Easy Trigger plug-in - Feature Requests

[alexbk66]

want to do a morning digest

Just FYI, I did that before - using HomeSeer and Google Home. But eventually I realised I never listened to it, just became annoying, so I removed it. And my wife was annoyed from the start...

How about a condition where if all devices in a group take on a value of x -- I was trying to use groups on Life360 location information to show ANY one home or ALL away from the house. Also perhaps all devices in a group take on a value of NOT x.

Its in the new beta 3.0.0.56. You can now set a condition to test if any or all devices in a group meet a particular expression. See post #402, above.

Ho did you do it? I used to have a basic version and nixed for the WAF. No WAF concerns now

I had multiple events, i.e. "Announce System Status", "Announce Weather", etc. And when the motion first detected in the living room in the morning - execute all events (check "Wait for Speech to Finish"!).
And the main trick was - last event said: "Hey Google, tell me about my day"

BTW, I even have event which says: "Hey Google, Play Peppa Pig on Youtube" - for my daughter

In version 3.0.0.55 available in the beta section of the updater I have added the following actions:
- Push Device's value to stack
- Pop Device's value from stack and Set Device
- Clear Stack

So, if you push the device value to stack and then set it to another value like that:

You can set back the device to its previous value like that:



Note that this will only work for device values that are both status and control, because when the plugin push a value to the stack it retrieves the current device's status value, if it is not a control value as well, the pop action will return an error as it will not be able to set the device.

Ok, call me blind as a bat but I can't find the Push, Pop and Clear functions after loading beta 56. I've gone through just about every functions and I just don't see it.

If you're not seeing these you might try installing again. Be sure to disable the PI before installing.

Ok, I did an loaded the Beta and it showed loaded on the plugin management page but apparently it didn't restart the plugin as I though always happened. I restarted it and the options now pop up. I'll remember this the next time I update a plugin that you can't guarantee it got restarted.

Honestly, I am now in the habit of following this process for ALL plug-in updates:

• Disable plug-in(s) to be updated
• Update plug-in(s)
• Enable plug-in(s)

Some plug-in update properly while running, but many do not. It is just easier and cleaner to follow the ritual.

I have 3.0.0.56 installed, but I don't see that trigger -- am I looking in the right place? (See attached).

Thanks!

Ignore my prior reply. Misread the question as related to push/pop.

Your screenshot is of Triggers (IF) and the new addition that jvm was referring to is a Condition (AND IF)

LOL, I have all sort of trouble mis-reading posts, especially when browsing late at night (or real early in the morning).

Now reading more carefully I think I can correctly answer your question. The Any/All appears to be available only as a condition (AND IF) but not a trigger (IF).

You're very gracious. My mental multi-threading is quite limited so these subforums with several concurrent conversations do trip me up!
