rules - I need help

[woocashewski]

hi,

I need help with rules - I want to send neopixel commands triggered by state of a sensor (integer value).

the problem is (at least for me..), that I need it to work like that:

if [value] <n
than this (this part is easy - command tgiggered by condition)
if [value] is greater than n+1 and smaller than n2
than this
if [value] is greater than n2+1 and smaller than n3
than this

the problem is, that this "n" values are from 0 - 150, so it's /nearly, due to rules size limitation and common sense / impossible to get this working by equality function

eg.

Code: Select all

    if [p1#p] < 30
        neopixel,1,0,255,0
    endif
    if [p1#p] = 30
        neopixel,1,10,100,0

and so on, from 30 to 150

maybe I have some brain fog or something, but I can't find how to get this work.

any help?

thanks in an advance.

Code: Select all

On p1#p Do
 If [p1#p]<30
  neopixel,1,0,255,1
 Else
 neopixel,1,([p1#p]*255/150),100,1
 EndIf
Endon

Just something I made out of my head. Can't you do something like that?

thank you for a quick response

unfortunately it's not working - values calculated from formula are omitted in command for neopixel - if formula is for red - there's no red at all.

Must be that the neopixel plugin doesn't accept float values. Maybe if you first put them to a dummy value with 0 decimals?

I was thinking about dummy device, but i don't know how to enter data into dummy device, [ and # are not accepted, so... another long night of searching before me

PS. help links related to plugins are veeeery short, and sometimes misleading. Maybe it's time to join community and use my experience.

TaskValueSet,<tasknumber>,<value umber>,<value or formula>

The formula is fairly straightforward, but values are in the syntax [p1#p].

The wiki is being redone (we're moving it to GitHub/ReadTheDocs). It'll get better.

all set

thank You for assistance.
