Problems adding devices with Include/Exclude

[joacim69]

Hi! I've been trying for hours now to add more than lights. To be able to use Flic buttons I successfully, with the old bridge, use input_boolean switches and use automations for each one, which worked great. however, when trying to populate them I seem to do something wrong.

I've tried with patterns, labels, domains to find either just input, input_boolean* or the specific entity, but I can just find the lights entitites. What am I doing wrong?

Like this:

{
  "name": "My Hub 3",
  "port": 5543,
  "filter": {
    "include": [
      { "type": "domain", "value": "light" },
      { "type": "label", "value": "input*" }
    ],
    "exclude": [

    ]
  }
}

Or this:

{
  "name": "My Hub ny",
  "port": 5543,
  "filter": {
    "include": [
      {
        "type": "domain",
        "value": "light"
      },
      {
        "type": "domain",
        "value": "Switch ändra all belysning",

    ],
    "exclude": []
  }
}

In your first example you are using the "label" type, but use a pattern as value. If you have type "label", you have to use an existing label from home assistant. In your second example you are using type "domain" and the value seems to be the name of an entity.

To solve your problem use one of the following:

{ "type": "domain", "value": "input_boolean" }

or

{ "type": "pattern", "value": "input_boolean.*" }

or

{ "type": "pattern", "value": "input_boolean.my_specific_entity" }

Thanks for your help. I created a very simple one, but it finds nothing anyways. Do I have to restart the addon each time or is there anything else to try?

{ "name": "testing", "port": 5541, "filter": { "include": [ { "type": "domain", "value": "input_boolean" } ], "exclude": [] } }

This is the Boolean switch I'd like to populate

I think input_boolean entities are not getting imported. For me input_boolean entities are not getting imported

Tried these... but input_boolean entities not getting imported

yep you are right, forgot about that. i missed some domains during the refactoring (scene, automation, script, input_boolean).

I'm just happy that I wasn't totally lost 😎

pattern switch, light and climate not working

I created a new issue for the missing domains: #21

@truongbber what is your issue about? Do you see any error logs?

[joacim69]

Yay, now Input_booleans work with alpha 10 :-)

Is there any way to modify the filter rules for the created bridge? At the moment, I only delete an create new one for adding or removing rules. Thanks

[t0bst4r]

At the moment editing is not possible. I'll create a new issue for that to track.

For what it's worth, here's a working config file:

{ "name": "matterhub new", "port": 5531, "filter": { "include": [ { "type": "domain", "value": "input_boolean" }, { "type": "domain", "value": "light" }, { "type": "domain", "value": "automation" } ], "exclude": [] } }

can't add specific entities, after configuration it doesn't show any devices Config: Or

[t0bst4r]

wow... it could be caused by this 🤣

[t0bst4r]

I'll close this issue, since #30 is more specific.
