So what I want to do is, if my phone of my gf home change from non present to present and stay present for st least 2minutes, it changes from away to home and give a message depending who it is.
I also want this to work if the mode is home aka If I’m home and GF arrives
I want it to welcome her
Thanks
Click on the AND between changes to present and stays present for 2 minutes… Change it from AND to FOLLOWED By.
The presence cannot change and stay for two minutes at the same time.
You can also just eliminate the changes to and keep the “stays present for 2 minutes”.
I wrote the following then noticed that @michicago beat me to it whilst I was trying… what the hell, I’ll reply anyway lol
Each of your blocks has two triggers in the IF’s (changes to and stays)… these two triggers cannot happen at the same exact time so your piston will never fire.
You only need the one IF for each block (stays present for 2 minutes).
If I change the and to followed by it now says follows whiting 1 min by stays for 2 min
What should I put there
Just reduce it down to one IF…
IF
iPhone’s presence stays present for 2 minutes
THEN
change mode
Send notification
But I want different conditions
I want that if my phone change to present then it says hi me
While if my gf gets present it says hi her
Yeah… you still keep the two seperate blocks (one for you, one for her)… but only one IF in each block.
IF
Your iPhone’s presence stays present for 2 minutes
THEN
change mode
Send notification you came home
IF
Her iPhone’s presence stays present for 2 minutes
THEN
change mode
Send notification she came home
I see but I don’t understand why doing if this AND this do didn’t work
But ok I guess I need to learn more
You could also do it in a single block using an expression for the notification:
IF
Any of Gyslain’s iPhone or Julie’s iPhone’s presence stays present for 2 minutes
THEN
change mode
Send notification: “welcome home “ ($currentEventDevice = Gyslain’s iPhone ? Gyslain : Julie)
All conditions and triggers need to be true at the exact same moment for an ‘AND’ piston to fire.
At the moment in time that a Presence Sensor changes to present, it hasn’t been present for two minutes, it’s been present for 0 seconds… so the ‘stays present’ part cannot be true.
Basically, you can only have one trigger, everything else needs to be a condition.
This will work:
IF
Trigger
AND
condition
But this won’t:
IF
Trigger
AND
trigger
Make sense but if I do this
IF
Your iPhone’s presence stays present for 2 minutes
THEN
change mode
Send notification you came hom
Won’t that notification each 2 minutes? Which I why I tried when présence change from non présent to present
Yes, that will delay your notification too. You can fix that by having yet another IF statement.
IF your iphone presence changes
Then send message
IF your iphone presence stays for 2 minutes
Then change status
It won’t send every two minutes
It’s not a loop statement, it needs presence to change to cause the two minute counter.
I modified the Gyslain part, would this work or would I nee to put the stays present in an indépendant if?
Maybe I’m trying to think this too many human and not enough computer?
Because what it was doing is, how the GPS report my location was if I get out my parking slot it considérés me away and if I move a lit5le I’m considered present again, so I wanna make sure that the presence change from non present to present AND stays present for 2 minutes before it sends the notification.
I also wanna make sure that AFTER 2 minutes of stay in presence ( after being in non present it change the location to home)
Why? I understand that I don’t understand this easily but I wanna understand what I’m doing wrong
I’m visual. Just saying do this wont make me understand I need to see a full configuration like what I wanna do to understand
I gave you the solution in post 7.
I explained that ‘Stays present’ only fires once.
I explained you can’t do a trigger inside a trigger
You create a new piston doing the complete opposite.
Guess I forgot to answer that my mistake
But I get notifications each 2 minutes since the piston always run I woke up with like 200messagea sayin* welcome home
Anyway I appreciate your help and sorry if I was a bother
I’ll just try to reread the full wiki from start to end.
I know that I’m slow but I really wanna learn this
So once again thanks for trying
Hi please don’t get mad at me but i got another question
I copied everything in post 7 and it seems to work but only if we arrive at the same time
EXEMPLE I am home all day, and she arrives
It will fire Welcome home julie + welcome home gyslain
and vise versa
