I use Edge on both my Mac and my iPhone.

Drag and drop is not working on my iPhone because of touch regardless of Safari. It's the same on my touch enabled Dell laptop. It could be accomplished.
There are libraries like https://github.com/heyman/jquery-draggable-touch, but YMMV.

what kind of things do you need to send the USB port? because that's achievable with any language, and that's possibile with a Powershell script, to start with. but I think Excel VBA is not the right tool for the job and it's not easy to drive something from it.

@toggledbits thanks for the help. I will eventually improve this code and apply capabilities only if the device is somewhat new/changed or at startup. OpenSprinklerController is peculiar, but I think I could manage to achieve this result.

This code is shared among my controllers, I've modified them to better handle updates. Thanks!

therealdb

Thanks for the response.

Regarding response: true, I got the point. I'll try to build an OpenAIController based on this and release it in the next couple of days.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I don't have files with local mapping, but I always reload entities and their capabilities, I don't need to use refres*?
See this for reference:

Hi @toggledbits

I'd like to update my controllers with these new features, but I'm struggling to find any guidance in the docs - and in general to understand the context.

Could you please elaborate more? Thanks.

I just released a new update. I'll eventually move to a dedicated repo when it's stable. This update will specifically address a couple of too bright colors on rule editor. Just replace the file and remember to hard refresh the browser.

@noelab ciao! I randomize them in Reactor. Just use this:

messages[ floor( random() * len( messages) )

where messages is a local variable like this:

[
"Bentornato a casa",
"Casa, dolce casa!",
"Ciao!",
]

therealdb

@gwp1 thanks.

I'll fix other things along the way and balance some other contrasts. I usually thinker when it's dark, so less light is definitely better for me.

@toggledbits I'll send a couple of notes for suggestions regarding color animations that are apparently hard-coded in Javascript. Don't hate me

Thanks to @toggledbits for adding a custom CSS. I've started doing a darker Reactor style.

Here's the file: https://gist.github.com/dbochicchio/825098ac13b7f8cac22012eae37ff7ce

A couple of things are still too bright and I'll eventually catch-up. Just place it under your /config directory, naming the file as customstyles.css. Hard refresh your browser.

While I appreciate your faith, I'm genuinely wondering why ezlopi instead of tasmota or esphome. They're both more mature and easier to find help for, so my question.

Back in track, it's probably missing a mapping somewhere and @toggledbits needs to collect all the attributes of the device from reactor in order to support it.

therealdb

I found it, but I had to search inside the json's rules with VS code. I had a local variable with the same name of global one. Not easy to be found, since it was a local variable in a local expression and nothing was logged before to give me context. Thanks!

Hi @toggledbits,

I have lots of logs with this:

<Engine:ERR> Assignment to alarm ignored -- expression-driven global cannot be set by assignment

Any hints to where look at to avoid this? Thanks.

@toggledbits said in A couple of things about Reactor 24293:

Yellow has been dealt with. The remaining coloring is Bootstrap (5.3). I don't specify color directly here, I specify type or usage and it chooses color, and it adjusts color based on theme.

true, but these could be overridden by CSS variables.

[data-bs-theme=dark] {
    --bs-blue: #0b5ed7;   /* Darker Blue */
    --bs-indigo: #520dc2; /* Darker Indigo */
    --bs-purple: #59359e; /* Darker Purple */
    --bs-pink: #b02a6b;   /* Darker Pink */
    --bs-red: #b02a37;    /* Darker Red */
    --bs-orange: #dc6a0a; /* Darker Orange */
    --bs-yellow: #e0a800; /* Darker Yellow */
    --bs-green: #146c43;  /* Darker Green */
    --bs-teal: #169b7e;   /* Darker Teal */
}

Give it a try.

A couple of things for you @toggledbits, since you mentioned that this release has new features and some tweaks are expected.

Local expressions cannot be deleted. Pushing the X button has no effect for me.
When cloning an entity action, the result is strange (first is cloned one, second is the original action):
When changing the action on the cloned element, the params are added to the original one. See screenshot:
Dark theme has a couple of strange contrasts. One is visible in the previous screenshots (white text on yellow background). Another one is in groups (blue text on blue background):
Overall, I found blue, yellow, red and green (in buttons and forms) to be too bright.

On the bright side:

I love the new script action: thank you!
The dark theme is a great start to avoid getting blinded at night
I promise I'll try very soon the new features around actions. Thanks!

therealdb

@toggledbits yes sir. That why you're the master and I'm your humble follower

Because I know it's not trivial, I'm also asking for guidance on how to achieve something similar with what we have today. Thanks.

therealdb

ok, so, here's a photoshopped version of the ideal world I'm trying to describe:

The point here is that I don't want to do an HTTP request, I want to call an entity action and capture the result, if any, in a variable. Keep in mind that I'm describing an ideal world, and I'm OK to alternative solutions that still uses a Controller (and not an HTTP Action, that's temporary and I want to move to a custom Controller), wait for a response from a service, capture it and use in the same flow, if possible.

So, more like services than entity-oriented controller.

I hope this is better explained now. Thanks!

therealdb

No, I'm quite experienced and I know how a promise works

Anyway, the point here is different but I'm not able to fully explain myself. I'm out for work for a couple of days, but I'll post a photoshopped solution, so I hope things will be more clear.

My /ai/prompt endpoint encapsulate the logic to query OpenAI. That's great for me personally (so, not really shareable with the community), but that's another moving part in the system that could potentially fail. This is a simple web API that is proxying OpenAI (in this case Azure Open AI, but that's the same). It is acting as my controller, but it's not reusable, it's prone to errors and I think an OpenAIController will be better than this.

All that said:

But you can use the entity-based action response as if it was a variable. It is in many ways better, in fact, because there's a ton more code required in Reactor to make rule conditions responsive to variables than there is to make it responsive to attributes — attributes are very efficient.

So, you think that it's better to have two rules, one triggering the request and another looking for the response and watching the attributes (ie: response and response_id, tied to a request_id from the original prompt)?
