    Hi, I have a suggestion for extending the functionality with schedules. This would really save me a number of flows. Use case would be to set the thermostat high during working hours, and low during non-working hours. In your app you could add a boolean variable that is true during the set schedule, and false otherwise. With a trigger flowcard when the value changes, and a condition flowcard I would be all set. All you would need to do is add is a place to set up the schedule. Something similar to what is displayed below would do the trick :)

    Dou you see this as a good extension of BL?




    This sounds like a new app. Then you make triggers in start and finish of the specific schedule.

    @emile had such an idea about scheduling back in april 2015, see this thread https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1138/volume-settings/p1 no idea what has happened with his idea...

    I'm going to prepare an update for the Global Token support..... Looks like good fun.

    Thanks! Much appreciated! Feels great everything the PayPal notifies me with a notification!

    @Uranday ;
    I made a flow with
    IF: date&time, every minute
    THEN: Betterlogic Set String Variable: TimeString, Value: TimeTag

    TimeString now is '22:16'

    So actually stringfunctions like you have a mathjs flowcard would do the job.
    like:
    TimeString.substring(1, 2) -> TimeHourString
    fixed

    Someone who wants to do that with a date can do the same.

    You think a stringfunction flowcard would be possible ?

    Thanks!
    In your scenario substrings are not so nice to work with due to the fact you cannot do calculations. So I add a set of extra reserved variables next to timenow. 

    * Feature: Added #DD (day), #MM (month), #YYYY (year), #HH (hours), #mm (minutes) #SS (seconds) as reserved words next to timenow in the mathjs flows. You can now for example assign #HH to a variable to get the hours. Also I changed timenow to #timenow for consistency.

    Hope it helps!

    Working on 1 bug for the local hours (currently I can only get the UTC. But this are the upcomming features for now

    V0.9.8
    * Feature: Add global TAG support
    * Feature: Changed the i and d in increment to increment and decrement (left the i and d for backward compatibility)
    * Feature: Added #DD (day), #MM (month), #YYYY (year), #HH (hours), #mm (minutes) #SS (seconds) as reserved words next to timenow in the mathjs flows. You can now for example assign #HH to a variable to get the hours. Also I changed timenow to #timenow for consistency.
    * Bug: Replace filter with find when looking up devices
    * Bug: Fixed delete all function so it also removes all Insights

     (small snippet of the new global tags you have in the flow editor)
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Someone asked my to add extra devices next to the bitflip. For now I see something like a number slider where you can change a number. (I think strings will not be possible). To do so I have to predifine a card with a range. I was thinking about a card 0-100. What do you guys think?

    It is implemented with a slider from 0-100 with steps of 0.5. Lets see how it is going to work.
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    What would be a use case for that?
  • DaneeDeKruyffDaneeDeKruyff Member
    Does that matter? :D
  • UrandayUranday Member
    For example, you have X dimmers or thermostats you want to put in a group. What you can do is create a number variable, adjust it with the slider, and then set multiple devices with that value....
    To make it more usefull, during adding of the device you can select the min/max and step values. So, besides the why, because I can, I think there is a usecase.

    lol  :p

    Just wondering how I could maybe use this myself  ;)

    Hm, that might really come in handy indeed! :)
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Its submitted without the slider. Still some open issues, but wanted to give you TAG support in the upcomming release. Hope you enjoy it!

    Thanks for your hard work!
    The sliders sound amazing as well, I can think of loads of uses (especially in combination with HomeyDash for example)
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Released for everyone that is on 1.1.0
  • DaneeDeKruyffDaneeDeKruyff Member
    @Urunday Thanks!

    I use timenow in some mathjs cards, you write you changed timenow to #timenow, do I have to change the cards?

    Example:

    Hi,
    How to round a number to half decimals
    example:
    i got a #Outside_Temperature which is -2.4  __  I want it to be changed in -2.5 
     if i use: round(#Outside_temperature) to (#Rounded_Outside_Temerature) it gives me the number -2

    Can someone tell me how to do this?

    thanks in advanced

    round($d$*2)/2

    First you multiply the numer times 2, you round and then you devide to 2.
    so that would be -2.4*2 = 4,8 -> round that would give -5. Devide it by -2 would give -2.5. 

    If you want to do it with steps of 0.25 you can do the same trick but use 4 instead of 2.

    Hope it helps!

    Well, I don't mind if it's changed and brought in line of the other date/time related variables, I think in the long run it would make things easier. So if you change it and give us a heads-up on how to change our flows I have no problem with it.

    Works Like a charm :-)

    Thank i appreciate it.

    Better logic stopped working for me since 1.1.2.
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Yep, it seems like the triggers stopped working. Ill go and investigate to see what is going on.
  • DaneeDeKruyffDaneeDeKruyff Member
    edited December 2016
    I'm not sure but to me it seems a card in the ...and... column also doesn't work properly. I'm still not sure in what situations it happens, still investigating.
    I check a dim value from a hue light for beeing bigger then 0,99.

    In a test with entering a value the evaluation is correct.
    When I set the dim level of the light to 100% the evaluation goes wrong.
    When I make a flow that reportsthe dim level it reports 1 when the dim level is set to 100% so the evaluation should have been correct


    (On a side note, it would be more logical if 100 was reported when brightness is set to 100% the way it was in earlier builds, but @emile thinks it's correct this way: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/958#issuecomment-257541512)
  • UrandayUranday Member
    There is a bug in triggering. Unsure what the problem is. We have to wait until Weejewel can fix it. Until then if you rely on BL, hold off the update.
  • DaneeDeKruyffDaneeDeKruyff Member
    Ok, thanks, read up on the forum and slack and figured it was indeed the bug that was suposed to be fixed: 
    • Fixed a bug where Flow tags of a trigger could be null
    I've learned the hard way that manual updates is the way to go on experimental so I'm safe ;)
  • UrandayUranday Member
    The problem is found. A bug I abused is fixed. Currently I have two options to fix it:
    I have two options:
    - Make a shitload of cards (bool set, bool changed, number set, number changed etc) and have tokens on the trigger card.
    - Make 1 trigger card, but without the tokens and use a tag when needed.....
