You REALLY should check out http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=10834. You'll find it a whole lot easier to access device values rather than mess with JSON. To help with printing out floating point variables, I use a slightly modified print statement defined thus: local printf ...

The idea of being able to use fitness bands for two factor authentication, location or presence detection is very appealing so I'd definitely vote for this. No other takers?

Liked this script so much, I created another. It seemed a shame that I only ever got one weather report so this dzVents script checks the weather every hour and, if its changed and someone walks into the room, they'll get a weather update. I'll probably drive us nuts in a few days but its fun for ...

dzVents has a lot of documentation, more than Domoticz. Theres a few examples in the documentation. Nice thing is youll not have to deal with commandArrays, no looking up multiple tables, doing stupid arithmetic on dates is thing of the past, complex triggers are a breeze. Try it. You'll like it ...

Hi. Quite a few sensors exhibit that behaviour. Best use the door sensor to change the state of dummy device and base your logic the the dummy device. Change the dummy device state as your heart desires. What has .. My use case is : My Mailbox switches On when receiving mails and returns Off at ...

Hi korniza. Pleased to hear you got it working and that you spotted my deliberate error in forgetting to tell you that you needed a device called THB from which you can derive the outside temperature. Hi jmleglise. I incorporated your two suggestion - they work a treat. The birthday announce thingy ...

Thanks jmleglise, I was wondering the best best way to convert wind directions to something pronounceable.

I get an error if I copy&paste as a lua script to events. Error: EventSystem: Lua script goodMorning did not return a commandArray How can I use this script? :oops: You need to install dzVents. Follow the install instructions here github.com/dannybloe/dzVents/tree/dev then copy/paste the script ...

Hi y'all. My Good Morning script is heavily based on the original with the exception that it relies on dzVent plug-in for domoticz. Little benefit in doing so other than it obviates the need for a domoticz variable. My version has a chatty date intro that probably need improvement but it'll do for ...

You should check out the developer version of dzVents. It enables you keep a timestamped list of temperatures in a data array then do simple stats on the list. The following is an example from the documentation. It would be easy to add criteria so that only temperatures above a certain value were ...

Might be an idea to have a look a dzVents. It has the capability of storing variables from one invocation of your script to the next, and probably what you're looking for, the ability to share variables between scripts, so-called global variables. You'll be able to put the complex structures in the ...

I'm modifying this script for use with dzVents. Though I don't think thats a root cause, I get this error: 2016-05-13 13:29:35.691 LUA: An error occured when calling event handler GoodMorning 2016-05-13 13:29:35.691 LUA: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/scripts/GoodMorning.lua:41: attempt to call a nil ...

Did you get anywhere with this. I was hoping for something similar though my LMS is based on a Joggler or two.

You should check out dzvents. It has a short example script that runs every 5 minutes that does exactly what you're after. You can keep your existing scripts as dzvents will run silently in the background. Convert your scripts if you need extra flexibility regarding triggers or you need to carry ...

Thanks for the inspiration for deploying my HE105. I've used the code already listed in this thread as a model upon which to write my own, but this time using the dzVents add-on. The code allows for a list of thermometers which are averaged to get the current temperature. Thermometers which have not ...

One of the triggers for my dzVents central heating script uses events driven from a room thermometer. The script gets to run twice for each device interrupt: once with the name envKitchen, and again with the name envKitchen_Temperature. The upshot is that things that my script is supposed to do once ...

I am trying to write a script that relies on a device id. According to the documentation the method is ".id" Here is a fragment of my code: (53) printf("Device is: %s (%s)", _device.name, _device.id) (54) print("Alarm "..domoticz.devices['Alarm'].id) When the script executes while dzVent logging ...

The value for X10Siren.bState does not return the correct boolean, its always "false". X10Siren states are "All On" and "All Off".

To make dzVents easier to read/write/document might I suggest you add something like:
and its inverse: ... such that "domoticz.timedEvent" evaluates to true if the script is running because a scheduled event became due, else false.

I put my persistent storage system together with the primary requirement of trying to restore a secure state across systems reboots. For example, I didnt want the system to go down with secuity enabled only to have an insecure and inconsistent state on reboot. In your example, Danny, I'm not sure ...
