Eval Syntax

Eval

The Syntax of eval is a conditional expression

Example:

eval=value if value>0 else 0

Eval Trigger

A common error is, to use the full python-path to a smarthome.py item in the Eval trigger. Correct is to use the Item-Name only, i.e. without the leading sh.:

Correct: eval=sh.my.value**()**

• eval_trigger= my.value|my.other.value

(incorrect: eval=sh.my.value

eval_trigger= **sh.**my.value|**sh.**my.other.value)
