Logon screen timeout

[toggledbits]

Still on the to-do list, but I think I'm close to figuring out what I want it to do. These things get harder with time: the more people use them, the more etched in stone they become, so making a "first guess" and completely changing things later isn't really something I want to do a lot of. If I can get something good on the first try, that's the way...

Here's what I'm thinking...

First, the matchEntities() function would quickly narrow down the set, in a manner similar to the filters on the Entities page and the Entity Picker:

    living_room_sensors = matchEntities( { controller: 'vera', capability: [ 'binary_sensor', 'value_sensor'' ], group: 'Living Room' } )

This would return an array of entities. From here, you could use an each statement to further filter any deep refinements. This expression would take the above array of sensors in the Living Room and pick out those that are battery powered and have battery level under 50%:

    low_battery_living_room = each e in living_room_sensors: e.attributes.battery_power?.level <= 0.5 ? e : null

I'm liking this approach because the function could do the bulk reduction of potential hundreds of entities down to a manageable list, and then the final filtering of the list can be done with expressions for maximum flexibility.

Any thoughts about that?

@toggledbits That would do it for me, is the matchEntities() function already available in Expressions? I get no error but no matter what I do the Expression always returns an empty array.
I'd expect this to contain at least something:

matchEntities( { controller: 'vera', capability: 'humidity_sensor' } )

[toggledbits]

No, it's not yet available.

[Crille]

Ah, that explains a lot I like the idea, it seems very flexible.

[Crille]

@toggledbits Thanks, the new matchEntities() is brilliant. Now we can have dynamic arrays of devices.

[toggledbits]

@crille said in Rule for devices battery level ?:

Now we can have dynamic arrays of devices.

Tell me about that...

[Crille]

@toggledbits Inspired by this topic I created a rule with similar expressions to monitor/notify x_ezlo_device.reachable for all my Ezlo devices. Instead of managing a static array, like the battery_device_list in this topic, the expression matchEntities( {capability: 'x_ezlo_device'} ) generates a list of devices that is dynamically updated if devices are added or removed from the controller.

[tunnus]

@toggledbits I'm testing this new function, but somehow it does not show all the devices I'm expecting it to show. See examples below

Array is empty, although it should contain one device:

Strange, as device 216 definitely has capability "x_vera_device"

[toggledbits]

One of the issues I see in matchEntities() as it currently works is that it returns an array of entity objects with attribute values, but it does not update that array when any of the returned entities' attributes or other values changes. So it's certain, then, that the attributes will go stale in the result array.

For the next build, I will change the definition of this function to return canonical entity IDs only, rather than entity objects, so you will have to use getEntity() in your each over the results, as you did with your test_array example, and this will ensure that you are always looking at the latest attributes. You can test this theory now by modifying your each for d_failure_list to use getEntity( id.canonical_id ).

[tunnus]

@toggledbits did what you suggested, but situation didn't really change, array is still empty:

[toggledbits]

Can you show the entity detail for device 216 please?

[Crille]

@tunnus I had some issues as well. I got an empty array and when tried getEntity() I got some "Type Error". Was sure I was doing something wrong but I restarted Reactor and copied the same expression to a new one and suddenly it worked.
@toggledbits I also noticed the array isn't updated when entity changed so I pulse the trigger every minute to update it. Will change to getEntity() for next update.

[toggledbits]

Perfect! Thank you. I think I see what's going on. New build coming later today...

[tunnus]

@toggledbits thanks Patrick! Works nicely

[cw-kid]

How do I change my rule for devices with low batteries to use a dynamic array instead of the static manual array I am using currently ?

battery_device_list:

Thanks

[Ian]

@cw-kid

The first expression produces an array that includes all battery powered entities across all controllers.

The second restricts the results to a specific controller.

[cw-kid]

Ian thank you. I thought it would be the battery_power capability, but I didn't know how to write that in an expression. I will try it now.

[cw-kid]

I think this may work then, I just need to edit my existing rule:

matchEntities ({controller: 'vera', capability: ['battery_power']})

EDITED rule:

[Crille]

@cw-kid You could also do all that in one expression if you prefer and are not using the other ones for anything else.

join( 
  each id in matchEntities( { controller: 'vera', capability: 'battery_power' } ): do
    device=getEntity( id ), 
    device.attributes.battery_power.level > 0.1 ? null : device.name + " at " + device.attributes.battery_power.level * 100 + " percent"
  done, ", " )
