Although there exists a ChannelTriggeredEvent in HABApp I could not figure our how to create an event listener for a channel triggered event.
Has anyone an example?
Thanks,
Dominik
Do you see the corresponding event in the HABApp_events.log?
Then itās
self.listen_event('name', callback, ChannelTriggeredEvent)
when defining it this way I get:
Expected type 'Optional[Any]' (matched generic type 'Optional[HINT_EVENT_FILTER_OBJ]'), got 'Type[ChannelTriggeredEvent]' instead
It seems the interface expects a filter. I cannot find any ChannelTriggeredEventFilter anywhere.
here my code sniplet:
from HABApp import Rule
from HABApp.openhab.events.channel_events import ChannelTriggeredEvent
import logging
log = logging.getLogger('MyRule')
class MyChannelRule(Rule):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.listen_event('deconz:switch:00212E00C488:04cd15fffe6f9d60011000', self.on_channel, ChannelTriggeredEvent)
def on_channel(self, event: ChannelTriggeredEvent):
log.info('Channel Event: {}'.format(event))
MyChannelRule()
The syntax changed and is now EventFilter(ChannelTriggeredEvent) instead of ChannelTriggeredEvent
Now the rule is added, though not triggering as expected, I did something wrong.
here is the event log I want to trigger on:
[2023-07-28 09:09:48,595] [ HABApp.EventBus] INFO | deconz:switch:00212E00C488:04cd15fffe6f9d60011000:buttonevent: <ChannelTriggeredEvent name: deconz:switch:00212E00C488:04cd15fffe6f9d60011000:buttonevent, event: 3002>
please help!
How to define to trigger on a particular event
Your event name in the listener does not match the name from the event bus
True!
Now it works, thanks
While unsuccessfully trying to filter on channel event (e.g. ā1002ā):
self.listen_event('deconz:switch:00212E00C488:04cd15fffe6f9d60011000:buttonevent', self.on_channel, EventFilter(ChannelTriggeredEvent(event="1002")))
instead of
self.listen_event('deconz:switch:00212E00C488:04cd15fffe6f9d60011000:buttonevent', self.on_channel, EventFilter(ChannelTriggeredEvent, event="1002"))
I got into a situation where HABApp started logging errors on a millisecond level. I had to stop the container.
Here are the log entries which are always repeated in a loop:

Your IDE should be red and screaming since you pass the wrong objects.
This is the correct way:
self.listen_event('deconz:switch:00212E00C488:04cd15fffe6f9d60011000:buttonevent', self.on_channel, EventFilter(ChannelTriggeredEvent, event="1002"))
Is it possible to somehow prevent HabApp from getting into an infinite logging loop?
Fix your code and restart your container. 
Itās always possible to find issues which could lead to an infinite loop.
Thatās why I provide type hints so these issues donāt arise.
Iāll add an additional check which prevents this specific issue in future versions but you should listen to your IDE non the less.
I stumbled upon this thread when trying to make use of the astro:sun channels in my OpenHAB installation. From what Iāve read the code should be something like
self.listen_event('astro:sun:local:noon#event', self.log_event, EventFilter(ChannelTriggeredEvent, event="START"))
However, even without the event="START" it seems that there is an underlying issue I cannot get my head around:
WARNING | Item "astro:sun:local:noon#event" does not exist (yet)! self.listen_event in "DummyRule" may not work as intended.
Playing around with those events is a bit cumbersome as they donāt trigger often
i beleive it should work.
i also trigger many channels, and i also have this warnings in the log but the triggers are executed anyway. for example:
2024-03-15 14:04:45.222 [WARN ] [HABApp.Rule ] - Item "openwebnet:bus_cen_scenario_control:bticino:EWoK_Cen_Lamellen:button#2" does not exist (yet)! self.listen_event in "Shutters" may not work as intended.
2024-03-15 14:04:45.223 [WARN ] [HABApp.Rule ] - Item "openwebnet:bus_cen_scenario_control:bticino:Hwr_Cen:button#1" does not exist (yet)! self.listen_event in "Shutters" may not work as intended.
2024-03-15 14:04:45.223 [WARN ] [HABApp.Rule ] - Item "openwebnet:bus_cen_scenario_control:bticino:EWoK_Cen_Ja:button#17" does not exist (yet)! self.listen_event in "Shutters" may not work as intended.

When you create an event listener HABApp checks if there is e.g. an item or a retained mqtt topics so you can catch typos. Normally this is not an issue because you create the filters through the item objects.
This is the corresponding warning that the check was not successful and that there might be a typo.
Of course in your case itās ok to ignore this warning.
If you want to get rid of it you can create a string item, link it to the event and use the system:trigger-event-string profile to pass the event to the item. That way youāll also have the last event saved in the item.
This is what Iām doing and what I would recommend.

Indeed, it worked. I was just confused by those warnings. I tried before finding this thread but discarded the idea as I thought channels are not supported.
Thank you for the explanation and the guidance!
