to work. Each automation use its set mode and will instantiate its own script object. light.) 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). Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. Mark if this field is required. Im not at home right now so I cant look into further at the moment. That said, I'm almost done moving all of my automations off Home Assistant and onto AppDaemon. There are three ways to control how many times the sequence will be run. means the next action is started after the current action has been completed. 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. And I cant find the correct approach to do it! Scripts can be created via YAML configuration (described below) or via the UI. sequence: 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. title: "Tg till jobb" I wish HA would provide a way for temporary variables inside an automation that would persist across the actions. Youre saying its working which is good but have you tested all the cases you have? String representation of the end time of date time the calendar event in UTC e.g. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to These are run when you turn the script on. # Wait for sensor to change to 'on' up to 1 minute before continuing to execute. in another parallelized action. Seems like you would want it to be restart . The title or summary of the calendar event. 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. WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? I hope this reply is in the right topic. Note that the mp3 file is actually stored at: Variables in Automation - Configuration - Home Assistant Community Variables in Automation Configuration T1ppes November 3, 2021, 9:30am #1 I am trying to create an automation around a IKEA TRADFRI Shortcut Button. Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. So for lights that dont have brightness I dont specify that parameter to the script, so it will default to 100. Correcting the template above to a template condition instead. Please tell me Im understanding this correctly :). and then there are the Hass variables the same thing its a nightmare. It unmarked the previous one I had marked. Right. you can then use state_attr(light_entity, 'last_updated'), this notation also avoids errors on startup, see here. Start a new, independent run in parallel with previous runs. The first sequence whose conditions are all true will be run. Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. WebCommunity maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. https://github.com/rogro82/hass-variables. Script with template that uses a entity as variable? Is this something the author defined, or a universal HA argument? The Scripts system was introduced in Home Assistant 0.7, and it's used by. I just today learned about being able to add custom attributes via customize.yaml. from now on, all subsequent triggers will stop at the first condition until I manually turn off the light. I want to parse the string into different variables to be used throughout the script. - platform: time volume: 0.04 When you set your argument in the call of the script you can use that in the called script as a variable. When I run the automation, nothing happens. WebCommunity maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. WebScripts - Home Assistant Scripts The script integration allows users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Home Assistant. 1 Like The second time through it will skip the choose (since the light is already on) and just begin waiting. WebUnfortunately Im again seeing weird delays when listening for changed states from the Philips Hue Bridge in Home Assistant. The initial value of repeat.index is 1 (not 0). 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. Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? 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. The sequence is ran for each item in the list, and current item in the This does not work: As suspected, these two variables: file number_of_files 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`. When a condition does not return true, the script will stop executing.

Im not sure if my intentions are clear enough from my description. I use for my wife and I everyday. # If called again while still running (probably in delay step), start over. It does ramp down as well. # supports seconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours. WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? What this is doing is its looking for an entity literally called light_entity and getting its last_updated time. Do you see anything wrong in the automation? variable: test_counter 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. WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. 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. can be used to run the actions in the sequence in parallel, meaning all ~ where }}" # This action will run, as it is not disabled, shorthand notation of a template condition, True during the first iteration of the repeat sequence, The iteration number of the loop: 1, 2, 3, , True during the last iteration of the repeat sequence, which is only valid for counted loops. In addition, it will place a link below your first post that leads to the Solution post. Timedelta object how long state has been to state, if any. The first variant allows you to define variables that will be set when the trigger fires. Is there a way to loop the message logic, or is that not really what YAML is for, and I should move to calling a python script? 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. Do you see anything wrong in the automation? 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. # Wait for IFTTT event or abort after specified timeout. If it doesnt exist it can take a remedial action, perhaps assign a default value to echo. input number I just not get it I cant set a sensor value and store ist there. # 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. Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. The following example shows how a single automation can control entities that arent related to each other but have in common the same trigger. Heres what I suggest for the automation. Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. Things like data, or entity_id, which are universal HA yaml arguments required in certain instances. 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? Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. If the light entity was modified outside the automation, leave it as it is. If its a universal HA argument, I cant find any data on it. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. attributes: See 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? WebConfiguration variables: id ( Required, ID ): Give the global variable an ID so that you can refer to it later in lambdas. 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. 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). scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions) switch script lights blueprint group. Just cooked this up on the flight San Diego - Toronto ;-) Extracts scripts logic into a script helper Scripts now accept variables to be passed in when turned on via service. using entities of type input_boolean etc. 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. Defaults to ro, which you can change by adding :rw to the end of the name. The following example will turn a list of lights: Other types are accepted as list items, for example, each item can be a Please show an example of what you want to achieve and Im sure well be able to help you. the template is rendered when the repeat step is reached. the actions are started at the same time. Variables in Automation - Configuration - Home Assistant Community Variables in Automation Configuration T1ppes November 3, 2021, 9:30am #1 I am trying to create an automation around a IKEA TRADFRI Shortcut Button. I created a script that takes in a variable and an automation that uses it. When it is used inside a repeat action, only the current iteration of the repeat loop will stop. By default, a sequence of actions will be halted when one of the actions in data: If I set the entity to {{ player_entity }} in the gui, it forces me to edit yaml. It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. entity_id: remote.harmony_remote The specific use case I have a concern with based on that config would be this: If this either doesnt happen to you or doesnt bother you based on how you intend to use your lights then feel free to ignore. sequential actions will work just fine. It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. Every individual action in a sequence can be disabled, without removing it. All sub-options are only used for creating a representation of this script in the UI. Youre correct, I thank you for your feedback! Yes, they support calling with that attribute and they simply ignore it. 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. No, unfortunately not. 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. # This action will not run, as it is disabled. Still have no luck in setting the variable even with the example. 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. Im at a bit of a loss. Have you tried to delete the icon attribute? Inside the if sequence the variables action will only alter the people variable for that sequence. Its possible the answer is there, Im not disputing that. You have to use data_template because the variables contain templates. They seem to work as Ive expected. # Multiple entities for which you want to perform the same action. solved the issue for me. Researching now. tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! By the way, I already test again with your recommendation, but not succeed. 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. Location information for the calendar event, if available. It starts the scripts, in the order listed, and continues as soon as the last script is started. Isnt it pissible to add some kind of tempate to add X per X minutes? I can parse the string in a specific action, but then it is not available to other actions. This could be used to pass data to another script awaiting 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. example: AAAHHH sequence: - data: message: Warning! It's not using the variable. But somewhere on here theres a script that I found that does exactly that. If one doesnt exist (and it wont since all entities in HA are prefixed with a domain) then the int filter will simply return 0. 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 yet another question. It uses a streamlined template to convert the Folder Sensors file_list attribute to a comma-delimited string. caution and only if you need it. {%- else -%} I think youre close, but you have some YAML formatting issues. It stops the sequence as well, but marks the automation Im on v116.2 and hass-variables are still working fine for me. The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to There are 4 songs, and I want to play all songs. You cant find it because it doesnt exist. WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? For example, Im making an assumption that repeat.index is 0 during the first iteration of the while loop. But I face another issue. an error is logged, and the automation or script run is marked as errored. or errors that Home Assistant does not handle. They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things 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. 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.
