Some help with first start config

Configuration
1

Hello all,

I have add this in my action.yaml is there a way to make this much easier?
I want change from Domotic to HA. Have lot of scripts running that do checks before actions:

I understand the condition part little bit. But the action part I need have some if this then that statement as well. Can someone help me with some simple way to do i.f.t.t.t. part inside action?

#TEST 1

        entity_id: light.dressoir_3
        kelvin: 3000
        brightness: 255

When for example a light is already on then light.dressoir_1 must be red instead of kelvin. Or when date is first xmas day then light.dressoir_2 must be green. (example)

I think you should read about Service templating.

Thanks, tried a simple test to understand but what I try its not working:

- alias: Test

        [250,255,142]
      {% endif %}

Here I turn on light.balcony. when light.hallway is on then light.dressoir must go on with color 1 if light.hallway is off then light.dressoir must go on with color 2.

If this is working then I will understand more how yaml script is working. In Domoticz it works different

What about?

  action:                                                                                                                                      
    service: light.turn_on                                                                                                                     
    data_template:                                                                                                                     
      entity_id: light.dressoir1        
      rgb_color: > 
      {% if is_state('light.hall'), 'on' %}                                                                                 
        [150,255,142]                                                                                                               
      {% elseif is_state('light.hall'), 'off' %}

Didn’t work as well

With this I don’t get any errors when I test configuration. But the action is not working

When I test the if part in “dev-template” then I get the right output

Hmm, looking at a template that i use for random rgb_color i did put the numbers in single quotes.

      - service: light.turn_on
        data_template:
          entity_id: '{{ states.input_select.schreibt_milights.state }}' 
          rgb_color: ['{{ states.sensor.random_rgb.state.split(",")[0] }}', '{{ states.sensor.random_rgb.state.split(",")[1] }}', '{{ states.sensor.random_rgb.state.split(",")[2] }}']
          brightness: 140

Maybe?

['150','255','142']

Thanks for all the ideas but also didn’t work out.

In Domoticz you have a script like this:

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
    
    devices = {SwitchToilet},
    },
    
    --logging = {marker = 'SWITCHES Toilet Control ' ..Version..'......'},
    execute = function(domoticz, device)

    if (domoticz.devices(SwitchToilet).active and not domoticz.devices(SceneGoodnight).active) then
        domoticz.helpers.RGB(domoticz,BulbToiletAll,nil,nil,nil)
        
    elseif (domoticz.devices(SwitchToilet).active and domoticz.devices(SceneGoodnight).active) then  
        domoticz.helpers.On(domoticz,BulbToiletAll)
        
    elseif (not domoticz.devices(SwitchToilet).active) then
        domoticz.helpers.Off(domoticz,BulbToiletAll,nil,nil)
    end
    --domoticz.log('------------------------==<[ SWITCH '..device.idx..' On/Off ]>==--------------------', domoticz.LOG_FORCE)
end
}

When SwitchToilet and not SceneGoodnight are active then turn on BulbToiletAll with RGB color. Nil means nothing then it use default RGB color stored in a global_data file

This wat of script seems much easier
 :slight_smile: but want learn the YAML script
 at the end probably I can do much more then what I can do with Domoticz at this moment.

Also Integration of mitt, homekit, and lots of devices are supported already makes me to switch


But first need to let work this

Test it with entity_id and this is working perfect

          light.dressoir2
        {% endif %}
      rgb_color: [150,255,142]

So have to figure out why rob_color: > is not working

This is working also:
rgb_color: [’{{ “{0:d}”.format(range(0, 255)|random) }}’,
‘{{ “{0:d}”.format(range(0, 255)|random) }}’,
‘{{ “{0:d}”.format(range(0, 255)|random) }}’]
