How can repeat this automation?

Rodolfo_Vieira · February 21, 2017, 10:38pm

hello i have this automation

- alias: 'Porta casa de banho'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
    state: 'on'
    for:
      seconds: 20
  action:
    - service: shell_command.play_wc

What can I do to make this automation repeat every 20 seconds?
thanks

Like this

automation:
  - alias: 'Porta casa de banho'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
      state: 'on'
      for:
        seconds: 20
    action:
      - service: script.stuff

script:
  stuff:
    sequence:
      - service: shell_command.play_wc
      - service: script.stuff_loop
  stuff_loop:
    sequence:
      - delay:
          seconds: 20
      - service: script.stuff

Although this might not what you actually want…this loops until forever! If you only want it to loop as long as the state persists you might want to add a condition to those scripts like this:

automation:
  - alias: 'Porta casa de banho'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
      state: 'on'
      for:
        seconds: 20
    action:
      - service: script.stuff

script:
  stuff:
    sequence:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
        state: 'on'
      - service: shell_command.play_wc
      - service: script.stuff_loop
  stuff_loop:
    sequence:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
        state: 'on'
      - delay:
          seconds: 20
      - service: script.stuff

Or you could add an automation to kill those scripts off when the state changes to off like this:

automation:
  - alias: 'Porta casa de banho'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
      state: 'on'
      for:
        seconds: 20
    action:
      - service: script.stuff
 - alias: 'Porta casa de banho NOT'
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
      state: 'off'
    action:
      - service: script.turn_off
        data:
          entity_id: script.stuff
      - service: script.turn_off
        data:
          entity_id: script.stuff_loop

script:
  stuff:
    sequence:
      - service: shell_command.play_wc
      - service: script.stuff_loop
  stuff_loop:
    sequence:
      - delay:
          seconds: 20
      - service: script.stuff

Might want to check out this if it suffices to have a notification https://home-assistant.io/components/alert/.

Thank you so much for yours knowledges. do you have ghitub for me to see your stuff?

PhyberApex · February 22, 2017, 9:23am

No sorry I don’t have my config on github. It wouldn’t be impressive anyways as I don’t have that much set up myself

If you have any questions or need help with so!merging feel free to ask.

~Cheers

@PhyberApex hello again, i get home now and i did some tests:
on this case:

automation:

alias: ‘Porta casa de banho’
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
state: ‘on’
for:
seconds: 20
action:

service: script.stuff

It should not be like this

action:

service: script.turn_on
entitidy id: script.stuff

???
i did that changes and i dont hear the soud. this line not show me on .log

17-02-22 13:07:41 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Bus:Handling Event call_service[L]: service_call_id=3050659088-1, service_data=, service=play_wc, domain=shell_command

and if i run my code:

alias: ‘Porta casa de banho’
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.porta_casa_de_banho
state: ‘on’
for:
seconds: 20
action:

service: shell_command.play_wc

show me.

PhyberApex · February 22, 2017, 1:20pm

You don’t need that change you can call scripts directly. Your change should not work.

~Cheers

Rodolfo_Vieira · February 22, 2017, 1:27pm

if a call script directly like this;
-service: script.stuff

give this error:

Rodolfo_Vieira · February 22, 2017, 6:52pm

i think that problem is on SERVICES:
when i click DOMAIN after SERVICES should not be appears “stuff”???

PhyberApex · February 22, 2017, 8:24pm

Yes it should be there do you have the script section of what I posted in your config? Is the script component loaded up in your logfile?

~Cheers

PhyberApex · February 22, 2017, 9:09pm

Just to make sure you have that script in your configuration right? And you did a restart after yes?

~Cheers

Rodolfo_Vieira · February 22, 2017, 9:33pm

but i cant hear mp3 sound

PhyberApex · February 23, 2017, 8:05am

Could you try without the include? Just put it directly in your configuration.yaml.

~Cheers

Rodolfo_Vieira · February 23, 2017, 9:58am

@PhyberApex yes now it works, Why does not my way work?

PhyberApex · February 23, 2017, 12:16pm

Hey try changing

to include_dir_named with your way. That’s how I did it.

~Cheers

Rodolfo_Vieira · February 23, 2017, 12:19pm

Now it works very well.
it was hard. Lol

thank you so much for your patience.

Vahid_Barz · December 15, 2018, 5:30pm

hi eveybody
i use this configuration but i got only two notify
do you know the problem?

automation:
    - alias: 'Porta casa de banho'
      trigger:
      - above: '1'
        entity_id: sensor.ovenoo
        platform: numeric_state
      action:
        - service: script.stuff

    - alias: 'Porta casa de banho NOT'
      trigger:
      - below: '50'
        entity_id: sensor.ovenoo
        platform: numeric_state
        for:
          seconds: 20
      action:
        - service: script.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: script.stuff
        - service: script.turn_off
          data:
            entity_id: script.stuff_loop

script:
   stuff:
    sequence:
      - service: notify.ios_vahids_iphone
        data:
          title: "Home Assistant Alert"
          message: "oven is on!"
      - service: script.stuff_loop
  stuff_loop:
    sequence:
      - delay:
          seconds: 10
      - service: script.stuff

ashscott · June 9, 2020, 10:12am

I have the exact same issue:

When switch.main_pump goes to ‘off’, it alerts twice.
When switch.main pump goes to ‘on’ I get the restarted message.

Toggling again gets two more alerts.

My expection is that the script would repeat until switch.main_pump goes to ‘off’.

Automation:

- alias: 'Main pump stopped alert'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: switch.main_pump
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    for:
      seconds: 5
  action:
    - service: script.main_pump_alert
 
- alias: 'Main pump running again'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: switch.main_pump
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: notify.ALL_DEVICES
      data:
        title: "Koi pond..."
        message: "...main pump has restarted"
    - service: script.turn_off
      data:
        entity_id: script.main_pump_alert
    - service: script.turn_off
      data:
        entity_id: script.main_pump_alert_loop

Scripts:

main_pump_alert:
    sequence:
      - service: notify.ALL_DEVICES
        data:
          title: "Koi pond..."
          message: "...main pump has stopped"
      - service: script.main_pump_alert_loop

  main_pump_alert_loop:
    sequence:
      - delay:
          seconds: 5
      - service: script.main_pump_alert

Did you find a solution?

ashscott · June 9, 2020, 10:20am

Found it!

The scripts have to be written thus:


  main_pump_alert:
    sequence:
      - service: notify.ALL_DEVICES
        data:
          title: "Koi pond..."
          message: "...main pump has stopped"
      - service: script.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: script.main_pump_alert_loop

  main_pump_alert_loop:
    sequence:
      - delay:
          seconds: 5
      - service: script.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: script.main_pump_alert
