[Solved] Rules trying to learn

BDE · March 8, 2020, 2:32pm

Trying hard to learn rules stuff.Want to make Sonos controller turn on reciever when playing.

rule "Sonos plays"

when
  Item sonos:CONNECT:RINCON_000E58AACE2201400:control == "Play"
then
  marantz_power.sendCommand(ON)
else
 marantz_power.sendCommand(OFF)
end

But it doesnt work…

BDE · March 8, 2020, 2:41pm

Due to LOG errors i have changed to this
rule “Sonos plays”

when
  Item sonos:CONNECT:RINCON_000E58AACE2201400:control == "PLAY"
then
  marantz_power.sendCommand(ON) AND
  marantz_input.sendCommand(CD)
end

But still have error.

2020-03-08 15:39:51.486 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model ‘hus.rules’ has errors, therefore ignoring it: [94,3]: no viable alternative at input ‘:’

Dont know what is wrong

Your triggering item looks like a channel? What is the name of the item?

If you are trying to use the channel then try:

Channel sonos:CONNECT:RINCON_000E58AACE2201400:control triggered PLAY

these are my reciever items

Switch marantz_power    "Receiver" <switch>         {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:general#power"}

Where is the sonos item?

BDE · March 8, 2020, 2:53pm

Player Sonos_stue_Controller   "Controller"                          (Sonos) {channel="sonos:CONNECT:stue:control"}
Dimmer Sonos_stue_Volume       "Volume [%.1f %%]" <soundvolume>      (Sonos) {channel="sonos:CONNECT:stue:volume"}
Switch Sonos_stue_Mute         "Mute"             <soundvolume_mute> (Sonos) {channel="sonos:CONNECT:stue:mute"}
Switch Sonos_stue_LED          "LED"              <switch>           (Sonos) {channel="sonos:CONNECT:stue:led"}
String Sonos_stue_CurrentTrack "Now playing [%s]" <text>             (Sonos) {channel="sonos:CONNECT:stue:currenttrack"}
String Sonos_stue_State        "Status [%s]"      <text>             (Sonos) {channel="sonos:CONNECT:stue:state"}

thx for the help btw

And what does your events.log show you happening to your Item?

Bad syntax - there are no == symbols in Item based triggers.
You perhaps want changed to

H102 · March 8, 2020, 2:57pm

rule "Sonos plays"

when
Item Sonos_stue_Controller received update // or use changed to PLAY
then
    if(Sonos_stue_Controller.state == PLAY){
        marantz_power.sendCommand(ON) 
        marantz_input.sendCommand("CD") // not sure about the CD part??
}
end

RolfV · March 8, 2020, 2:58pm

I guess the last part should be marantz_input.sendCommand("CD"), it’s a string item after all.

BDE · March 8, 2020, 2:58pm

CD is the name of the reciever input.

H102 · March 8, 2020, 3:02pm

I edited the rule so give it a try and see what happens. Also try changed to PLAY if received update does not work.

@BDE

Could you please use “code fences” for better reading?

Thanks a lot.

e.g. your last post would look like:

Switch marantz_power    "Receiver"    {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:general#power"}
Dimmer marantz_volume   "Volume"      {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:mainZone#volume"}
Number marantz_volumeDB "Volume [%.1f dB]" {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:mainZone#volumeDBe"}
Switch marantz_mute     "Mute"        {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:mainZone#mute"}
Switch marantz_z2power  "Zone 2"      {channel="denonmarantz:avr:006782c375f:zone2#power"}
String marantz_input    "Input [%s]"  {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:mainZone#input" }
String marantz_surround "Surround: [%s]" {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:general#surroundProgram"}
String marantz_command                {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006782c375f:general#command"}

@BDE I see you have another post about rules. I recommend starting small with one or two items first. Then expand with more rules after you get a better understanding of how to write them.

BDE · March 8, 2020, 3:15pm

Now it looks like this. No log errors ,but reciever doesnt turn on

when
Item Sonos_stue_Controller received update PLAY
then
    if(Sonos_stue_Controller.state == PLAY){
        marantz_power.sendCommand(ON) 
        marantz_input.sendCommand("CD")
}
end

BDE · March 8, 2020, 3:16pm

@H102 Yes just realized that. One step at the time

BDE · March 8, 2020, 3:17pm

@Celaeno1 DONE

H102 · March 8, 2020, 3:20pm

Did you try:

Item Sonos_stue_Controller changed to PLAY

Also, can you turn on the receiver via BasicUI to verify that it does work with OH?

BDE · March 8, 2020, 3:31pm

yes and yes.

H102 · March 8, 2020, 3:33pm

OK so the issue is with the trigger. What do you see in the logs for the sonos status when it changes? Please post the actual log.

BDE · March 8, 2020, 3:37pm

ok
