A few small additions to devices.

---

Hello,

I have a few small requests. I’ll state them first and then clarify:

• use the battery info from my HomeduinoRFTemperature sensor in my rules.

• be able to disable the logging / graphing of device status.

• be able to “set” a variable for a fixed amount of time.

First: In the debug window I see the telegrams from my Hama outdoor sensor with battery info. And I would like to use that in my rules. That way I can get a Pushover message when the battery needs replacing.***

Second: In my graph window I see the graphing option for the dimlevel of a lamp. For me, that is useless info. I would like to be able to configure the dimmer device so that I will not show up on the graphing page.

Third: When creating a rule; “switching” and “turning on/off” can be followed by a “for X secs/mins/hrs”. I think that can be useful for $variables as well.

That is it (for now…)

this needs to be implemented to the weather protocol and depends on the protocol you’re using.
don’t know if this is a big thing, but maybe icesory is able to help here.

should be possible already or i don’t understand it.
maybe you mean if a state changes? this can be done e.g. by IF $Switch.state changes Then do something

Thnx for checking:

I’m using my sensor through a HomeduinoRFTemperature device with “weather1” as protocol. In the debug messages I read:
weather1: { id: 87, channel: 1, temperature: 3.5, humidity: 63, battery: 'Good' }
so the info is in the Pi . Now to be able to do something with it. Are you suggesting I post the request on the Homeduino Github page?

And the last one: when I create a rule that looks like:
set $houseState to "afwezig" and after 200 ms set $helper-houseState to 1 for 5 seconds

When I try to save this rule, I get an errormessage saying:
Action "set $helper-houseState to 1" can't have an "for"-Suffix.

So I would like to be able to set the variable for a fixed amount of time.
Of course I can say set $var to 1 and after 5 seconds set $var to 0 but I like clean code. As short as possible.

If pimatic receives it, it should be visible in the “Variables” section.
You can use the value like any other variable $device.battery
