The following automation Automations in Home Assistant allow you to automatically respond to things that happen in and around your home. [Learn more] example shows how to raise a custom event called event_light_state_changed with entity_id as the event data.
choose is useful when you need to pick one of many choices . if then else is useful when you need to pick one thing or another (or just one thing or not). Obviously, the two techniques have overlapping applications. For example, you can use choose to pick one thing or another, just like if then else, but it will be more verbose.
I’d say, copy the conditions of your 4 automations to the options’ conditions of your “choose” and have fun. You might want to consider adding a trigger ID to your triggers (in the new automation) and include that as a condition in the option.
Based on the results of your experiments, it’s the choose that appears to be an exception to the rule. Execution didn’t stop after one of the choose’s options resulted in a failure. It’s behaving as if continue_on_error: true even though that statement wasn’t explicitly included in the automation.
Choose is a nice addition to automations, but after having looked at it, I’ve realized there’s very few of my automations which would benefit from it. What is far more needed in my opinion is an OR IF type statement, where we can group multiple conditions and actions under a single trigger.
Hi all Can the conditions within the action ‘Choose’ be made OR instead of AND? What is the syntax for that? This is the current YAML: alias: Evening Check description: >- When I put my phone on charge, at home, af…
This shorthand notation can be used everywhere in Home Assistant where conditions are accepted. For example, in and , or and not conditions: conditions : - condition : or conditions : - " {{ is_state('device_tracker.iphone', 'away') }}" - condition : numeric_state entity_id : " sensor.temperature" below : 20
Here is the code I’m trying to adapt: - id: heating2_timerswitch_on_choose_temp alias: Heating Chambres when enabling timer or restoring from away select the appropriate temperature trigger: - platform: state ...
In an automation that uses choose can common conditions be placed separately instead of repeating them in each choose? For example, in my current automation each choose rule has 3 conditions which are common across all of them, these being: Common (repeated) conditions:
Hi All, I love the new options for automation and script. I wondering if this will work also: Within the action a service call and then a choose option. Will this work or not?
