Using timetriggers with apps, __init__.py

[beiarn]

Hi.
As I still learn i have picked the road to create my own energycontroller in pyscript. My original script works like a charm. To make it more easy to add new energy sources i want controlled, i have decided to rewrite my script into an app to make it more userfriendly.

I have been using @dlashua 's "alert" script at the wiki page as my basic method(I have learned very many new things by these scripts. Thanks mate). Could be, it would have been an better road to use class objects. (input are welcome)

ATM: Everything works fine except my two time triggers.
I need one 10 second time trigger to refresh the powerregulators data.
And i need one 1hour time trigger to update price data and evaluate if heat is allowed to be applied current hour.

my app is structured like this:

imports ,config schema,etc
def make_energycontroller(config):
Loading config array and test if entities exist
@task_unique(econtrol_entity)
@state_trigger(f'True')
@time_trigger('startup')
def energy_controller():
Putting time triggers after this seem not to work, but it does not give any error and the scripts runs without timetriggers
I have also tried to call two functions from here, but it will not work.

At the end of the script im using the helpers:
def load_apps
def load_apps_list
and
def load to run the app.

Any ideas where to put the timetriggers and code, to get this working properly?

Looking forward to hear from you.

code example:

def make_energycontroller(config):

#Verify the config
config = CONFIG_SCHEMA(config)
#log.info(config)
#return

econtrol_entity = f'pyscript.{APP_NAME}_{config["name"]}'
master_entity = f'pyscript.{APP_NAME}'
test_main_ent(master_entity)
test_attr(master_entity + ".apply_heat_p1h")
test_attr(master_entity + ".apply_heat_p2h")
test_attr(master_entity + ".apply_heat_p3h")
test_attr(master_entity + ".apply_heat_p4h")
test_attr(master_entity + ".apply_heat_p5h")
test_attr(master_entity + ".apply_heat_p6h")

log.info(f'{econtrol_entity}: Loading')

state.persist(
    econtrol_entity,
    default_value='none',
    default_attributes={
        "apply_heat_booster": 'False',
        "apply_heat_now": 'False'
    }
)

registered_esources.append(econtrol_entity)

@task_unique(econtrol_entity)
@state_trigger(f'True')
@time_trigger('startup')
def energy_controller():
    test_main_ent(econtrol_entity)
    test_attr(econtrol_entity + ".apply_heat_now")
    pricearr = libecutils.get_def_prices(config["price-sensor"])
    #PeakValue = libecutils.getPeakValue(libecutils.get_def_prices(config["price-sensor"]), 0, 3)
    PeakValue = libecutils.getPeakValue(pricearr, 0, config["powerfactor"])
    libecstrategies.getPriceForecast_HPC(econtrol_entity, pricearr, PeakValue, config["powerfactor"]) # hent pris varselet, neste 6-7 timer
    libecstrategies.getHeatCapacitorBoosterState(econtrol_entity) # Oppdater Booster states
    HCstate = libecstrategies.updateHCStates(econtrol_entity, config["energy-source"]) # Oppdater capacitor states
    limiter_active = eval(config["activatelimiter"])
    if limiter_active:
        log.info("Power limiter - activated")
        state.setattr(econtrol_entity + ".energy_limiter", 'True')
        libecstrategies.EnergyLimiting(econtrol_entity, config["energy-source"], config["regulator-sensor"], config["limit-treshold"])
    else:
        state.setattr(econtrol_entity + ".energy_limiter", 'False')
        log.info("Power limiter - deactivated")
    
    if HCstate == "comfort":
        state.set(
            econtrol_entity,
            "comfort"
        )
    elif HCstate == "none":
        state.set(
            econtrol_entity,
            "none"
        )
    elif HCstate == "sleep":
        state.set(
            econtrol_entity,
            "sleep"
        )
registered_entities.append(econtrol_entity)

hourly_updates(config)
update_limiter_states(config)

Hi again.
I figured it out.
It was my own fault for not reading the documentation, good enough.
I found the section about "Trigger Closures".
Reading that and some testing was all I needed to understand and find my own fault.

Now i need to look for bugs and clean up the code, before I add new heatsources to the config.yaml.
Crossing fingers for no more big issues on this one. ;)

Happy Easter
