Resets the variable every day.

#1 Post by mvn77 » 17 Mar 2017, 18:47

Help! It is necessary to reset the variable "TotalCount" every day (Device - Pulse Counter)
Rules -

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time=All,20:00 do
 [rain#TotalCount] = 0
endon
On Clock#Time=All,8:00 do
 [rain#TotalCount] = 0
endon
Rule does not work
log-
Fri Mar 17 20:00:02 2017: 192.168.0.51: <7>ESP Unit: 0 : EVENT: Clock#Time=Fri,20:00
Fri Mar 17 20:00:02 2017: 192.168.0.51: <7>ESP Unit: 0 : ACT : 1.40 = 0

Bad decision -

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time=All,20:00 do
reboot
endon
On Clock#Time=All,8:00 do
reboot
endon
Do you have any other suggestions?

Have you tried TaskValueSet command?( store variable in Dummy device, and 2.. task) then read dummy rather than sensor value


Like

On pulse#total do
TaskValueSet 2,1,[pulse#total]
End on

On Clock #Time=all, 20:00 do

TaskValueSet 2,1,0
Endon

I thought. But with the next record, he will write down the "pulse#total" value into the variable.
How much I understood in rules it is impossible to work with variables - to subtract, to multiply ....

What happens? Bootloop for a minute I guess. In this case a workaround is to set a timer and reboot when it's 20:01.

You can do basic calculations in rules like this:

Code: Select all

TaskValueSet 4,3,[test#a]-[test#b]
So store your a bias-pulsecount once a day in one variable, substract that from the actual pulsecount into another dummyvalue and publish this.

Can create a rule for calculating RAINRATE for DOMOTICZ? RAINRATE = amount of rain in last hour

Always a joy. ;)

"Hourly rain" would be easy with the same principle using a timer that triggers every 60 minutes but that would only provide a measurement for every full hour. An instant (every minute) "last 60 minutes" would require to store 60 values and awefullly hacky rules- too much for espeasy - as mentioned earlier I don't use domoticz nor know its cababilities but think this kind of statisic is definately a job for the controler.

You could compromise something with 15 minute intervalls using the 4 availible values of a single dummy device, still a lot of fiddling though.

Hi!
I take these old posts to be helped:
sorry but I'm very inexperienced

I would like to reset my pulse counter variable at 00:01 every day
"Total" with the TaskValueSet rule

"Sensors": [
{
"TaskName": "counter",
"Count": 0.00,
"Total": 2591.75, <<<<<<<<<<<< THIS
"Time": 27470.00
},
{
"TaskName": "outside temperature",
"Temperature": 21.19
}

but I don't understand how to do it ... someone can help me
thank you

Use rule and the command TaskValueSet.

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time=All,00:01 Do
  TaskValueSet,TaskNo,ValueNo,Value
EndOn
If your device is on task number 4 (as an example) and the total is on value number 3 your rule would be looking like this:

Code: Select all

On Clock#Time=All,00:01 Do
  TaskValueSet,4,3,0
EndOn
And that is already explained further up in this topic.

Thanks for the reply.
I apologize if I ask a trivial question, but I am inexperienced ..
how can I then have the new value as a json output?

To trigger the value change event you can do the same but change the command to TaskValueSetAndRun.

I entered the "TaskValueSetAndRun" command with rule

On Clock # Time = All, 21: 28 do
  TaskValueSetAndRun, 1,2,0
Endon

  but the "Total" value of the pulser counter device does not change

Re: Resets the variable every day.

#16 Post by novembre62 » 11 May 2019, 14:26

there are no spaces

in image my device

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZiPhKf ... dgXug/view

then
On Clock#Time=All,12:09 Do
TaskValueSetAndRun,1,2,0
EndOn

it's correct ?

the "TaskValueSetAndRun" command, should change the "Total" value of my device to 0 at the set time and then continue counting until the next set time ?????
Do not do anything else ... I read in the tutorial rules that a Dummy Device needs ... but I don't know how to do it

I use the value of my "Total" device as a JSON output, which I read in a monitoring system (Metern) in this way http://192.168.1.150/json?tasknr=1
It is a water meter and I would like to reset the value every day at 00:01
I apologize for my inexperience

Maybe try the TaskValueSet followed be a TaskRun instead...

Code: Select all

...
  TaskValueSet,1,2,0
  TaskRun,1
...

If that isn't working it might be a bug.

Ok, I guess that TaskValueSet is the command not working then. Until we have fixed it you may do a reboot once at 00:01?

but I didn't understand what to do

The other example you posted is to show how you can do calculations. That's not what you're asking about. It's a bug and we should fix it. But in the meantime, do the reboot.

There still is a space in the line of the rules

Code: Select all

TaskValueSet, 1,2,0
And the suggestion made by Jimmy to do the reboot will probably not work (anymore) in the more recent builds.
I (quite recently) fixed a bug, which does now keep track of the last values of plugins after a reboot. (as long as the board was powered)
So I expect the plugin to continue counting after a crash or reboot.

My suggestion,
at 00.01
read the value
and
subtract that value
30+ ESP units for production and test. Ranging from control of heating equipment, flow sensing, floor temp sensing, energy calculation, floor thermostat, water usage, to an interactive "fun box" for my grandson. Mainly Wemos D1.
