Re: dzVents - Possible to use a variable for a timed event
@waaren: Thx for setting this up. Highly appreciated! Is it possible to do this: dz.variables(timeVar).time.hour, dz.variables(timeVar).time.minutes As far as I understand from the documentation, its a string (even though its a date var) yes this works. I tested this with uservars type time Which ...

Re: Rain prediction - weather underground
@elmortero: thanks, that helps. Script is working like a charm, it can use minor updates for version 2.4.X of dzVents . Will test and submit my latest version here as well.

Re: dzVents - Possible to use a variable for a timed event
Hi, That is not exactly what i was lookling for. I want the time set in the domoticz variable to be the trigger. So 7:30 in the variable should be the trigger to kick off the script. For now I have a 15 minute time trigger and check in the script if the domo variable time is the same as the system ...

dzVents - Possible to use a variable for a timed event
Hi All, As I'm using dzVents for all my Lua scripts now, i stumbled into a thought, but not sure how to do this or even if it is possible. I created a script controling my blinds. It lowers the blinds at a fixed time in the morning and raises them in the evening. Both at a fixed time coded in the ...

Re: Request for the use of friendly names in addition to device names
in dzvents you can do this by defining this at the top of the execute section: local scriptname = domoticz.devices("dashboardname") Was overthinking this again. Using local vars is not very helpfull. If you have coded device names like PirLivingroom and PirHalway, you want to use filters or ...

Request for the use of friendly names in addition to device names
Hi All, In other platforms I see the use of a "device name" and a "friendly name". The device name can be something like: "VirtualSwitchFoo", where the friendly name can be "Foo switch". This would help using more complex names as the device name for use in scripts, while the dashboard stays ...

Re: dzVents trying to use persistant data with concat variable
I haven't had coffee yet, so l'm at risk here. As far as I can see it is. Let me explane my thinking. prevWifiSwitch takes the values of oldPresence (=prevPresence). It is concatenated with the value of a part of a virtual Switch that is in assetName These are values like Ralph, Anneke. So in the ...
