Hi tozzke

thanx for quick reply !

Now I have this : see att

Still no action. Strange if I physicly connect a light with the dusk sensor (as it is what kaku does main, or I click dusk sensor) that lamp goes on, but no actions in script

Beside that
In this script will be 'else if' in fact 'do nothing if the light(s) are on yet'. So how can I set blockly in 'do nothing' ?
otherwise (as in your example) , how to say 'do nothing' in lua language ´if connect then end´ or so ?
May be easier in lua ?

[edje1205]

This 'seems' to work ! waiting .........

[tozzke]

Except I don't think 'Stopped' does anything with a light

[edje1205]

Stopped the script at that point maybe ?

[Nautilus]

Stopped the script at that point maybe ?

No, that means it is trying to set the switches to state "Stopped"

No need have any separate "stop" commands, it runs when the conditions are met. If you do not need the script to turn the lights off at some point, you don't need the "else if" part at all...

[edje1205]

Case closed hm ?

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum and hope you don't mind me asking help for my non-functional blockly. Not entirely true, it does function, but not the way I would expect it to... and what else is new here?

Here's the blockly:

It's all about the central ventilation system in the house. I use a Netatmo weather station to read the humidity both in the living room (woonkamer) and in the bathroom (badkamer). Due the the issue I was having with the values from Netatmo, I decided to copy the values to user variables as you can see here:

These values are correct and consistent with what the Netatmo app tells me.

Now the thing is that this blockly considers both situations, humidity above 50 and humidity below 50 to be correct as the logfile shows my debug messages:

I am absolutely puzzled as to why this is happening...
I hope someone is willing and able to help me with this. Thanks in advance!!


BTW: I used the time<>00:00 to get this event to fire every minute so a spend less time testing whether my blockly works

The problem is probably the "Nested" structure you have used. Blockley does not work with nested "If"s.
Can you try re-structuring by repeating the "time<>00:00" criteria within the "if" and "else if" sections therefore losing the outer "If" block?

[kdalmeijer]

@StanHD You are my absolute hero! Thanks for pointing that out to me!

This is what I ended up with, and it does exactly what I want. I'll expand from here, adding both speeds of the ventilation and adding CO2 measurements from the Netatmo modules. Happy!

Thanks again!

Hi ! My second attempt on making blockly I cant figure out why this wont work .. Im trying to achieve automatic lights on after sunset.

If i add just motion sensor, it works.

[StanHD]

This will only trigger when it is = Sunset (a moment in time) and the motion sensor is on. Try changing to > Sunset and the motion sensor is on. Be aware that > Sunset expires at midnight in Domoticz.

Gotta try that, i also tried this: didnt work either

[tontze]

And changing = to > or < didnt work :/

[StanHD]

Ok, you could try making a dummy switch called something like "Is Dark". Set up the switch's timers to on at sunset, off at sunrise. Then use this switch status in your Blockly.

Thnx ! that worked !

Somehow some people manage to mix the blocks in a way it doesn't work
It isn't that difficult... Mind the brackets

Code: Select all

If [[[Time >= [Sunset]] or [Time <= [Sunrise]]] and [[Motion] = [On]]]
Do [Set [Kitchen lights] = [Off] After [3*] seconds]

* Domoticz/blockly doesn't allow timed events shorter than 3 seconds

Thats good to know Was that the problem with my blockly ? I still dont see anything wrong with it (besides that 1sec that i know now).

Oh, just now i remembered that i used 1sec delay with motion to start lights (without sunset) and it worked ?

[tontze]

Oh, now i see it Open brackets left behind right ?

[tozzke]

Sunset/rise have to be linked into the Time-blockly
