Help with Rules

[lars@baekmark.dk]

Hi all

I have connected a ESP8266-01 to PCF8574 in order to control four relays and using two input for getting the status from my GaragePort. All is working, but the status of the two inputs is being sent to my Domoticz server every 30 sec via rules:
n GaragePortStatusClose#Switch=0.00 do
SendToHTTP 192.168.6.44,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=74&switchcmd=On
endon

on GaragePortStatusClose#Switch=1.00 do
SendToHTTP 192.168.6.44,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=74&switchcmd=Off
endon

on GaragePortStatusOpen#Switch=0.00 do
SendToHTTP 192.168.6.44,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=73&switchcmd=On
endon

on GaragePortStatusOpen#Switch=1.00 do
SendToHTTP 192.168.6.44,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=73&switchcmd=Off
endon

Note that active is 0.00 on and off is 1.00

I'll like to have a system, where the changes is sent when there is a change in input, and not every 30 sec. It's messing up my log on Domoticz.

Can someone give a hint on how to get the correct rules to solve my issue?

I'm using ESPMega v. mega-20181001

Big thanks in advance

Lars

I am not really sure, but I think these rules can be half in size, since you can 'translate' the values into some other strings like "on/off" and also invert.

The format is

Code: Select all

[task#value#transformation#justification]

Code: Select all

on GaragePortStatusClose#Switch=1.00 do
SendToHTTP 192.168.6.44,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=74&switchcmd=Off
endon

Could possibly be changed into:

Code: Select all

on GaragePortStatusClose#Switch do
SendToHTTP 192.168.6.44,8080,/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=74&switchcmd=[GaragePortStatusClose#Switch#!O]
endon

I have not tested it, just based on the sourcecode in Misc.ino.
"!" is invert
"O" is translate it into "On/Off"

I think if you send the values to a dummy variable first, that one will check for changes and only trigger an action on changes.
Maybe @Grovkillen also has some ideas on this one?

If I understand you right, you would just need to setup your domoticz as controller, set the delay of the input switch devices to 0, enable "send Data". Then you would get messages on change only.

Hi toffel969

that did it!!! No rules, and your suggestions, it just works!

Big thanks from rainy/windy/cold Denmark
