The sequence of actions is specified using the Home Assistant Script Syntax. Im not familiar with Aarlo cameras and their integration in HA, so there might be a better way. I always set the icon and friendly_name via customize.yaml icon: mdi:alarm If the script overlooked to first check if echo is defined, it would fail at the first line of code that attempted to use the value of echo. in another parallelized action.

See Available-Trigger-Data. This is not a good thing in my scenario. i tid Next question is how to set a variable as the value of itself multiplied with 3600. I see things like this in scripts often, for example in the script below there is the who variable.

For example: More choose can be used together. While executing a script you can add a condition in the main sequence to stop further execution. title: "Tg till jobb" Use-case: If the light is on (or after this choose block finishes if it was off) then it will always proceed to the next part (storing the lights brightness and waiting until it is turned off, its brightness changes or the timeout expires). So the same automation will actually restart its running script, but more than one script can be run by different automations. contain strings and that causes script.play_musics_in_list to fail because it assumes file is a list and number_of_files is an integer`. If you flick the light off the wait_template kicks out and ends the script (since the light is off). they too have finished or errored.

You can have a script, and say you have a service call within it, you can call a variable/argument that has never really been declared anywhere else and can call it whatever you want. I have yet another question. Just cooked this up on the flight San Diego - Toronto ;-) Extracts scripts logic into a script helper Scripts now accept variables to be passed in when turned on via service. For example, the output of a template is always a string. action: The script integration will create an entity for each script and allow them to Why dont you pass the full entity id to the script instead of just the name? All sub-options are only used for creating a representation of this script in the UI. All this should still happen in my proposal. message: "{{ message }}" Seems like you would want it to be restart . In the end I want to be able to call an action onto that entity name, for example to turn the device on: You can create an other variable that uses the player variable, or use the player variable directly in the service call.

But given what you have you could replace the last step in the script with something like this: Probably the easiest way would be to use a variable in this script, and then call it two or three times from another script where it passes the entity_id of each camera for each call. It doesnt throw any errors in the logs. # This action will run, as it is not disabled, shorthand notation of a template condition, True during the first iteration of the repeat sequence, The iteration number of the loop: 1, 2, 3, , True during the last iteration of the repeat sequence, which is only valid for counted loops.

This does not work: and then there are the Hass variables the same thing its a nightmare. The first variant allows you to define variables that will be set when the trigger fires. tttt August 21, 2019, 5:19am #5 Thank you again for your help! light.) The URL query parameters of the request (if provided). Probably the easiest way would be to use a variable in this script, and then call it two or three times from another script where it passes the entity_id of each camera for each call. Thank, this is a helpful example. If you pass the full entity id (incl. The first conditions/sequence pair is like the if/then, and can be used just by itself. condition can also be a list of conditions and execution will then only continue if ALL conditions return true. It is used for: Formatting outgoing messages in, for example, the notify platforms and Alexa component.
