Merge two automations

zamzon · April 24, 2020, 7:42pm

I would like to merge my two automations in to one, but i need to know which entity that trigger to run the correct action. My two automations works fine separate

the first automation:
When my setpoint is changed in my IHC system, set the temperarure in my climate in HA


- id: '1587674585478'
  alias: clima stue sync ihc to ha
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.temperatur_stue_setpoint
    event_type: state_changed
    platform: event
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ states(''sensor.temperatur_stue_setpunkt'') != states(''temperatur_stue_sensor.setpunkt2'')
      }}'
  action:
  - data_template:
      temperature: '{{ states(''sensor.temperatur_stue_setpunkt'') }}'
    entity_id: climate.stue
    service: climate.set_temperature

Automation two:
When I set the temperature in HA, sync the setpoint to my IHC system.


- id: '1586809820067'
  alias: climate stue sync HA til IHC
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.temperatur_stue_setpunkt2
    event_type: state_changed
    platform: event
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ states(''sensor.temperatur_stue_setpunkt'') != states(''sensor.temperatur_stue_setpunkt2'')
      }}'
  action:
  - data_template:
      ihc_id: 29324564
      value: '{{ states.climate.stue.attributes.temperature }}'
    service: ihc.set_runtime_value_float

my thought was something like this, I know this dosen’t work, but I hope this makes sense for what I want to do.

- id: '1587674585478'
  alias: clima sync both ways
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.setpunkt
    event_type: state_changed
    platform: event
  - event_data:
      entity_id: sensor.setpunkt2
    event_type: state_changed
    platform: event
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ states(''sensor.setpunkt'') != states(''sensor.setpunkt2'')
      }}'
  action:
    service_template: >
      {% if trigger.entity_id.name == "sensor.setpunkt" %}
      - data_template:
      temperature: '{{ states(''sensor.setpunkt'') }}'
      entity_id: climate.stue
    service: climate.set_temperature
      {% elif trigger.entity_id.name == "sensor.setpunkt2" %}
      - data_template:
      ihc_id: 29324564
        value: '{{ states.climate.stue.attributes.temperature }}'
      service: ihc.set_runtime_value_float
      {% endif %}

I’m not sure I fully understand your two automations, but given what they are, and you say they do what you want, then this should be equivalent:

- trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.setpoint
      - sensor.setpunkt
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ states('sensor.setpunkt') != states('sensor.setpunkt2') }}"
  action:
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    entity_id: climate.stue
    data_template:
      temperature: "{{ states('sensor.setpunkt') }}"

But your attempt at combining them seems to try to do something completely different.

Looks like you pasted the same automation twice so I think this is what your trying to do.

Since your using two different services with different arguments you will need to pass them to scripts.

Automation:

- id: '1587674585478'
  alias: clima sync both ways
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      - entity_id: sensor.setpunkt
      - entity_id: sensor.setpunkt2
    event_type: state_changed
    platform: event
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ states(''sensor.setpunkt'') != states(''sensor.setpunkt2'') }}'
  action:
    service_template: >-
      {% if trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.setpunkt' %}
        script.setpunkt_climate_set_temperature
      {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.setpunkt2' %}
        script.setpunkt2_ihc_set_runtime_value_float
      {% endif %}
    data_template:
      entity_id: climate.stue
      temperature: '{{ states(''sensor.setpunkt'') }}'
      value: '{{ states.climate.stue.attributes.temperature }}'
      ihc_id: 29324564

Script:

setpunkt_climate_set_temperature:
  sequence:
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      data_template:
         temperature: "{{ temperature }}"
         entity_id: "{{ entity_id}}"

setpunkt2_ihc_set_runtime_value_float:
  sequence:
    - service: ihc.set_runtime_value_float
      data_template:
         value: "{{ value }}"
         ihc_id: "{{ ihc_id}}"

Using dot notation for an object_id is very risky. You won’t be able to access the items from the state machines states object.

Yes, that was a copy/paste error, I have fixed it.

zamzon · April 28, 2020, 6:32pm

Thanks

I did try to use it, and found out the missing % at setpoint2.
but I get an error in the data_template action


    data_template: >-
      entity_id: climate.stue
      temperature: '{{ states(''sensor.setpunkt'') }}'
      value: '{{ states.climate.stue.attributes.temperature }}'
      ihc_id: 29324564


Message malformed: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data['action'][0]['data_template']

I did correct my two automations so you can see the what they do

popboxgun · April 28, 2020, 6:42pm

I left out a % in this line

   {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.setpunkt2' %}

popboxgun · April 28, 2020, 6:55pm

I don’t think the >- is actually needed after the data_template:

zamzon · April 28, 2020, 7:38pm

I can run my automation, but my script does not run

popboxgun · April 29, 2020, 12:16am

By run your script, you mean manually? Try turning up the logging on the script. You should see it execute in the logs.

Put this in your configuration.yaml

    homeassistant.helpers.script: info

zamzon · April 29, 2020, 4:37am

No

I can see in the UI when I change my setpunkt entity my automation runs, but when I go to the script tab it hasn’t run any of the two scripts.

popboxgun · April 29, 2020, 12:55pm

If you manually run the automation from developers tools, it will ignore the condition.

zamzon · April 29, 2020, 8:22pm

I did try doing it manually, but with no luck, it wont start the scripts

Here is how my automation looks now
