Hello One more example to end the week :grinning: This automation is not final or complete, and probably there is a way to make more generic. My aim is to share examples that maybe can help new members starting with HA+AppDaemon. Suggestions or recommendations to improve the implementation are …

If I understood correctly your code, you only consider one execution pattern, not two as my example (leaving & arriving), right?

With my code you would create two yaml configurations, one for arriving and one for leaving. That’s the advantage of the code being generic, you can create as many scenarios as you like just by adding a new config file. E.g. turn music in bedroom on if I turned off the TV, triggered the bathroom m…

I get it! Thanks @Burningstone :+1: Btw, you have any experience using History Statistics Sensor or InfluxDB from AppDaemon? I’m trying to do this

I do have, but maybe this could make it easier: [image] Utility Meter Instructions on how to integrate the Utility Meter into Home Assistant.

Thanks @Burningstone for the link, but I will be interested too in seeing the way to query History Statistics Sensor form AppDaemon :grinning:

To query the database you will need some SQL. You can create a sensor for InfluxDB like written in the chapter “sensor” of the below page. [image] InfluxDB Record events in InfluxDB. Or query the db from AppDaemon directly by using the pymysql library like i…

[image] rhumbertgz: Do you have any example for that in your mind? there are many moments that you want to act when 3 or more things happen in a row. but the most obvious are movements. motion livingroom > motion hallway > motion bedroom > someone moved to bedroom action against no motion…

I’m working on making my code more readable for noobs, the problem is I’m a noob myself haha Any tips or suggestions regarding this? Thanks for pointing out the mistake, I quickly added the delay after the app was already finished and didn’t test it afterwards, that’s why I probably didn’t notice. …

[image] ReneTode: but its far away from noob code I struggle with this myself. Like @Burningstone I use voluptous in most of my AppDaemon apps. It’s not easier or more readable than not using it, but it does all the heavy lifting of making sure that floats are floats when a float is expected…
