This Python program does this job for you.

Prerequisites

• Pimatic (tested with v0.9.48)
  • An authorized Pimatic user (e.g., admin user)

How-To

1. Setup requirements
   • pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. Setup local configuration file, see template config_local.py.template. The new name must be config_local.py.
3. Run python3 step1_getattrs.py. This creates step1_getattrs.txt.
4. Edit step1_getattrs.txt and activate rule-creation for listed items by uncommenting the lines (remove #).
5. Run python3 step2_createrules.py.
