Temperature alarm

[Lilak]

Hi, everybody!

I really need some help.

I have a thermometer in my freezer, and I want EG to to warn me if the temperature is below -20 degrees. The paylode I get from the temperature sensor is formated as -25.3|14, the first value is the temperature and the second is the humidity. I only want to use the temperature value.

For now I have got EG to start notepad when the temperature and humidity is -25.3|14.

I need help to get EG to ignore the humidity value, and make an event if the temperature is below a specific value.

Below you can see the macros i have now.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1710">
    <Macro Name="&lt;unnamed macro&gt;" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="TellStickDuo.mandolyn.temperaturehumidity.21.Temperature.Humidity" />
        <Action>
            EventGhost.TriggerEvent(u'{(eg.event.payload)}', 0.0)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1710">
    <Macro Name="&lt;unnamed macro&gt;" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="Main.-25.3|14" />
        <Action>
            System.Execute(u'notepad.exe', u'', 0, False, 2, u'', False, False, u'', False, False, False, False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

Please ask if you need more information.

Thank you!

Best regards

First I'd recommend updating to at least the latest version, though I do recommend the release candidate.

next try this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="0.5.0-rc4">
    <Macro Name="Python Script" XML_Guid="{54968E9B-05A3-4720-B9E6-62F70901B952}">
        <Event Name="TellStickDuo.mandolyn.temperaturehumidity.21.Temperature.Humidity" XML_Guid="{FA1C9F6A-2FB7-4BEF-8345-845777728626}" />
        <Action XML_Guid="{80FD96E2-B2FE-4955-BF9A-D69D7F666CCB}">
            EventGhost.PythonScript(u'print(eg.event.payload)')
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

If your version wont accept this, simply add a python print command to the original event "TellStickDuo.mandolyn.temperaturehumidity.21.Temperature.Humidity" that should give you information about what, if anything is inside it. Hopefully some dictionary values where temperature is given.

If so you can do some eval in the same python script

for instance:

the original event triggers, then python code

Code: Select all

if tempval <=-20:
	eg.TriggerEvent(alarm)

if it doesn't contain a temp value in a dictionary/list/object you could always do something like so in a python script:

Code: Select all

data_1 = eg.event.payload
data_2 = data_1.split('|')

if data_2[0] <= -20:
    eg.TriggerEvent(alarm)

Thank you!

I tried the lastest version, and I tried the RC. I can't use either one, because a couple of my plugins wouldn't work.

The code you gave me didn't work with my version.

Next, "simply add a python print command to the original event", how do I do that?

Best regards

just click the event in the log and copy it (ctrl+c) or right click it and click on copy. then paste it here.



from your explanation you would need to have a script like the one that follows.

This is what you would paste into a python script action. and place it directly under the event in the macro. this is going to stop the macro from running and exit it if the condition is met. if it is not met then the macro will continue running. so any action you place after this script in the macro will continue to run.

@cvben you forgot to do a type conversion from str to float before you do the comparison Good work on the script.

Code: Select all

if float(eg.event.payload.split('|')[0]) > -20:
    eg.StopMacro()
    eg.Exit()

But if you are using this in the Freezer you would want an event if the temperature gets to warm yes???

and if that is the case.

Code: Select all

if float(eg.event.payload.split('|')[0]) <= -20:
    eg.StopMacro()
    eg.Exit()

on another note. you mentioned that you are not able to run the newest version of EG does to plugins not functioning. would you be so kind as to tell me which plugins are not functioning. (if we don't know it's broke we don't know to fix it)

Thank you very much!

Works perfect, now I get a warning to my cellphone when the temperature rises ABOVE (thank you for noticing my mistake) -18 degrees C.

Of cource I will let you know the non working plugins. I will reinstall the RC. What information do you want from me?

Best regards

Here's my problems with RC.

Plugin: Switch King
09:23:54 Starting Switchking V0.1.0
09:23:54 Failed to reach the Switch King server. Check Hostname and Port
09:23:54 Reason: Unauthorized

Plugin: Global Cache (This plugin works, but I get this in the log)
09:23:54 C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\globalcache\__init__.py:545: DeprecationWarning: UdpServer.setsockopt is deprecated. Use UdpServer.socket.setsockopt instead.
09:23:54 self.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)

ok the second is a depreciation warning and is very easy to overcome.

The first on the other hand i have to take a look at and see if there is a way to get a full error from it. but I am thinking that it could possibly have something to do with SSL.

If you want me to test something, just send PM.

attached is an updated version of the global cache plugin. It should fix the issue.

If you would be so kind as to give me a link to where the plugin is located so I can post a fixed version on there as well.

Not a good idea posting your e-mail on an open forum. you are going to end up getting all kinds of spam e-mail

[Lilak]

I think I got it from http://www.eventghost.rocks/forum/db/pl ... bal_cache/

Thanks for the reminder about email.

Best regards

give this version of Switchking a try. i converted it to use the requests library.

[kgschlosser]

I see you found our work in progress plugin repository. EventGhost.rocks is a test site.

[kgschlosser]

let me know how those work out for ya.
