Rule help

[trumee]

Hello,

I am using MQTT import plugin to read a topic and display its value on OLED. The import works fine but displaying the value of the variable doesnt work,

Code: Select all

on motor#ONOFFSTATE do

  if [motor#ONOFFSTATE]>0
     OLEDCMD,on
     OLED,3,1,Motor ON
     OLED,4,1,Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]  //DOESNT WORK
  else
     OLED,3,1,Motor OFF
     OLED,4,1,Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]  //DOESNT WORK
  endif
     OLED,1,1, %systm_hm_am%
endon

What is the right way of display MQTT topic in a rule?

Thanks

You could try setting it in quotes, like this:
OLED,4,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"

Problem with rules parsing is that the space is also a parameter separator.

N.B. this quotes feature is added very recently. Not sure if it will work like this, but you could try.

Unfortunately, that did not work. The error was , Command unknown ". The quotes was not accepted. I am running ESP_Easy_mega-20180804_normal_ESP8266_4096.bin

Show us the exact command you tried.

I am using the following rule,

Code: Select all

On System#Boot do    //When the ESP boots, do
OLEDCMD,clear
endon

on motor#ONOFFSTATE do

  if [motor#ONOFFSTATE]>0
     OLEDCMD,on
     OLED,2,1,"Motor ON"
     OLED,3,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"
     
  else
     OLED,2,1,"Motor OFF"
     OLED,3,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"

  endif

endon

On switching on the nodemcu I get a single message "MOTOR OFF", I dont get the second line which should say, "MOTOR 0".

Code: Select all

On System#Boot do    //When the ESP boots, do
OLEDCMD,clear
endon

on motor#ONOFFSTATE do
  if [motor#ONOFFSTATE]>0
     OLEDCMD,on
     OLEDCMD,2,1,"Motor ON"
     OLEDCMD,3,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"
  else
     OLEDCMD,2,1,"Motor OFF"
     OLEDCMD,3,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"
  endif
endon

With your rule i get an error in the log,

Code: Select all

7156: EVENT: motor#ONOFFSTATE=1.00

Looking at this page, OLEDCMD only accepts 1 arguement.

[grovkillen]

Ah, sorry.

I will do some testing once I get my own OLED test unit set up.

[trumee]

@grovkillen, any luck?

[grovkillen]

@grovkillen, any luck?

Haven't gotten around to test it just yet... sorry! Will try to find time next week.

[trumee]

@grovkillen ok, looking forward to it.
