Me and copilot.

[Samir Arishy]

I asked copilot to do the following rule:
at power off display the time of the off then publish it.
here is the response:
Rule1
ON Power1#State=0 DO
  Var1 %time%
  Log "Device turned off at %Var1%"
  publish cmnd/tasmota/Var1 %Var1%
ENDON

The pubshing never happened. My guess is Tasmota does not do that and it is my misunderstanding that causing the problem.

I would like to aplogize for using AI, but I thought it is patient enough to deal with beginners.

You have the grammar incorrect.  

Rule1 On

 power1#state=0 do backlog var1 %time%; publish yourtopic {"power_off_event":%time%} endon

However this is unnecessary because the power off event will be published to mqtt anyway.  So it would surely be better to set up an MQTT listener somewhere and log the power off events traditionally.

Artificial Intelligence isn't 'intelligent' it needs to copy tots of people's work and rehash it. There will unlikely ever to be enough good examples in the public domain for it to make sensible suggestions. If you spend 5 minutes reading the Rules page (and understanding how Tasmota works) you would know why that rule would NEVER work.

%time% gives you minutes past midnight

Assigning a value to a var automatically publishes to stat/<topic>/ Artificial Intelligence isn't 'intelligent' it needs to copy tots of people's work and rehash it.

cmnd is used for commands tele or stat should be used for data

Log isn't a Tasmota command

Backlog needs to be used after do if there is more than one command

; needs to be used to separate the commands

Rule1 on power1#state=0 do var1 %timestamp% endon

Rule1 1

Might do what you want
