Good work!

Function tempFromWunderGround reads Wunderground data, converts it to weather variables and returns temperature. So if
you have own thermometer then the tempFromWunderGround function is not needed. Instead you need to read temperature from your own thermoter and use it in the script. One example below:

Code: Select all

thermometer = "NameOfYourThermometer" --Name of the thermometer. Can be added to variables section

outsideTemperature = otherdevices_temperature[thermometer] --Outside temperature is stored to this variable. Replace line 105 with this code.

More information about Events can be found from the wiki. The companion script should be placed also in the lua -folder.

Leave times can be adjusted pretty easily, at least from my mind, from the Android and Windows (Ticz) applications. At least my wife accepted this solution and she is not an engineer...

A miracle - got it working Thanks for the help and sorry for messing your project topic.

I've been looking for an iOS-app that would enable the user variable updating (the only non-Apple IT-device at our home is my daughter's Windows phone). No luck so far, so maybe I'll need to give up and get a low cost Android tablet to serve as a semi-fixed control dashboard. That has been in thoughts for a while, this might be the reason to finally go for it.

Thanks again, I'm curious to see live results once as the heating season begins.

[Kouseri]

Well done! No problem, it was great that I was able to help you and you managed to overcome the issues.

Of course you could propose if user variable updating could be added to some existing iOS Domoticz app...

Winter surprised me
I try to get work carheater lua scripts, and should this be the name of hardware of weather undergound device or some device under that?
wundergroundName = "Säätila - Yleinen" -- Name of Wunderground "device"

That's normal at least in Finland and happens every year...

wundergroundName should be a name of virtual weather device, not the name of the Wunderground "Hardware".
In my case "Säätila - Yleinen" contains temperature, humidity, UV and pressure data.

[timop]

Yes Iam also from Finland. I tested script but i didnt got it work.
I have switch named autolammitys. So should lua scipts be like with name script_time_autolammitys or does it matter because name of switch is in lua script?

It doesn't matter what is the latter part of the script's name after second underscore. So script_time_autolammitys should be ok. What kind log messages script prints to the log (Setup -> Log)?

[timop]

ok, I renamed lua scripts: script_device_autolammityskomp.lua and script_time_autolammitysaika.lua
I set CarHeaterSwitchSingleStartTime 15mins to future, but my carheater switch never light on

and if I put switch on manually it switches off after one minute
(onTime = 300 and switchOnWindow = 1 )

[Kouseri]

Thanks for the more information.

What runInterval value are you using? With default value (150s), script runs on every third minute which means that you will the most probably miss timing conditions if switchOnWindow = 1. Please test the script with default switchOnWindow = 5 value (remember to set CarHeaterSwitchSingleStartTime variable enough ahead from current time).

If the switch is turned on manually, CarHeaterSwitchOffTime should be set automatically 1.5h ahead from the current time by the script. But based on your user variables listing, CarHeaterSwitchOffTime is 300, which is not correct. Please turn the switch on manually again and check has value changed from 300 to something else.

[timop]

I changed run interval to 60 in beginning. I also changed that carheaterswitchofftime to 300 for testing. But i will test tomorrow more..

I changed settings to defaults in both lua script, exept onTime to one hour.
and today at 18:00 I did set leaving time to 19:00,

variables was:

Code: Select all

CarHeaterSwitchSingleStartTime	Time	19:00
CarHeaterSwitchActivationType	Integer	1
CarHeaterSwitchOffTime	Integer	1478667660  (this came by itself )

so now settings are

Code: Select all

 
script_time_autolammitysaika.lua
deviceName = "autolammitys2"
switchOffTime = "CarHeaterSwitchOffTime"
switchActivationType = "CarHeaterSwitchActivationType"
lastRunTimeVariable = "CarHeaterSwitchLastRunTime"
wundergroundName = "SaatilaImatra"
switchRecurringStartTime = "CarHeaterSwitchRecurringStartTime"
switchSingleStartTime = "CarHeaterSwitchSingleStartTime"
tempLimit = 1 
runInterval = 150
switchOnWindow = 5
debug = true


script_device_autolammityskomp.lua
devicename = "autolammitys2"
switchOffTime = "CarHeaterSwitchOffTime"
switchActivationType = "CarHeaterSwitchActivationType"
onTime = 3600
debug = false

and it logged in after first 2 minutes
