When the script is executed within an automation the trigger variable is available. 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. Bit can this be done easier? I would like to use a variable and set it to the value of an input_number, but got stuck. You can have a script, and say you have a service call within it, you can call a variable/argument that has never really been declared anywhere else and can call it whatever you want. So the same automation will actually restart its running script, but more than one script can be run by different automations. # Wait for sensor to change to 'on' up to 1 minute before continuing to execute. test_counter: message: 'Good morning, its Its also possible to create a dict in a jinja template and store that in a variable instead. 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). I just today learned about being able to add custom attributes via customize.yaml. 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. But all script objects share the same mode set in the script. The same is for example my sonos WebBoth work like script level variables. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. 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. https://github.com/rogro82/hass-variables. I dont think the configuration reloads that frequently though or would even see the change. 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. Also are you sure you want the mode of this script to be parallel? Variables created/modified in one parallelized action are not available I only used notify so I can see if it is parsing appropriately. Script with template that uses a entity as variable. 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). Ive run out of ideas. Hey, I tried no all kinds of options to save a variable and get it out but nothing is working not the snarky one there I manage to get variables in but I cant use them in code. State objects also contain context data which can be used to identify the user that caused a script or automation to execute. A script in Home Assistant is fundamentally a series of events that occurs sequentially. - alias: test_counter Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? 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. conditions also accepts a shorthand notation of a template condition. Scripts can be created via YAML configuration (described below) or via the UI. They wrap around a series of actions and simplify your home assistant automations and allow you to do so many cool things data: 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. The following tables show the available trigger data per platform. Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. These are run when you turn the script on. It has helped clarify my understanding. 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. Next question is how to set a variable as the value of itself multiplied with 3600. {%- elif is_state('sensor.to_work', 'canceled') -%} This has narrowed it down some. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. {{ light_entity }}.last_updated). Or silent may be specified to suppress the message from being emitted. See Script Modes. Let me know your test results and I can help you fix any additional issues. Imagine if the script was called like this without supplying an echo variable: 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. Automation: Allow using script sequence syntax for action Alexa: allow script syntax for Ive used very similar triggers and conditions before, so I think Im doing something wrong in the syntax to set the variable. This repeat form accepts a list of items to iterate over. Tg till jobb r {{ '' }} That basically looks like this (also sending the entity_id as well): 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`. Lets say I get the player variable set to kitchen tv. Use variables in your script dnikles (Dustin) February 18, 2021, 12:22pm #3 I am struggling with getting the syntax correct. The speaker just play the third song in few seconds, and jump to play the fourth song (the last one) until finish. 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? When I run the automation, nothing happens. Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. I already test it and it run already. environment: dict: A dictionary of environment variables to run the add-on with. This action can use the same triggers that are available in an automations trigger section. Heres what I suggest for the automation. Controls what happens when script is invoked while it is still running from one or more previous invocations. Location information for the calendar event, if available. Variables can be set manually using the var.set service or they can be set using templates or SQL queries which will be run automatically whenever a specified event fires. 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. reacting on the events the button sends). State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. Python would be easier for me but wasn't aware of the Appdaemon piece. When it is used inside a repeat action, only the current iteration of the repeat loop will stop. {%- else -%} This action allows you to select a sequence of other actions from a list of sequences. How do people know about these secret script variables/inputs? reacting on the events the button sends). 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 It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. Isnt it pissible to add some kind of tempate to add X per X minutes? If one action fails or errors, the other actions will keep running until 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. 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. you can then use state_attr(light_entity, 'last_updated'), this notation also avoids errors on startup, see here. The second variant is setting variables that are available when attaching a trigger when the trigger can contain templated values. choose instead. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. Is there a way to loop, if I wanted to do this for two or three cameras? A custom Home Assistant component for declaring and setting generic variable entities dynamically. In that case to target media_player is optional. 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? Yes, but it's kind of cumbersome. NOTE message: "{{ message }}" is run. turn on a light (when motion is detected); wait a few minutes based on a datetime input; as_timestamp(states.light. - variables: movie: {% set movies = command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] %} doesnt work - variables: movie: { { command.split (" on ") [0].split ("play ") [1] }} doesnt work. The State object. See Log Levels for a list of valid options. A parameter field used by this script. Marks this field as an advanced parameter. It should be picked up by the automation again only when I turn it off and motion is detected. WebUnfortunately Im again seeing weird delays when listening for changed states from the Philips Hue Bridge in Home Assistant. You can use these variables in a template. actions in the else part, you may want to consider using WebSmart Home Courses: https://courses.leonardosmarthomemakers.com/collectionsEveryone needs to start using scripts! - service: variable.set_variable - snarky-snark/home-assistant-variables. value_template: '{{ (variable.state | int) + 1 }}', Thank you, easy one that I missed the : =). Following is an example of the calling script not waiting. I am passing a string in a variable to a script. This makes sense. 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 can however define a new variable based on the other variable. Here is parts of the script: Community maintained list of different ways to use Home Assistant. WebScripts are a sequence of actions that Home Assistant will execute. I gain a lots knowledge from your help. Youre mixing up language directives (the reserved words or HA YAML arguments you described) with variable names. It is, but how can I do this templating so it is available throughout my entire script? attributes: Which then I call from my automations, like so: This approach works very well until now. Events can be used for many things. until the condition(s) evaluate to true. Within the script, you must convert them from string to the desired type. What gave me the impression universal arguments exist? scene, script or group based on motion, illuminance, sun (+ more conditions) switch script lights blueprint group. For all the different possibilities, have a look at the service calls page. Passing variables to scripts. 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. Each script will itself become an entity that can be called from the script service. 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. They seem to work as Ive expected. that sequence encounters an error. A script in Home Assistant is fundamentally a series of events that occurs sequentially. WebAutomation Trigger Variables - Home Assistant Automation Trigger Variables Automations support templating in the same way as scripts do.

The list of items Use variables in your script dnikles (Dustin) February 18, 2021, 12:22pm #3 I am struggling with getting the syntax correct. Am I right? If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted. text string(Optional) Text to present in the confirmation dialog. The output of file is string, but in script Im using it as a list. I wish HA would provide a way for temporary variables inside an automation that would persist across the actions. Got {{ ((variable.state | int) = (input_number.start_hour | int)) }}, value_template: "{{ states('input_number.start_hour') | int }}", value_template: {{ states(input_number.start_hour) | int }}. In my scripts.yml: warnme: mode: single fields: warning: description: The text to send. I hope I properly understood this mechanism. Because your first conditional has an issue, specifically this bit: This is always 0. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. example: AAAHHH sequence: - data: message: Warning! Seems like you would want it to be restart. In addition, we must subtract 1 from repeat.index when referencing the file list. Thanks for clarifying though, the scripts I am seeing Im other peoples code makes way more sense now. message: > For more information, refer to Passing variables to scripts. The variables action allows you to set/override variables that will be accessible by templates in actions after it. To do so, add enabled: false to the action. Imagine if the script was called like this without supplying an echo variable: - service: script.alexa_tts data: message: "Home Assistant has been started." They turn on as expected.

I wanted a wrapper script to play local sound files to my Google Home Nest Hub (whatever its called now). Script with template that uses a entity as variable? A reserved word like data is set in stone whereas a variables name is whatever you choose it to be. Everything explained in this topic can be found in the documentation. Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? Thank, this is a helpful example. action: I tried to create an automation: play music in the morning, music files was store in /local/morning. State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. 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. Note that the mp3 file is actually stored at: By the way, I already test again with your recommendation, but not succeed. This is the case of an IF-IF. 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? Please tell me Im understanding this correctly :). an event trigger. WebScripts are a sequence of actions that Home Assistant will execute. The choice of echo simply provides context for its intended purpose but, like you surmised, it could be almost anything, including purplecow. Home Assistant doesn't have variables. Home Assistant doesn't have variables. Configuration invalid Variables can be set manually using the var.set service or they can be set using templates or SQL queries which will be run automatically whenever a specified event fires. In this case, all service data will be made available as variables. Nesting is fully supported. Any errors that occur in the called scripts that cause them to abort will not affect the calling script. Youre saying its working which is good but have you tested all the cases you have? 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.
