Utilities like RMUtils()

[joshlobe]

I am building an application that takes the rules from the output of RMUtils("5.0"), and brings them into a rich UI.

I am receiving requests to bring in rules created via other native applications (button controllers, basic rules, room lighting, etc.).

My question is; are there other utilities like RMUtils() available for these other applications?

If not, is there a suggested way to "poll" a rulelist created by another application?

EDIT:
By polling, I mean I'd like to receive an array of rule ids along with their friendly names.

Bumping this in hopes of some attention.

I am looking for a way to "poll" a rule from RM5.0+ and get some properties from the rule. Such as if the rule is "paused" or "stopped".

In my code, I am using the RMUtils('5.0').. but it only returns the rule id and rule name.
I also tried using the RM HTTP Requests, but again, I can only perform actions.. not query status.

Any way to poll the status of a rule in rule manager?

Any way to poll the status of a rule in rule manager?

No, there isn't. There is a Condition in Rule 5.1 that returns whether or not a rule is paused.

In response to your original question, there are not equivalents to RMUtils for other built-in apps.

Thank you.
That removes one perpetual thorn from my mind!

Could you elaborate slightly more on the "condition"?
I have not seen that in my travels.

Here is a response from RMUtils:

[[323:Garage Button], [245:🌅 Sunrise], [246:🌅 Sunset], [220:🐕 Barking Dog], [211:🔒 Lock Changed], [208:🔒 Lock Truck Doors], [212:🖐️ Motion Detected], [171:🚪 Check Garage Door], [210:🚪 Contact Changed]]

"Garage Button" is currently paused, but I don't see a condition?

Under Manage or Create Conditions, you can select Rule Paused:

Then another pull-down shows up where you can select a rule.

Thanks Bruce. I appreciate your time.
I was hoping there was a way to check the rule programmatically from another app.
Thank you for the clarification.
