ESPEasy Event Reference

You may hear some construction noise in the background...

The rules engine can be used to implement some custom actions based on events. ESP Easy tasks that read sensors will produce events that are run through the engine processor in the following format:

<Taskname>#<ValueName>

There will be one event for each reading. When a device reads multiple values like temperature and humidity, it will produce two events.

So if you have a task with the name "DHT11-Outside" and the default valuenames, there will be these events:

DHT11-Outside#Temperature
DHT11-Outside#Humidity

Besides the task generated events, there can be other system events or events that are generated using the rules engine:

Event	Detailed info	Sample
<taskname>#<valuename>	Each task can produced one or more events, one each for each measured value	on DHT11-Outside#Temperature>20 gpio 2,1 endon
System#Boot	Triggered at boot time	on System#Boot gpio 2,1 timerSet 1,30 endon
System#Sleep	Triggered just before the ESP goes to deep sleep	on System#Sleep gpio 2,0 endon
Clock#Time	Triggered every minute with day and time like: Mon,12:30 or Tue,14:45. You can define triggers on specific days or all days using "All" for days indicator. You can also use wildcards in the time setting like All,**:00 to run every hour.	on Clock#Time=All,12:00 gpio 2,1 endon
Rules#Timer	Triggered when a rules timer ends	on Rules#Timer=1 gpio 2,1 endon
