Hello all! I am trying to get Pyscript to respond to UI changes using the @state_trigger decorator. I got it all installed and printing log.info messages to the logs…but it just never triggers my function when I change the state in the UI.
I am using this definition:
log.info(f"<vBridge>: state.exist('counter.helper_counter1'):{state.exist('counter.helper_counter1')}")
@state_trigger("counter.helper_counter1")
def why_wont_this_ever_trigger():
log.info("yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
…and I see this in the logs:
2025-05-18 09:46:38.703 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.pyscript.eval] file.vbridge: calling exist("counter.helper_counter1", {})
2025-05-18 09:46:38.703 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.pyscript.eval] file.vbridge: calling info("<vBridge>: state.exist('counter.helper_counter1'):True", {})

2025-05-18 09:46:38.706 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.pyscript.trigger] trigger file.vbridge.why_wont_this_ever_trigger waiting for state change or event
…everything looks like it is setup properly…then I manually change the counter in the UI…and nothing…my function never triggers.
Comment1: I have tried many, many variations including task.wait_until, @state_active and others. The @time_trigger works, but my @state_trigger never works. I have also tried to trigger on several different entity types from lights, to input_numbers, to counters, to text strings, but nothing works.
Comment2: I have tried EVENT_STATE_CHANGED …but some of the tutorials say this:
It’s much better to use @state_trigger decorators to trigger on state variable changes, rather than triggering on all EVENT_STATE_CHANGED events.
Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!!
