"Fake" event

[mackowiakp]

I use such rule for push on button:

Code: Select all

on Switch#Switch=1 do
  // body of rule
EndOn

So action is activated if button was depress. Is any possibility to activate such action from rule?

I mean about something like this:

Code: Select all

on Switch#Switch=1 or another_event do
  // body of rule
EndOn

and call another_event from rule like this:

Code: Select all

event,another_event

Is it possible in any way?

You should call an event from the switch#switch event. That way you can easily call that event using any way you want.

You can also change the switch mode from "normal" to "toggle".

The situation is more complicated. Its because as a "switch" I use 3D gesture sensor. To be more precise - I'm trying to use that one:

It recognized 9 kind of movement. My goal is to use ESP in conjunction with this sensor and 11 inch e-paper display for presentation of all parameters measured by all my sensors connected to other ESP and RPi, together with charts, warnings etc. Its for constant access (24/7/365) to data without turning on any PC or using tablet, phone or so.

Main advantage of such solution is ultra low power consumption (even one year battery powered) and absence of touch screen. Its because touch screen is always dirty, always fingerprints on it and so on. It needs to be clean from time to time. I don like it.

You should call an event from the switch#switch event. That way you can easily call that event using any way you want.

Finally I got it working. But i think that there is limitation of maximum amount of called events from event to two. My rule code has a structure:

Code: Select all

on Switch#Switch=1 do
  if somethink_1
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
  
    if somethink_2
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
  
  .........
  
    if somethink_8
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
EndOn

Of course event_1 must be taken as subroutine not real event, just for limit amount of code lines.
But if I change the structure to:

Code: Select all

on Switch#Switch=1 do
  event,action
 endon
  
 On action do
  if somethink_1
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
  
    if somethink_2
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
  
  .........
  
    if somethink_8
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
EndOn

the unit reboots if I call "action" event from rule or from Tools->Command menu.
Is there any limitation? My personal feeling is that samothing like this exist.

I really don't know what your asking. Please elaborate.

[mackowiakp]

Simplify. I am calling event_1, event_1 call event_2, event_2 call event_3. Event_1 can be call by depress of physical switch or from rule. If I call event_1 by key depressing - its OK. If I call event_1 from rule, device reboots.
But if I eliminate event_3 (whats dramatically increases amount of lines code in rule) in both cases unit works OK.
So I think that is any limitation for amount of events called from events. Is it true?

[grovkillen]

Show your rules instead. I don't get it...

[mackowiakp]

Code: Select all

on Switch#Switch=1 do
  event,action
 endon
  
 On action do
  if somethink_1
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
  
    if somethink_2
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
  
  .........
  
    if somethink_8
    event,event_1
   // rest body of rule
  endif
EndOn

On event_1 do
    event,event_2
   // rest body of rule
EndOn

On event_2 do
    event,event_3
   // rest body of rule
EndOn

On event_3 do
   // body of rule
EndOn

event_2 and event_3 can be call from another rules

[grovkillen]

You should ALWAYS command event triggers last!

[mackowiakp]

Hmmm. OK, I dont know about it...

[mackowiakp]

OK, but can I send events one by one like this:

Code: Select all

On event_1 do
   // rest body of rule
    event,event_2
    event,event_3
EndOn

[grovkillen]

Yes but if you want to run them one after another you should do this:

Code: Select all

On System#Boot Do
  Let,1,0
EndOn

On LoopDeLoop Do
  Let,1,[INT#1]+1
  Event,event_[INT#1]
EndOn

On event_1 Do
   //body of rule
   Event,LoopDeLoop
EndOn

On event_2 Do
   //body of rule
   Event,LoopDeLoop
EndOn

On event_3 Do
   //body of rule
   Event,LoopDeLoop
EndOn

On event_4 Do
  Let,1,0
   //body of rule
EndOn

This is an example since you're not giving me the real rule set you try to use.

Here you have our current benchmark test rule set, use it as inspiration: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... rules1.txt

THX, thats what I wanted !
