multiple time-based triggers and startup/reload combined about pyscript HOT 4 CLOSED

Ah - I didn't think of that, since I overloaded @time_trigger with no arguments to handle the startup/reload case.

Here's a quick fix. Just have a 2nd function that handles the startup/reload trigger, and call the same function:

@time_trigger
def set_daytime_on_startup():
   set_daytime()

You could add a function argument so your function can tell the difference between startup and a time trigger.

I'll plan on adding a "startup" time-spec option to @time_trigger so it can be used alongside the other time specifications.

Note also that you could collapse your four hour-based arguments into one using cron:

@time_trigger("cron(0 8,10,18,21 * * *)", "once(sunrise)", "once(sunset)")

BTW, I just released a new version that supports Jupyter, making it much easier to write, debug and test code and logic. It's way easier to use that than saving / reload.

Cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am already knee-deep in jupyter and debugpy debugger looking at the inner workings of your component.

I was thinking of using a second function with a seperate trigger, but wanted to be sure, there was no easier way.
By the way, similar problem quickly arises, when different event type/expression combinations are needed.

You're right regarding the cron notation but I prefer having each definition separate.

To make processing of multiple time_triggers / trigger types easier in the called function, I propose for @time_trigger:

• trigger_type is always set to time
• add keyword argument time_spec set to the datetime of the definition responsible and maybe None for startup/reload

Good suggestions. I'll add them to my todo list.

"startup" is now a valid @time_trigger argument with commit 59a5461. I ended up using trigger_time as the datetime for the trigger time that caused the trigger.
