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 This causes it only to be shown in the UI, when the user has advanced mode enabled. The template is re-evaluated whenever an entity ID that it references changes state. The initial value of repeat.index is 1 (not 0). It looks like the problem isn't in the script, but in the automation. Variables have local scope. It's not using the variable. sequential actions will work just fine. Ive read the documentation on scripts but, if Im being honest, I cant make too terribly much of the documentation yet. The speaker just play the third song in few seconds, and jump to play the fourth song (the last one) until finish. automation: A custom Home Assistant component for declaring and setting generic variable entities dynamically. 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. 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? Try this: Thank you so much it was my indentation, I didnt notice! 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? The basics are already working (i.e. Variables that will be available inside your templates. All of this helps other users to find answers to similar questions about passing variable to scripts. This is my last try: And this is the error message from the log: 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 pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. reacting on the events the button sends). Tried this one: With this error message: Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. - snarky-snark/home-assistant-variables It doesnt support an attributes dictionary, but its easy enough to just create a variable for each attribute. Indentation is wrong and yiu dont need the set command. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. This parses out movie and player for me, but if I have any other actions they are not available. Yes, but it's kind of cumbersome. Script with template that uses a entity as variable. If instllt EDIT: I didnt realize you couldnt use templates for entity_id in a state condition. No, you cant change the variable directly. 1 Like Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. WebSmart Home Courses: https://courses.leonardosmarthomemakers.com/collectionsEveryone needs to start using scripts! I suspect there may be other issues as well. If Im wrong about that, then we will have to subtract 1 from repeat.index when referencing the file list. The output of file is string, but in script Im using it as a list. To do so, add enabled: false to the action. Im at a bit of a loss. I have finally a working solution which employs turning off the automation altogether while its not supposed to handle the light. Because, as I mentioned, I suspect there are other problems and Im currently trying to reproduce your scripts on my system to identify them. - alias: test_counter EDIT This action allows you to fire an event. example: AAAHHH sequence: - data: message: Warning! Templating is a powerful feature that allows you to control information going into and out of the system. I cant get it to set the variable at all right now and Im not sure why. Thank, this is a helpful example. minuter 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? By default, all sequences of actions in Home Assistant run sequentially. and optionally supports running other sequence when the condition didnt You can use these variables in a template. What are you referring to when you say secret script variables/inputs? In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. At least thats my understanding. You can set it to true if youd like to continue the action where: bedroom Scripts can be created via YAML configuration (described below) or via the UI. # 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. We support different syntaxes for a delay as shown below. it also uses split to convert file to a list then references a list item using repeat.index. Im not sure if my intentions are clear enough from my description. The actions will be started in parallel, but They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things exemptions list(Optional) List of exemptionobjects. # Multiple entities for which you want to perform the same action. Ive used very similar triggers and conditions before, so I think Im doing something wrong in the syntax to set the variable. While it sounds attractive to parallelize, most of the time, just the regular - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. When it is used inside a choose action, only the actions within that choose will stop. Every individual action in a sequence can be disabled, without removing it. 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. If so you could customize your light entities using customize.yaml. Since it's Python, you can use any variables Python can. volume: 0.04 Defaults to ro, which you can change by adding :rw to the end of the name. When the script is executed within an automation the trigger variable is available. The example below demonstrates that: Running actions in parallel can be helpful in many cases, but use it with Here is a fresh copy of the script with the modifications: Its absolutely perfect now. 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]. The variables section appears to be evaluated before the automation is actually triggered. Thats to confirm the script was passed a variable named echo. false. For example, Im making an assumption that repeat.index is 0 during the first iteration of the while loop. dev 1 Like That said, I'm almost done moving all of my automations off Home Assistant and onto AppDaemon. [light_entity].last_updated), as_timestamp(states.light.~light_entity~.last_updated). data: In case I wasnt clear, I was suggesting leave all this, just replace the first few steps of your script with my choose block. I always set the icon and friendly_name via customize.yaml This make the first song just is played in few seconds. attributes: 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`. An optional default sequence can be included which will be run only if none of the sequences from the list are run. And from my tests its behaving as expected. To pass variables to the script with this service, call it with the desired variables: The other way is calling the script as a service directly. They seem to work as Ive expected. I didnt realize I couldnt mark multiple. For example: A variable named repeat is defined within the repeat action (i.e., it is available inside sequence, while & until.) Hello. Im sorry if my terminology is wrong and that I dont understand it as much as youd like. environment: dict: A dictionary of environment variables to run the add-on with. For example, argument1. See Available-Trigger-Data. The condition action only stops executing the current sequence block. Please note that continue_on_error will not suppress/ignore misconfiguration I havent tested it yet so it may require additional adjustments. There is also an error option, to indicate we are stopping because of Why use Scripts? The most important one is the action to call a service. By default, a sequence of actions will be halted when one of the actions in For all I know, echo could be tied to the amazon integration. 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. # Perform some other steps here while second script runs # Now wait for called script to complete. 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. WebHome Assistant architecture, especially states. This is not always needed, for example, if the sequence of actions doesnt rely using entities of type input_boolean etc. an error is logged, and the automation or script run is marked as errored. data: It's not using the variable. When you set your argument in the call of the script you can use that in the called script as a variable. See Automation Trigger. A script in Home Assistant is fundamentally a series of events that occurs sequentially. If I set the entity to {{ player_entity }} in the gui, it forces me to edit yaml. I dont think the configuration reloads that frequently though or would even see the change. All previously defined trigger variables, variables and script variables are passed to the trigger. At least thats my understanding. Possible values: config, ssl, addons, backup, share or media. The script is parallel but the automations are restart. There are 4 songs, and I want to play all songs. Theres no universal HA argument. You can set continue_on_error for those cases on such an action. # supports seconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours. Start a new run after all previous runs complete. 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. Although if you do move again then the script will start running again. The sequence will be run as long as the condition(s) evaluate to true. 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`. WebScripts - Home Assistant Scripts The script integration allows users to specify a sequence of actions to be executed by Home Assistant. Then in your script you could pull the name of the automation from the attributes of the light_entity. Scripts may also use a shortcut syntax for activating scenes instead of calling the scene.turn_on service. - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work. Paulus just changed from {{ trigger.from_state.state }}, notify. {% set last_update = as_timestamp(states.light. Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. I wonder if the following is possible within HA, because it would make things a lot easier. 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. Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. Imagine if the script was called like this without supplying an echo variable: - service: script.alexa_tts data: message: "Home Assistant has been started." 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]. This is the case of an IF-IF. WebScripts are a sequence of actions that Home Assistant will execute. Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do. The choose action can be used like an if/then/elseif/then/else statement. No, unfortunately not. Since it's Python, you can use any variables Python can. A description of this of this script parameter. {%- else -%} A script in Home Assistant is fundamentally a series of events that occurs sequentially. Timedelta object how long state has been to state, if any. This action allows you to repeat a sequence of other actions. - service: tts.amazon_polly_say Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. 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. Thank Taras. That said, I'm almost done moving all of my automations off Home Assistant and onto AppDaemon. The basics are already working (i.e. If you need to periodically re-evaluate the template, reference a sensor from the Time and Date component that will update minutely or daily. Do you see anything wrong in the automation? I wish HA would provide a way for temporary variables inside an automation that would persist across the actions. NOTE In the meantime I found a final and better solution using wait_template. The State object. The script will continue whenever any of the triggers fires. See I have excatly the same issue. The State object. You can also get the script to abort after the timeout by using optional continue_on_timeout: false.

WebCommunity maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. value: 0 Why use Scripts? These are run when you turn the script on. 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. Home Assistant. This form accepts a count value. Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. If not, Im sorry. # If called again while still running (probably in delay step), start over. The variables action allows you to set/override variables that will be accessible by templates in actions after it. solved the issue for me. In my scripts.yml: warnme: mode: single fields: warning: description: The text to send. You cant find it because it doesnt exist. Yes, thats intended. 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. on each other and order doesnt matter. The other potential issue I see is with your automation_last_triggered variable. Lets say command=play die hard on living room tv. Automation: Allow using script sequence syntax for action Alexa: allow script syntax for A description of the script that will be displayed in the Services tab under Developer Tools. Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. As part of the service, variables can be passed along to a script so they become available within templates in that script. Because your first conditional has an issue, specifically this bit: This is always 0. That seems like a good thing since it means it turns the light off for you when you walk away, right? 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. 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. Not only that, because not all my lights support brightness. Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. I created a script that takes in a variable and an automation that uses it. Its possible the answer is there, Im not disputing that. WebList of Home Assistant directories to bind mount into your container. Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. The sequence of actions is specified using the Home Assistant Script Syntax. # This action will not run, as it is disabled. Timeout has the same syntax as delay, and like delay, also accepts templates. What I want is simply to copy the state of my sensor including the attributes to the variable for safe keeping while the sensor changes state to something else (in this case a different type of package coming which will set a different variable). Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. Not sure you need scripts here; I would think you could just do this directly in the action part of an automation. I also saw that the variables section is evaluated before trigger, and its exactly what I need, for this reason: if the light entity was updated by the automation, only them re-enter the automation again (mode: restart) and keep the light on. 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. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. 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? Since it's Python, you can use any variables Python can. { { warning }} target: - 'channelid' service: notify.discord They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things If one action fails or errors, the other actions will keep running until The basics are already working (i.e. I now need to set another variable, player_entity to media_player.kitchen_tv, based on having received kitchen tv. While executing a script you can add a condition in the main sequence to stop further execution. The following example will turn a list of lights: Other types are accepted as list items, for example, each item can be a Trying to use template conditional to set variable in script Configuration The variables section appears to be evaluated before the automation is actually triggered. This action supports nesting, however, if you find yourself using nested if-then A parameter field used by this script. They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things WebConfiguration Variables Looking for your configuration file? Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? The following tables show the available trigger data per platform. See Available-Trigger-Data. So for lights that dont have brightness I dont specify that parameter to the script, so it will default to 100. Is there a way to loop, if I wanted to do this for two or three cameras? Any YAML is valid. A selector defines how the input is displayed in the frontend UI. they too have finished or errored. 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.
