runIn function dzVents [Solved]

[Piacco]

I write my scripts with the help of AI. The AI suggested using the dz.runIn function. I searched the Domoticz wiki, but I couldn’t find any information about this function. Is this an actual function in dzVents, or is it a non-existent function?

I'am using Domoticz 2025.1 dzVents Version: 3.1.8

--[[
------------------------------------------------------
-- Wait briefly to determine the final click count
------------------------------------------------------
dz.runIn(MAX_CLICK_INTERVAL + 0.5, function(dz2)
local clicks = dz2.data.clickCount
dz2.data.clickCount = 0

Never heard about this function. AI is perfect in inventing non existing truths.

"Okay, thanks. I mentioned it to the AI.

Spoiler: show

AI is perfect at inventing things that don’t exist.

And now it’s saying that it’s a non-existent function.

"But my problem is still there. I need a function so that when I switch on my lamp, it automatically turns off after 60 seconds. If I press the switch three times in 5 seconds, it should stay on continuously."

[waltervl]

Switching off after 60 seconds can be done with

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('mydevice').switchOff.afterSeconds(60)

Or

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('mydevice').switchOn.forSeconds(60)

Domoticz cannot easily detect clicking a switch 3 times in x seconds. But some zigbee/zwave switches have multiple functions like double click, long click etc.

Edit. Could be a typing error here. Please check precise notation on the dzvents wiki (also a better guide than AI for this).

Thanks for your answer, my cheap Zigbee device only has one function . I guess I’ll have to spend more money to get a better one.

[waltervl]

Are you sure, most of my cheap zigbee switches have that function. What switch do you have? Do you use zigbee2mqtt or zigbee4domoticz?

[Piacco]

I've this device, Girier Model JR-ZDS01 https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/JR-Z ... r-jr-zds01, together with Zigbee2MQTT running inside a Docker container.

Perhaps check zigbee2MQTT settings: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/u ... /821709/12
