Execute a rule by another rule

---

@developer can I also use the API for simulate pressing a amazon dash button?

@temp

With pimatic-amazing-dash-button it is currently not possible.

With pimatic-dash-button I don’t think it is currently possible either, but I haven’t tried this out. Even though it is a ButtonsDevice the action declaration is missing on the most derived class.

I’ll provide a solution for pimatic-amazing-dash-button asap

@mwittig I am using your plugin so I wait. Thanks

@temp Released pimatic-amazing-dash-button@0.9.13.

See also README for details on trigger action.

but there is a possibility to execute the THEN part of a rule via api.
i know that @slix made that possible in his kodi addon. there, you are able to trigger the then part of rules (from within kodi!)

@leader21 said in Execute a rule by another rule:

Well, not exactly. The code you’re referring to is using the execute-action a service. This allows for executing an action string, but it is not referring to the action part of a specific rule. For example, the actionString property may look like as follows:

{"actionString": "switch mySwitch off"}

It should also be noted that execute-action can only handle a single action. It does not allow for an action statement with a complex action expression contain multiple actions.

ok, maybe the wrong part in the code ^^
just have a look here

the pimatic addon in kodi scans all rules and provides a trigger option.

Any feedback here @mwittig

Big thanks to your update

I have no idea, guys. Maybe the author of the kodi plugin can shed some light on this

@slix, Jannis can you help us with that?
