Rules

[joel gerardi]

I was able to make a motion sensor using a PIR am312 from amazon and wiring it GPIO3 on my shelly 1.  I have it set up with the following rule:

This is doing exactly what i need it to do. 

I am using the motion detector to open and close a sliding door.

via a button in home assistant,  I an do this using a standard button in HA to flip the switch to on but i need a rule to then shut it off immediately. I have tried multiple different syntax and cant get anything to work.

rule1 is enabled.

ie:

rule1 ON power#state=1 do power 0 ENDON

or

rule1 ON power#state==1 do power 0 ENDON

Ideas?

Hi Joel,

This can be like the following

 Rule1
    on button1#state=2 do power1 2 endon -------> when button is toggled toggle power1

If you are using a switch instead of button it can be 

  Rule1
      on Switch1#State=0 do power1 0 endon  ------->when sw1 state is off turn off power1

      on Switch1#State=1 do power1 1 endon    ---->when sw1 state is on turn on power1

   Rule1
    on button1#state=2 do power1 3 endon  

The general idea of making a rule is

Rule<x> ON <trigger1> DO <command> ENDON

IF you want multiple commands you have to use Backlog after "do" e.g. on tele-DS18B20#temperature<37 do Backlog power2 1; power3 3 endon
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Rules/

Here are some rule info

Button2#State when a button changes state:
0 = OFF
1 = ON
2 = TOGGLE
3 = HOLD

Power<x> Control the corresponding power state (1..8) (also restarts PulseTime)<x>
0 / off / false = turn OFF
1 / on / true = turn ON
2 / toggle = if power state is ON switch to OFF and vice versa
3 / blink = toggle power for BlinkCount times each BlinkTime duration (at the end of blink, power state is returned to pre-blink state)
4 / blinkoff = stop blink sequence and return power state to pre-blink state

Switch1#State when a switch changes to state. Will not trigger if SwitchTopic is set.
use Switch1#state=0 and Switch1#state=1 for comparison, not =off or =on
0 = OFF
1 = ON
2 = TOGGLE
3 = HOLD (SwitchTopic 0 must be set for this to trigger)
4 = INC_DEC (increment or decrement dimmer)
5 = INV (change from increment to decrement dimmer and vice versa)
6 = CLEAR (button released for the time set with SetOption32)

Chreers,
Chris

Try PulseTime or Blink

When i say i am using a button, i am referring to a button in home assistant, not a button on the tasmota.  In other words i am sending an mqtt command to the tasmota (cmnd/BackDoor/power 1). Once the relay closes i want to immediately open it.  So once i achieve power 1, i want to return to power 0.

I cant seem to get any rules to fire at all.  Im wondering if there is another setting someplace that i need to change to get rules to work.

As I said try PulseTime you don’t need a Rule to achieve what you want pulsetime 5 will turn the relay off after 500ms.

Blink is sometimes a better option as it uses power1 3 as a trigger. If sometimes you want a device to stay on you can send power1 1 but if you want it to stay on for a minute you can set BlinkCount 1 and BlinkTime 600 and send the command power1 3.

 

The issue maybe using a Button. You said earlier that you are using a PIR. A Button ‘toggles’ the Relay - a Switch only operates the Relay when it’s closed. If the PIR has an adjustable on time adjust it to the minimum.

 

You are also better to use power1 1 and power1 0 rather than just power. You should probably insert a delay in the Rule too.
