Arrival of people including multiple people at once

[pcgirl65]

Thanks to @bangali this was what I was using:

format(random(“http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/Well look who is home! Hello big fella!/50”, “http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/Long time no see %s! Nice to have you back/50”, “http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/Well what a nice surprise %s! Nice to have you home/50”, “http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/Hey if it isn’t %s! How’s it goin?/50”, “http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/The Big Guy has arrived! Let’s hear it for %s!/50”), whoCameHome)

But that is putting it all in the GET expression. There has to be a way to do a GET request and incorporate the “announce” variable.

[borristhecat]

ok so try putting this in the expression “http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/announce/50” or “http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/{announce}/50” try both also try it without the " "

its probably http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/{announce}/50

basically if the announce part changes colour when you put it in, it should work as its picking up the variable.

Edit:

just tested it you need to put this in as a expression

“http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/{announce}/50”

instead of putting that in the get expression you could also set a variable to that expression and then use the variable as part of the get statement.

incorporating the announce variable will be the same as the way the whocamehome variable is used in the formatting.

just tested it you need to put this in as a expression

“http://192.168.1.100:5005/sayall/{announce}/50”

Did it work @pcgirl65?

[pcgirl65]

Sorry, I didn’t get notified that you had replied. I think it will work. I tested it on a test piston but haven’t yet had it fire with this piston. But it worked in the test piston. Thanks for all the help!

[pcgirl65]

So nothing worked. I didn’t get a push notification or any speach. Not sure why.

Actually, it gave me the push notification when someone leaves. But the arrival doesn’t seem to be working. Any ideas?

[pcgirl65]

@borristhecat can you look at this piston and see if anything jumps out at you? Seems that the departures are working but not the arrivals.

[pcgirl65]

In your piston you have “Select the device you want to use to trigger the arrive message. It can be a contact sensor (on closed) or a motion sensor (on inactive).”

I am not sure I understand why you want the motion sensor to be inactive instead of active?

[borristhecat]

Hi @pcgirl65, sorry only just seen your message. Yes I know what the problem is, you need to move the get up 2 steps before it clears the variables. It needs to be after the push or before.

I am not sure I understand why you want the motion sensor to be inactive instead of active?

It will work with active or inactive but inactive for me works better, my sensor is outside my door so I don’t want it to trigger untill I left that area. IE I’m though my door and it stops detecting.

[pcgirl65]

OK I moved the GET up. That makes sense. However, I am not getting any push notifications when people arrive at home also.

[borristhecat]

@pcgirl65 the only other thing you changed to the actual piston was the active bit, correct? If you add a group in there like I had before so it says changes to active or changes to closed you can then add your virtual switch back in and use this as a test trigger (that’s why it was in there to cover people having sensors or contacts but also people could uses a virtual switch as a tester). Then you can use this to prove the piston and you can work out what the issue is.

I believe it’s because your using active then have the 10 second wait. So because active is only active for a short period it changes back to inactive before the timer has elapsed which then cancels the statement (another reason why I used inactive and why you use closed instead of open).

There are a few way to get over this if that is the case.

1. If using active remove the wait under it.
2. We can change the condition statement to never cancel.
3. Use inactive

[pcgirl65]

OK, thanks I will play around with it.

[borristhecat]

let me know how you get on.

We can change the condition statement to never cancel.

Do you know how to do this?

[pcgirl65]

Grrr! I am still having issues. I wanted to put a condition on the GET so that it wouldn’t yell out at 6 am that someone had left:grin: So I moved that line and everything below to a new IF with conditions of time. However, it did not notify me when I left. I am noticing that ST Routines are not kicking in sometimes. I have a Routine to set mode to Away when everyone leaves and then things happen but lately it doesn’t always change the mode when we have all left. I am on my phone right now but I will play around with this when I get home.

[borristhecat]

your have to post it so I can check but that’s what I used the modes as it seems to work better. shame the modes are not working, ill post below how to do it with times.

I have a Routine to set mode to Away when everyone leaves and then things happen but lately it doesn’t always change the mode when we have all left.

I was having the same issue for a while but think I have got my arive leave piston correct now, the only issue I now have is when the wife has stopped ST and it doesnt change from present to away.

This is how you would have to do it swap the speaker to location and add in your GET.

[pcgirl65]

So this is what I have right now. It gave me a push notification twice that Lauren was home. But it didn’t give me the speech. I am going to try and test it with a virtual switch.

@pcgirl65 that won’t work you have the order wrong. Us the back up bin code from my piston on my last post and add your bits in again.

At the moment when it goes true it will push the message but then it won’t clear the variables. Then instead when it’s false it will speak the text and clear the variables but as you are not cleaning the variables it’s never going to run.

You are also putting the conditions on the last bit which you also don’t want you only want the time conditions on the speaker.

Use back up bin of kj7a that’s got the get in

[pcgirl65]

OK, I changed those lines at the bottom. In your piston I notice that on line 98 you have with “Speaker” and then you Do the variables for the push and speak notifications but actually nothing is being spoken until the next section which is between certain times. Is this a problem for me? Here is what I have now.

[borristhecat]

Your getting there but it’s still positioned in the wrong place. Take another look at my piston above. Then look at your line 91 and your see the issue.

In your piston I notice that on line 98 you have with “Speaker” and then you Do the variables for the push and speak notifications but actually nothing is being spoken until the next section which is between certain times. Is this a problem for me?

Yes I’ve just noticed you have also removed the speaker variable so this may also cause a issue. As your using the get it wouldn’t have mattered if you still had the speaker in the piston, it just would have sat there but because you have removed it it may cause issues.

You have also got the group again but only one thing in it your best bet is to start again. Use bin code

kj7a

that’s all set up for you, don’t change anything at 1st. Just add both your sensor and your virtual contact and your speaker if you don’t want the light don’t add anything to it. Then once it’s created click the light and change it to nothing selected. Then add your get string and test. Then we can tweak.

Also add your people and names
