About Rainmaker Automations

Postby Bernawong4 » Fri Feb 17, 2023 2:42 am

Recently, I am working on a project about an air quality control system, based on an 7 parameter air quality sensor and an air purifier.
Both of them have their own ESP32 to collect data or control.
I just finish the firmware of them, but found an issue on the Automations function on ESP Rainmaker apps.
The result why I want to use Automations function is to build a system for admin user to determine how it works on different situations.
However, I can only set the actions based on one parameter changing on the Automation function. Apart from that, I cannot handle the multi cases. For example, if I want the system to output 3 different power of air purifier, based on the different range of the CO2(<500ppm, 500-800pmm or >800pmm), I just unable to set 3 automation to handle with this function.
Could someone give me some hints about that? Thank you.

Even though the phone apps do not show this (to maintain simplicity), events support "and" and "or" operators, which you can specify as "event_operator" like shown in swagger api doc. "and" operators would require the event params to be part of a single MQTT message, whereas "or" just means that one of the events should occur.

For the second part of the question, you will have to create 3 different automations. Did you face any issues with that?

Thank you for reply.
The other issue is just because I don't know how to create an automation with 2 events and the automation will be triggered at random order.
