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? Variables that will be available inside your templates. See Script Modes. Then, by writing that into your script, you have essentially created argument that can be passed when calling the variable. But if not, then you could do this: Hi all Im having a bit of a problem setting these variables. The template variable this is also available when evaluating any trigger_variables declared in the configuration. 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. sequence. Script with template that uses a entity as variable. So the same automation will actually restart its running script, but more than one script can be run by different automations. Nesting is fully supported. How do people know about these secret script variables/inputs? There is also an error option, to indicate we are stopping because of There are two ways to achieve this. If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted.

A lists items are indexed starting with zero. I think youre close, but you have some YAML formatting issues. Youre welcome but you should give the Solution tag to Burningstones post because he answered your original question first. Hello. 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. - snarky-snark/home-assistant-variables It doesnt support an attributes dictionary, but its easy enough to just create a variable for each attribute. I now need to set another variable, player_entity to media_player.kitchen_tv, based on having received kitchen tv. The other note you make is actually intentional. The basics are already working (i.e. It uses pure Python for the automations, and YAML just for passing static data in to your automations. Is this something the author defined, or a universal HA argument? 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. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. notify_train_status: If you pass the full entity id (incl. To do so, add enabled: false to the action. This is my problem. 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. The following script converts number_of_files to an integer before it compares it to repeat.index. 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. # Multiple entities for which you want to perform the same action. Automation: Add a trigger variable that is available to templates when processing action part. State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. Start a new, independent run in parallel with previous runs. Passing variables to scripts. Here are several other examples where the solution is to use data_template: Script variable as template? The second variant is setting variables that are available when attaching a trigger when the trigger can contain templated values. In pyscript, you can create persistent variables. The stop action takes a text as input explaining the reason for halting the It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. environment: dict: A dictionary of environment variables to run the add-on with. 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 }}. By default, a sequence of actions will be halted when one of the actions in Got None. 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. No, unfortunately not. It contains the following fields: This action allow you to conditionally (if) run a sequence of actions (then) I have spoken too soon and only did a few number of tests which did not reveal all issues. The following automation example shows how to capture the custom event event_light_state_changed with an Event Automation Trigger, and retrieve corresponding entity_id that was passed as the event trigger data, see Available-Trigger-Data for more details. instllt Why use Scripts? Scripts are available as an entity through the standalone Script component but can also be embedded in automations and Alexa/Amazon Echo configurations. Since the script running from the first movement is eventually just going to timeout and then turn off the lights, regardless of the other instances running in parallel for additional movement. The first conditions/sequence pair is like the if/then, and can be used just by itself. A custom Home Assistant component for declaring and setting generic variable entities dynamically. State variables are bound to Python variables and services are callable as Python functions, so its easy and concise to implement logic. In addition, it will place a link below your first post that leads to the Solution post. reacting on the events the button sends). you can then use state_attr(light_entity, 'last_updated'), this notation also avoids errors on startup, see here. Timedelta object with offset to the event, if any. For more information, refer to Passing variables to scripts. In addition to the Home Assistant template extensions available to scripts, the trigger and this template variables are available. That basically looks like this (also sending the entity_id as well): Ill have to reproduce what youve created on my test system before I can confirm my suspicion. See also script variables for how to define variables accessible in the entire script. Please be advised that I have set the condition template to check if repeat.index is less than number_of_files (as opposed to less than or equal to). # This action will not run, as it is disabled. NOTE Ive read the documentation on scripts but, if Im being honest, I cant make too terribly much of the documentation yet. # Wait for sensor to change to 'on' up to 1 minute before continuing to execute. choose instead. tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! 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. sequence: Yes, but it's kind of cumbersome. The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to So if you have 4 songs in the list, they are referenced 0, 1, 2, and 3. sequential actions will work just fine. In addition, we must subtract 1 from repeat.index when referencing the file list. {%- endif -%}. 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. Templating is a powerful feature that allows you to control information going into and out of the system. In the meantime I found a final and better solution using wait_template. This action can use the same triggers that are available in an automations trigger section. Also are you sure you want the mode of this script to be parallel ? Thanks for the tip on the Appdaemon. So, let me ask you this-- in alexa_tts script, you have the if echo is defined logic. The action part could be inside a script or an automation. They turn on as expected.

See Automation Trigger. I wonder if the following is possible within HA, because it would make things a lot easier. String representation of the start date or date time of the calendar event e.g. What gave you the impression such a concept exists in Home Assistant? Is that what you want or did you want it to be set to essentially now ()? Index of the trigger. For example: This form accepts a list of conditions that are evaluated after each time the sequence Because your first conditional has an issue, specifically this bit: This is always 0. (See the conditions page for available options and how multiple conditions are handled.) The result is saved in persistent fields. In case I wasnt clear, I was suggesting leave all this, just replace the first few steps of your script with my choose block. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component. I suspect there may be other issues as well. Events can be used for many things. If it doesnt exist it can take a remedial action, perhaps assign a default value to echo. Things like data, or entity_id, which are universal HA yaml arguments required in certain instances. 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.
