Proper way to limit notifications in DzVents? [Solved]

[Jumper3126]

Hi all

I have a script to control my greenhouse, which runs every minute. If the humidity or temp is critical, it should take action and inform me. But i dont want to get a message every minute till it is solved.

I now have this line to limit the number of notifications send to 1 in 15 minutes.

Code: Select all

if (domoticz.time.matchesRule('every 15 minutes')) then domoticz.notify('Too dry! Serre humidity <50%', domoticz.PRIORITY_HIGH) end

Is this a proper way to do so in DzVents, or is there a better solution to only receive the first notification and then stop sending for 15 minutes. What is the impact if I use this line for multiple, independent conditions that may happen the same time (like humidity is too low, but also temp is too high). Will the 15 minute limit apply to each line independently?

You could do it like below

Code: Select all

 return
 {
    on =
    {
        timer =
        {
            'every minute',
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
    },

     data =
     {
        notifications =
        {
             initial = {},
        },
    },

   execute = function( dz )

        local function managedNotification(id, message,interval,priority)
            local interval = interval or 15
            local priority = priority or dz.PRIORITY_HIGH
            if dz.data.notifications[id] == nil or dz.data.notifications[id] < dz.time.dDate then
                dz.notify('managedNotification -- [' .. id ..']', message, priority)
                dz.data.notifications[id] = dz.time.dDate + interval * 60
            end
        end

        managedNotification('greenhouse','Too dry! Serre humidity <50%')  -- using default interval and default priority
        managedNotification('living Room','Cold', 30 , dz.PRIORITY_LOW)   -- overriding defaults

    end
}

Thanks waaren,
Do I understand correctly, that the interval counts per id? So in the example above, the timer for greenhouse and livingroom are independent. But if

Code: Select all

managedNotification

would have the same id, the second line would base its timer on the first line?

I don't understand this question. Please elaborate

Thanks
