Help With Rules

Message

potzkiin · #1 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 09:21

hello,
im trying to setup a physical SW with Relay and Mqtt.

so far i managed to control relay via the switch
the problem is when i controlling via mqtt the sw status remain as it was before and it need 2 pulses to sync to the current status and toggle the relay..

this is the rule im using:
on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

on sw1#sw1 do
if [sw1#sw1]=0
gpio,0,1
gpio,16,1
else
gpio,0,0
gpio,16,0
endif
endon

if anyone can helo make the rule better so the mqtt command will sync the button to correct status as well?

Code: Select all

on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

on sw1#sw1 do
 Event,toggleSwitch
endon

On toggleSwitch Do
 if [sw1#sw1]=0
  gpio,0,1
  gpio,16,1
 else
  gpio,0,0
  gpio,16,0
 endif
EndOn

Trigger using MQTT by sending "Event, toggleSwitch" on the topic ending with "cmd". See more about the in the rules tutorials.

im using
"payload": "GPIO,0,1 or 0",
"topic": "/test/cmd"

that's controlling the relay...but button get out of sync....

grovkillen · #4 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 10:35

So use my example? That is what making it stay in sync, by letting the unit itself handle the state. Thus the event name "toggle" switch.

potzkiin · #5 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 11:12

yes i try it and i got the same results..

potzkiin · #6 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 11:26

as i understand i need some rule to listen to my mqtt command an execute the switch mode according to the mqtt topic...

grovkillen · #7 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 11:51

Please be more informative. The rule I posted should work but you may please post your entire setup since I don't know what gpio 0 is doing for example. And what is the exact topic and payload you're sending? What is the unit name etc etc.

potzkiin · #8 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 12:21

rule:
on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

on sw1#sw1 do
Event,toggleSwitch
endon

On toggleSwitch Do
if [sw1#sw1]=0
gpio,0,1
gpio,16,1
else
gpio,0,0
gpio,16,0
endif
EndOn

i don't want to use switch toggle in mqtt.. as i want to be able to use mqtt set 1 or 0 or on or off.

grovkillen · #9 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 12:27

If you want to be able to set given 1 or 0 I suggest you use event values for that and tweak my rules to work with them. See wiki please.

grovkillen · #10 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 12:28

Because then you can set

GPIO,16,%eventvalue%

potzkiin · #11 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 13:45

if you can help me with the rule? im pretty new to this..

grovkillen · #12 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 14:00

First of all. I suggest you only monitor the GPIO state of the relay by assigning it to a "Generic Switch" task. Then you can act upon the switch being pressed and if the relay switch is 0 then it will turn to 1 if you use the toggleSwitch example I suggested.

If you want to also be able to turn the relay on or off specifically you can use another event called setSwitch and pass along a 1 or a 0. You will find this if you study the wiki.

potzkiin · #13 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 14:34

went trough the wiki for days..can find a solution.
i found not only me struggling with this issue over the net..

potzkiin · #14 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 14:55

can i do something like this?
wherever the relay togle the input SW change also?

on Relay01#Relay01 do
if [Relay01#Relay01]=0
gpio,12,0
elese
gpio,12,1
endif
endon

i really dont know how to do what you suggested.

grovkillen · #15 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 15:19

You should try this then.

Code: Select all

On Switch01#State Do
 Event,toggleRelay
EndOn

On toggleRelay Do
 if [Relay01#State]=0
  event,setRelay,1
 else
  event,setRelay,0
 endif
EndOn

On setRelay Do
 GPIO,12,%eventvalue%
EndOn

I suggest you rename the value name to something like "State" since it's bad practice to use the same name for task name and value name.

By using this you can use topic /test/cmd (or whatever your MQTT controller settings are) and send one of three different payloads:

Code: Select all

event,toggleRelay
event,setRelay,1
event,setRelay,0

potzkiin · #16 Post by **potzkiin** » 04 Sep 2018, 16:13

First Thnaks for all your effort to help is much appreciated!
i changed the value to "State" as you suggested

also the rule to fit my names...but i guessing i did something wrong because there is no switch action or mqtt action with event,toggeleRelay01

on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

On sw1#State Do
Event,toggleRelay01
EndOn

On toggleRelay01 Do
if [Relay01#State]=0
event,setRelay01,1
elese
event,setRelay01,0
endif
EndOn

On setRelay01 Do
GPIO,12,%eventvalue%
EndOn

grovkillen · #17 Post by **grovkillen** » 04 Sep 2018, 17:21

Code: Select all

toggeleRelay01

Check spelling.

I also see that I misspelled "else" with "elese". I have updated the previous post now.

TD-er · #18 Post by **TD-er** » 04 Sep 2018, 20:28

Please note that not all GPIO pins are behaving the same.
GPIO0 and 16 are 'special ones'.

- GPIO 0-15 all have a built-in pull-up resistor, just like in an Arduino. GPIO16 has a built-in pull-down resistor.
- GPIO15 is always pulled low, so you can’t use the internal pull-up resistor. You have to keep this in mind when using GPIO15 as an input to read a switch or connect it to a device with an open-collector (or open-drain) output, like I²C.
- GPIO0 is pulled high during normal operation, so you can’t use it as a Hi-Z input.
- GPIO2 can’t be low at boot, so you can’t connect a switch to it.

i attached the log, i can see the commands but no relay toggle.

grovkillen · #21 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Sep 2018, 08:33

Sorry, totally my fault. I'm writing these messages on my phone in the forest of northern Sweden (hunting moose).

Correct syntax for event value is it use "="

Code: Select all

On Switch01#State Do
 Event,toggleRelay
EndOn

On toggleRelay Do
 if [Relay01#State]=0
  event,setRelay=1
 else
  event,setRelay=0
 endif
EndOn

On setRelay Do
 GPIO,12,%eventvalue%
EndOn

And commands over MQTT should be these:

Code: Select all

event,toggleRelay
event,setRelay=1
event,setRelay=0

potzkiin · #22 Post by **potzkiin** » 05 Sep 2018, 09:47

your activity on the woods sound like so much fun

....in my place it is not allowed,

any way...
when i call the mqtt with event,setRelay01=1 i can see the rule respond but no relay toggle and also there is no switch action.(even no mqtt topic when pressing on the sw1)

this is my rule:

on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

On sw1#State Do
Event,toggleRelay01
EndOn

On toggleRelay01 Do
if [Relay01#State]=0
Event,setRelay01=1
else
Event,setRelay01=0
endif
EndOn

On setRelay01 Do
GPIO,12,%eventvalue%
EndOn

grovkillen · #23 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Sep 2018, 10:16

It looks like the rules I provided are working as they should. But you now suggest that you want a switch press to send a MQTT message as well, news to me. You do that with the publish command and you can place that in the sw1#State event.

Regarding the relay not responding, are you sure it's connected to GPIO 12? And is the relay01 task correctly configured with name and GPIO?

grovkillen · #24 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Sep 2018, 10:21

I see now that your running ancient version R147. The code I provide are for later releases. Sorry! Dude, we really need a better forum that can snatch the info from the unit so we don't do mistakes like this.

potzkiin · #25 Post by **potzkiin** » 05 Sep 2018, 18:42

What stable version do you suggest?

grovkillen · #26 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Sep 2018, 18:44

Latest nightly https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases

grovkillen · #27 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Sep 2018, 18:45

But you should always test on a none production unit, so everything is working all right before you start using it for real

potzkiin · #28 Post by **potzkiin** » 05 Sep 2018, 18:45

Thanks! Will upload tommorow:-)

potzkiin · #29 Post by **potzkiin** » 06 Sep 2018, 13:35

Hi again.
i updated the version. to Release mega-20180904
but got the same problem.

1.the SW1 won't toggle the relay.(i cant see any log for switch press either..)
its seems that this rule:
"On setRelay01 Do
GPIO,12,%eventvalue%
EndOn"
when setting it to GPIO 12 where the switch is connected it making the value constant 1 or 0 and make it ignoring the actual input of the switch.
if i remove the GPIO12 from this rule the sw will respond to switch press. but relay wont toggle.

2.mqtt command event,setRelay01=1 change the status of SW1 but wont toggle the relay.

grovkillen · #30 Post by **grovkillen** » 06 Sep 2018, 17:19

The fact that the MQTT command is setting the switch state and not the relay suggest to me that the GPIO is mixed up.

potzkiin · #31 Post by **potzkiin** » 06 Sep 2018, 17:45

Hi,
i uploaded the devices and rule.
gpio 12 is the switch input
gpio 0 is the relay..

grovkillen · #32 Post by **grovkillen** » 06 Sep 2018, 17:56

Then you need to use GPIO,0,%eventvalue% not 12. But remember that GPIO 0 will be high on boot. This will cause the relay to trigger if the unit reboots.

potzkiin · #33 Post by **potzkiin** » 06 Sep 2018, 18:53

Im using this rule:
on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

grovkillen · #34 Post by **grovkillen** » 06 Sep 2018, 19:09

Yes but setting the switch to 1 or 0 doesn't make any sense. The switch is only used to get human interaction. The setRelay event should thus be used to set the GPIO-0 to 1 (or 0).

potzkiin · #35 Post by **potzkiin** » 06 Sep 2018, 19:23

Sorry..but i cant understand...im setting a start point when boot and calling gpio 0 (the relay) to start point of 1or0 of the relay .Im setting the relay not the switch.
Im confused..

grovkillen · #36 Post by **grovkillen** » 06 Sep 2018, 21:17

Just try to change this part

Code: Select all

On setRelay Do
 GPIO,12,%eventvalue%
EndOn

To this

Code: Select all

On setRelay Do
 GPIO,0,%eventvalue%
EndOn

werner_g · #37 Post by **werner_g** » 10 Sep 2018, 12:45

Everlasting questions about rules... Perhaps somebody can have a look on this:

Code: Select all

on Water#state do
   event, Vent01auf=%eventvalue%
endon

on Vent01auf=1 do
   Pulse,16,1,100
   Pulse,12,1,50
   Pulse,13,0,50    //start watering (open Vent1)
   Publish aussen/state/WM/Garten01/Water/Vent1,1
   timerSet,1,300   //timer 1 set for 5 minutes
endon

on Vent01auf=0 do
   timerSet,1,0  //timer1 set to halt
   Pulse,16,1,100
   Pulse,12,0,50
   Pulse,13,1,50  //stop watering (close Vent1)
   Publish aussen/state/WM/Garten01/Water/Vent1,0
endon

MQTT import shows switching of state, the log reports Vent01auf= 1 or 0, but no action on ports or MQTT-publishing happens. Where is my mistake?

Your not really sending any eventvalue in this part:

Code: Select all

on Water#state do
   event, Vent01auf=%eventvalue%
endon

Maybe you're meaning this?

Code: Select all

on Water#state do
   event, Vent01auf=[Water#state]
endon

werner_g · #39 Post by **werner_g** » 11 Sep 2018, 17:21

Thanks for your input, grovkillen, but this little rule-modification brings my ESP to stop operation. Something is really wrong with your (and of course my) code! Please have a look again.

grovkillen · #40 Post by **grovkillen** » 11 Sep 2018, 17:30

What version did you use? And you cannot use events like this on Vent01auf=1 do

You probably need to use a dummy device and assign the event value to that one and then do a if statement to see what to do.

But it would certainly be a nice way of doing case statements possible.

grovkillen · #41 Post by **grovkillen** » 11 Sep 2018, 17:35

You could try:

on Vent01auf=1.00 do

&

on Vent01auf=0.00 do

werner_g · #42 Post by **werner_g** » 11 Sep 2018, 18:14

Hi grovkillen, I am using mega-20180625 and have a dozend ESP's running with that. I just wanted to have an event (gpio12, gpio13 and publish) available for using it in different dependencies (SW-switch, HW-switch, sensor-values etc.). To write a code case by case run's OK, but soon I oversize 2048 chars. It sounds too complicated for me to arrange a dummy device.
Oh, I've just see you latest input. Thanks, I will try this the other day.

werner_g · #43 Post by **werner_g** » 11 Sep 2018, 18:19

Vent01auf=1.00 or Vent01auf=0.00: this are my events I want to use.

potzkiin · #44 Post by **potzkiin** » 12 Sep 2018, 09:30

hi again...
i change the rules as you suggested but there are more issues,

- if i manually change the relay with the command /control?cmd=GPIO,0,1
AND then toggle sw1, the relay toggles. but only once(additional sw1 press is doing nothing).

- Also if i send payload: event,toggleRelay01 it only changes once to 0 from 1. and another event wont change the relay state.
- mqtt setRelay01/0 or 1 wont toggle the relay.

i read somewhere that a virtual switch could help...can you suggest ho to make it with rules?
or maybe it is not relevant at all...

Sounds to me that you're not actually using the correct name of this part: if [Relay01#Status]=0. Observe that my example uses "state" where you use "status"!

potzkiin · #47 Post by **potzkiin** » 12 Sep 2018, 09:57

actually This is my current rule:

on System#Boot do
gpio,0,1 // Prevent relay turning on during boot
endon

On sw1#state Do
Event,toggleRelay01
EndOn

On toggleRelay01 Do
if [Relay01#state]=0
Event,setRelay01=1
else
Event,setRelay01=0
endif
EndOn

On setRelay01 Do
GPIO,0,%eventvalue%
EndOn

And there you have it, you are not using YOUR name of the relay value... you use my example "state" not YOUR name "status"!

OK, thanks for the input i didn't noticed that.
i changed the name to be state

when pressing the SW1 nothing happening to relay.
on the mqtt console i can see it any press make the status go from 0 to 1 with single press.

/test/sw1/state 0
/test/sw1/state 1

Sounds like you have the setup for the switch wrong, do you have it as a "normal" switch in the settings?
