Multiple conditions with if [Solved]

[RezaRose]

I am searching for a day now, i cant fix it. I am a beginner in programming.


I tried to make a script when sensor 'Buitensensor' has updated x minutes ago, and the group 'Tuinverlichting' is on, then turn off 'Tuinverlichting'.

I tried to debug my script with the print() so i know what outcome i get. And it seems that if i combine the to conditions with and it will return false. But if i use them separately they work.

I tried

Code: Select all

if (domoticz.devices('Buitensensor').lastUpdate.minutesAgo >= 1  and domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting') == 'On')  then

and:

Code: Select all

if ((domoticz.devices('Buitensensor').lastUpdate.minutesAgo >= 1)  and (domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting') == 'On'))  then

This is the whole script.

Code: Select all

return {
       on = {
          timer = {
             'every 1 minutes'
          }
       },
      	execute = function(domoticz, timer)
		if ((domoticz.devices('Buitensensor').lastUpdate.minutesAgo >= 1)  and (domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting') == 'On'))  then
    domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting').switchOff()
    print('Tuinverlichting is ' .. (domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting').lastUpdate.minutesAgo) .. ' minuten geleden ge-update')
    print('Tuinverlichting staat op ' .. (domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting').state))
else
    print('Tuinverlichting is ' .. (domoticz.groups('Tuinverlichting').lastUpdate.minutesAgo) .. ' minuten geleden ge-update')
    print('Buitensensor is ' .. (domoticz.devices('Buitensensor').lastUpdate.minutesAgo) .. ' minuten geleden ge-update')
	end
       end
    }

output:

Code: Select all

It think i forget a small thing, but i can't find it. Anyone want to help me?

You forgot the word state in your condition.

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        timer =
        {
             'every 1 minutes'
        }
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'combined conditions',
    },

      execute = function(dz)

        dz.log('Tuinverlichting is ' .. dz.groups('Tuinverlichting').lastUpdate.minutesAgo .. ' minuten geleden ge-update', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        dz.log('Tuinverlichting staat op ' .. dz.groups('Tuinverlichting').state, dz.LOG_DEBUG )

        if dz.devices('Buitensensor').lastUpdate.minutesAgo >= 1 and dz.groups('Tuinverlichting').state == 'On' then
            dz.groups('Tuinverlichting').switchOff()
       end
    end
}

Oh i feel so stupid! Thank you for your answer i will look in to the debug!

[RezaRose]

In your script i get a error over the DZ, should i change it to domoticz? Mayby because i do not have that variable?

Code: Select all

2021-02-01 17:43:43.784 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.1.4) ...domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Script #4.lua:13: attempt to index a nil value (global 'dz')

Yes change it to domoticz but only in that line.
