Failed to start

[FamTurri]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I wanted to ask why when the automation starts it gives me this error?

Can you see the service on development tools?

[FamTurri]

Hi EV, No, I can't see the service. how should i start the "logger" service

[EvTheFuture]

Hi EV, No, I can't see the service. how should i start the "logger" service

Interesting. Do you have logger: in your configuration.yaml?

[FamTurri]

no, i can't find it in my file

[EvTheFuture]

I'm curious to see if you add it, if the service will be exposed or why the service is missing.

Are you using HassOS?

[FamTurri]

Yes i use HassOS. I try to add the service

[EvTheFuture]

Can I ask, have you checked debug on the automation?

If yes, you can also try to unckeck it. The error will persist when starting home assistant, but it should at least work

[FamTurri]

nothing, always error. this is the log.......

[EvTheFuture]

Yes, it's because the service logger.set_level doesn't exist for some reason.

Have you activated Advanced Mode on the user you are logged in as?

[FamTurri]

Yes, activate. (Italian language)

[EvTheFuture]

I've successfully replicated the problem. It occur when the logger component has not been activated.

Trying to figure out a way to detect this.

As a work around add the following to your configuration.yaml

logger:
  default: info

[FamTurri]

Hi Hv, I succeeded, I added the following code in the configuration.yaml file

logger: default: info logs: custom_components.hacs: debug hacs: debug queueman: debug AIOGitHubAPI: debug

Now I try your automation if it works and let you know.

[EvTheFuture]

logger: default: info logs: custom_components.hacs: debug hacs: debug queueman: debug AIOGitHubAPI: debug

Now I try your automation if it works and let you know.

I think it should be enough with

logger:

Or possibly

logger:
  default: info

[FamTurri]

Only "logger: " not work

[EvTheFuture]

Only "logger: " not work

How about

logger:
  default: info

[FamTurri]

Yes only "default: info" does not give me errors

[FamTurri]

The automation starts but does not turn on the light. how can i do further checks?

[EvTheFuture]

The automation starts but does not turn on the light. how can i do further checks?

If you have checked the checkbox that shall force the light on, it will only turn on the lamp when the elevation of the sun changes from being above the threshold you have specified to a state where the elevation is below that threshold.

The reason for this is in case you manually switch of the light, the automation will not keep turning it on until the next day.

You can go to the developer console and check the current elevation of the entity sun.sun and set the start elevation to something lower just to make sure it works as expected.

[FamTurri]

I have set the automations to automatic, the light does not turn on. I installed the "log viewer" addon and this is what happens

[EvTheFuture]

In order for it to work the sun need to be above 0 degrees and exactly when it changes tons or lower it should turn on.

What you can do to test this is to go to developer tools, search for sun.sun och click on it.

Update elevation to 1 and rising to false and click on set state.

Then change the elevation to -1 and click set state.

See if the light turns on or ifnyöu see something in the log?

I will push a work around for the logging as well

My BAD!

Can you please try the latest version I just pushed here?

[FamTurri]

Hello Ev, strange, with the new version the automation is not created

[EvTheFuture]

Just a quick thought, have you selected the light entity or the light device?

It looks like it is the device which does not work. It need to be the entity_id of the light entity or group.

[FamTurri]

I loaded the previous version and automation is created.

the device has been tested with another automation and is functioning.

I'll take a look. Thanks for the feedback.

[EvTheFuture]

@FamTurri I'm really sorry. I must have been super tired yesterday. I just pushed a corrected version cb8fb3b

[EvTheFuture]

@FamTurri Can you when you have the time confirm that the latest version is working?

[FamTurri]

hi Ev, don't worry. now automation is created, but still does not turn on the light

[EvTheFuture]

That is super weird. It works for me.

Have you tried the trick i suggested to manually update the elevation of the sun.sun entity?

[FamTurri]

This is the "log" of your routine (the light off) This is the "log" of another routine (the light on) I am not an expert, but it seems that it does not call the service

[FamTurri]

video2.mp4

Excellent with a video.

Yes that is as expected. The execute button shall only be used to activate/deactivate debugging. It will not work with the lights on/off properly.

The only thing that will turn on and off the lights is when a state change trigger the automation and the sun.sun's elevation attribute has changed from a value that is greater then when the light shall turn on, to a value that is lowe (or equal) to when the light shall turn on (and vice versa for off).

But for that you need to activate the automations. It looks like they are inactivated in your video!?

To test it, first make sure the automations are activated. Then you go to developer tools -> states Search for the sun

Update the values as follows: Rising: false Elevation: 50

Click set state.

Then immediately update elevation to -50 and click set state again.

This should trigger the light to turn on.

[EvTheFuture]

@FamTurri Can you when you have the time confirm that the latest version is working?

[FamTurri]

does not work. I don't know if it's my problem, I see that the sensors don't update anymore.

however, even if I set 50 -50, the light does not turn on

[EvTheFuture]

I tried yesterday on a completely new system and it worked out of the box (debug turned off).

Did you double check that the automations are active? In the recording they were inactive.

[FamTurri]

the new system you have installed is Hassio with hacs enabled? Please, share me the automation and configuration files of your new system and how you set up your automation

[EvTheFuture]

the new system you have installed is Hassio with hacs enabled? Please, share me the automation and configuration files of your new system and how you set up your automation

It has HACS enabled, but nothing installed from HACS other than the "Lovelace Swipe Navigation" frontend.

This is the generated automation

- id: '1611861887282'
  alias: Dim living room window lamp based on sun elevation
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: EvTheFuture/dim_lights_based_on_sun_elevation.yaml
    input:

      end_elevation_setting: -10
      turn_off: true
      end_elevation_rising: '5'
      start_elevation_rising: -5

I just added the blueprint in the Lovelace Blueprint importing tool from this URL: https://github.com/EvTheFuture/homeassistant-blueprints/blob/2abdb8f938050e1930f888630a538512b8315089/blueprints/dim_lights_based_on_sun_elevation.yaml

And then created the automation. Light turns on (haven't tested turn off on this system yet since the sun is still below the horizon :) )

Edit: I can now confirm that the light was turned off now when the sun rose above 5° elevation.

[FamTurri]

I'm sorry, but if I set the height of the sun why do you put automatic turn on?

I don't follow...

If you check turn on, the light will be switched on when a state change happen and the sun's elevation is equal to or below the value you set and the last state of the sun's elevation was higher than the value you have set in the automation.

[FamTurri]

Hi Ev, I want to inform you that the routine works. Now I have to configure it. I want to ask you if I have to turn it on at a precise elevation of the sun, should I activate the "Turn on lights automatically" function?

[EvTheFuture]

Hi Ev, I want to inform you that the routine works. Now I have to configure it. I want to ask you if I have to turn it on at a precise elevation of the sun, should I activate the "Turn on lights automatically" function?

When you turn on the light, the automation will always update the brightness of the light to match the elevation of the sun.

If you turn on the light in the middle of the day it will be adjusted to the brightest setting. If you turn it on at midnight (or when the sun is below the end elevation setting) it will be the most dim.

The always turn on feature will turn on the light automatically for you when the elevation cross over your start setting. That is the only thing it will do. This is if you have a window lamp for instance and you want to to be lit during the night.

If you manually change the brightness at any point the automation will no longer update the brightness until you turn off and on the light again.

I hope this made it more clear?

[FamTurri]

ok clear
