Keep highest en lowest value in dummy via rules

[bulthaup]

I have an ESPEASY system running with a BME280 sensor. I would like to keep the highest and lowest value of the temperature sensor inside a dummy task until I reset the device.
This is probably possible with an easy rule but I totally lack knowledge of writing rules.

My first attempt (not tested)

Code: Select all

on System#Boot do
let,1,[Greenhouse#Temperature]
endon

on serre#Temperature do
    TaskValueSet 4,1,[VAR#1]
    let,2,[Greenhouse#Temperature]
    if [VAR#2] > [VAR#1] then TaskValueSet 4,1,[VAR#2]
    endif
endon

Code: Select all

On TaskName#ValueName Do
  If [TaskName#ValueName] > [DummyTask#DummyValueHighest]
   TaskValueSet,<DummyTaskNummer>,<DummyValueNumberHigh>,[TaskName#ValueName]
  EndIf
  If [TaskName#ValueName] < [DummyTask#DummyValueLowest]
   TaskValueSet,<DummyTaskNummer>,<DummyValueNumberLow>,[TaskName#ValueName]
  EndIf
EndOn

Change the names and numbers accordingly.

Ok, I still need to set the initial lowest value after booting so my rule looks like this now and it seems to be working.

Code: Select all

On System#Boot do
TaskValueSet,4,1,[serre#Temperature]
TaskValueSet,4,2,[serre#Humidity]
TaskValueSet,4,3,[serre#Pressure]
endon

On serre#Temperature Do
  If [serre#Temperature] > [DummyHighest#TemperatureHighest]
   TaskValueSet,5,1,[serre#Temperature]
  EndIf
  If [serre#Temperature] < [DummyLowest#TemperatureLowest]
   TaskValueSet,4,1,[serre#Temperature]
  EndIf
EndOn

On serre#Humidity Do
  If [serre#Humidity] > [DummyHighest#HumidityHighest]
   TaskValueSet,5,2,[serre#Humidity]
  EndIf
  If [serre#Humidity] < [DummyLowest#HumidityLowest]
   TaskValueSet,4,2,[serre#Humidity]
  EndIf
EndOn

On serre#Pressure Do
  If [serre#Pressure] > [DummyHighest#PressureHighest]
   TaskValueSet,5,3,[serre#Pressure]
  EndIf
  If [serre#Pressure] < [DummyLowest#PressureLowest]
   TaskValueSet,4,3,[serre#Pressure]
  EndIf
EndOn

Upon testing, I discovered a bug btw. I have set 2 dummy devices with Output Data Type: Temp/Hum/Baro to create 3 task values.

After rebooting, the Output Data Type changes to Single whilst there are 4 task values all of a sudden.

Changing the Output Data Type for 1 of the 2 Dummy tasks back to Output Data Type: Temp/Hum/Baro fixes it immediately for both dummy tasks.

I will open up an issue on Github https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/3184

Yes it's a known bug. We're working on a fix.

Ok, thank you!
