Help needed with run_in function appdaemon

Third party integrations AppDaemon

Hi, I’m having trouble with the run_in function, it does not delay the callback, but turns my light of immediately. I’m using appdaemon 3 on Hassio.

my code:

  def bios_on(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
    self.turn_off("light.table")
    self.turn_off("light.spots")
    self.log("lights off")
    self.run_in(self.turn_off("light.shelf"), 15)
    self.log("shelf off")

Log:

2018-04-14 20:35:30.054364 INFO AppDaemon: Initializing app bios using class BIOS from module bios
2018-04-14 20:35:33.086720 INFO bios: lights off
2018-04-14 20:35:33.463297 INFO bios: shelf off

The shelf light is turned of directly after the spots. Am I doing something wrong?

self.log("shelf off")

Will execute right away.

self.run_in(self.turn_off("light.shelf"), 15)

should execute 15 seconds later? The log does not help, it’s not delayed :slight_smile:

yes, thought so was not sure. But any way, the delay does not work

  def bios_on(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
    self.turn_off("light.table")
    self.turn_off("light.spots")
    self.log("lights off")
    self.run_in(self.log("shelf off"), 15)

2018-04-14 21:14:13.720362 INFO bios: lights off
2018-04-14 21:14:13.731334 INFO bios: shelf off

You must define a function for the run_in - you can’t call turn_off directly. So something like this:

  def bios_on(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
    self.turn_off("light.table")
    self.turn_off("light.spots")
    self.log("lights off")
    self.run_in(self.turn_off_shelf, 15)

 def turn_off_shelf(self,entity, attribute, old, new, kwargs):
    self.turn_off("light.shelf")
    self.log("shelf off")

That should be close …

Thanks, this did the trick!

  def turn_off_shelf(self, kwargs):
    self.turn_off("light.shelf")
