Sharing : Afval kalendar in text sensor

[jvdz]

Is the wrong data something I can solve?

Not much you can do about it as that is returned in the result of the URL with your postalcode and housenr.
Hope they will fix it at the source some day, although it seems the website itself isn't bothered about this wrong data received, so they ignore it too there.

Ok, great!
One more question; if I use the dummy to trigger an update for testing purpose; should the message notification also work? In my case I don't get any messages.

Code: Select all

NotificationEmailAdress = {"[email protected]","[email protected]"} -- Specify multiple Email Addresses for the notifications. Leave empty to skip email notification
Notificationsystem = "telegram" 

Both are configured within Domoticz and working (verified by pushing test).

[jvdz]

Notifications will only work at the defined times for the specific afvaltype and at the defined time+reminder:

-- ### define a line for each afvaltype_cfg returned by the webrequest:
-- hour & min ==> the time the check needs to be performed and notification send when daysbefore is true
-- daysbefore ==> 0 means that the notification is send on the day of the planned garbage collection
-- daysbefore ==> X means that the notification is send X day(s) before the day of the planned garbage collection
-- reminder ==> Will send a second reminder after x hours. 0=no reminder (needs to be in the same day!)
-- text ==> define the text for the notification.

All clear?

All clear!
Thanks for your help!

[jvdz]

All clear!

Sorry, My quote was merely to explain it in more detail and not to tell you that "you could have read it yourself"!
It was a logical question to ask and just wanted to share the details for all to read!

Haha, no problem! At least it was no 'RTFM'...

[Thuis]

Ah... ok, just let me know the website you use and your postal code so I can have a look to see what the response looks like.
Just PM the info to me.
Think I have the above covert, so send me an Email to my github emailaddress with your postal code so I can confirm my tests en I will send you a test script you can try in your setup.

Jos

I finally sent an email to your github. Sorry for being so late to comply. I am very surprised, thanks for helping me, would be great if it works.

[Thuis]

@jvdz This is so cool, and it is working perfectly, thank you so much for adding my county to your afval kalender. I tested it and it is messaging, mailing and notifying me on all media. The correct dates and wastes are displayed in the sensor, so thanks again, i am very happy here. Just to let you and everyone else know

[jvdz]

@Thuis, You are welcome.
Made the following updates available in GitHub:

Code: Select all

Added:
- script for Goerree-Overflakkee
- script for OPZET using API for those where the screen scraping script 
won't work

[Thuis]

Great, never forgetting the garbage again, and never thinking about it. Telegram and Kodi are telling me when and what garbage has to be at the street the day before the collection. Yes !

Found this script, and i am using the afvalwijzer one.
I was not happy with the Afvalwijzer.nl description of the waste showing up on the text sensor, so i replaced it with the text portion of the afvalwijzer_cfg table thus:

replace (around line 228) : stextformat = stextformat:gsub('ldesc',rdesc[web_afvaltype:upper().."_L"])
with : stextformat = stextformat:gsub('ldesc', afvaltype_cfg[web_afvaltype].text)

this only works if you you use the long description in the textformat string. (textformat = "dd mmm yyyy ldesc")

this replaces the generic description from afvalwijzer "Groente, Fruit en Tuinafval" with my local description "Groene Container met GFT afval"

I hope someone will benefit from this.

with : stextformat = stextformat:gsub('ldesc', afvaltype_cfg[web_afvaltype].text)

Thanks for the suggestion.
I will make the following change so this option is simply added as alternative:

Code: Select all

                        stextformat = stextformat:gsub('ldesc',rdesc[web_afvaltype:upper().."_L"])
                        stextformat = stextformat:gsub('sdesc',web_afvaltype)
                        stextformat = stextformat:gsub('tdesc', afvaltype_cfg[web_afvaltype].text)

and change the description at the top to:

Code: Select all

   -- Afvaltype description options
   --    sdesc = short afvaltype description from Website  eg pmd
   --    ldesc = Long afvaltype description from Website   eg Plastic, Metalen en Drankkartons
   --    tdesc = Use the description available in the table text field

You, or anybody else, could also make a pull request in case there is an suggestion for update of fix to the published code.

Cheers,
Jos

Jos,

That is the better solution. Thanks for honoring the suggestion.

@All,

I am have been reworking the set of scripts currently supported on GITHUB to make the whole setup modular. The issue that I have is that the scriptd aren't all working in the same way, making it very cumbersome to add/update logic as that would require to visit all the scripts. Also adding new garbage websites is more difficult in this way.
I have started a new thread (https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 61&t=31295) to continue the discussion for my script there, as this really was never my thread to begin with.

Cheers,
Jos

Hi,

Can the site "https://acv-afvalkalender.nl/" also be added to this script?

I hope so, if needed more info (postal code e.g.) then drop me a p.m.

Greetz,

Greetz,

I,am also hoping for this to be added

[jvdz]

It is already available in my new GarbageCalendar version, module m_ximmio.
See the linked thread.

Oh, sorry ... must have overlooked it.

Thanks

Hi Jos,

Just upgraded my Raspberri Pi from older OS (i think Raspian) to Debian doing a full clean install. Since I liked the Afval text sensor a lot on my old system I wanted to implement it on my new system too. I choose the use new version you created (GarbageCalendar).

Just here to report that it works well on my new system though I only have 2 days experience so far and I have not used the E-mail option.
Also i can confirm that it works with Lua v5.1.5 which is included in Raspberry Debian Buster image.

And some suggestions for your set-up instructions that may make the implementation of this tool a bit more straightforward for Noobs like myself. (I managed to figure it out by myself in the end though it took some time, trial and error and puzzling...).

Suggestions:

0. Start with the point that a websitemodule needs to be selected for this tool and some ideas how to determine which websitemodule is applicable for the user implemeting the tool.
1. Change some text: In the hardware section of Domoticz; create Dummy and within the Dummy create a virtual Text sensor and remember the name you gave this virtual Text sensor. eg "Container".
2. Add link to the download location
3. Add full path from domoticz directory to garbagecalendar/ so: Go into directory “domoticz/scripts/lua/garbagecalendar/"
4. Give examples for the format of the parameters that need to be added as well as change Text Device name into "virtual sensor name":

myGarbageDevice = 'Container' -- The virtual Text sensor name you created in Domoticz
ShowNextEvents = 3 -- indicate the next x events to show in the TEXT Sensor in Domoticz
Zipcode = '' -- Your zipcode eg: Zipcode = '1234AB'
Housenr = '' -- Your housnr eg: Housenr = '123'
Housenrsuf = '' -- Your housnr suffix eg: Housenrsuf = 'A'
Hostname = '' -- m_opzet & m_opzet_api: Specify the hostname of your website. eg: Hostname = 'mijnafvalwijzer.nl'
-- *m_ximmio: Specify the companycode. (See m_ximmio.lua on how to find this code).
Street='' -- Street name Only needed for: m_recycleapp eg: Street='Example of streetname (dont have one myself)' [/i]

Cheers

Great, but you do know there is a new thread for that version here?: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=31295

I do appreciate the time you took to report your findings and specific feedback and have made several changes as suggested.
These are the comments I have on your suggestions:

Suggestions:
3. Add full path from domoticz directory to garbagecalendar/ so: Go into directory “domoticz/scripts/lua/garbagecalendar/"

The whole set of files as they are on GitHub do need to be stored into “domoticz/scripts/lua" and does also contain the subdirectory garbagecalendar, so this change would not be correct.

4. Give examples for the format of the parameters that need to be added as well as change Text Device name into "virtual sensor name":

myGarbageDevice = 'Container' -- The virtual Text sensor name you created in Domoticz
ShowNextEvents = 3 -- indicate the next x events to show in the TEXT Sensor in Domoticz
Zipcode = '' -- Your zipcode eg: Zipcode = '1234AB'
Housenr = '' -- Your housnr eg: Housenr = '123'
Housenrsuf = '' -- Your housnr suffix eg: Housenrsuf = 'A'
Hostname = '' -- m_opzet & m_opzet_api: Specify the hostname of your website. eg: Hostname = 'mijnafvalwijzer.nl'
-- *m_ximmio: Specify the companycode. (See m_ximmio.lua on how to find this code).
Street='' -- Street name Only needed for: m_recycleapp eg: Street='Example of streetname (dont have one myself)' [/i]

Your example values aren't always correct as they depend on the used module and Country, so I prefer to leave things as they are unless something is wrong. People really should know the information they need to fill in as they mostly need to do the same when using the online version of their GarbageCalendar and then use that same info in the script.

0. Start with the point that a websitemodule needs to be selected for this tool and some ideas how to determine which websitemodule is

There is a separate section is the setup about the modules that can be selected and there is an whole Wiki page with an description of each of the modules: https://github.com/jvanderzande/Garbage ... le_modules
There isn't much more I can do there and agree it does require some research for some of these WebSite to figure out which module would work, but I don't know an easy way to describe that and simple either Google or check of the WebSite to see if the format looks familiar.

Cheers,
Jos
