Switch turns on/off every 15 min.

[nedde]

I want the switch to turn of after 15 minutes after it is turend on but it keeps
turning on/off every 15 min instead. What's am I doing wrong? Picture Attached.

Shouldn't you be using "Off AFTER 15" instead of FOR.

[jumbotroll]

Try this

If Kaffe = On
Do
Set Kaffe = On For 15 minutes

I think you cannot do that with blocky....
the script will loop all the time....

try LUA instead:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
     if devicechanged['Kaffe'] and otherdevices['Kaffe'] == 'On' then
          commandArray['Kaffe'] = 'On FOR 900'     -- the FOR instance works in secs
     end
return commandArray

Or pass2php:

Code: Select all

<?php
if(apcu_fetch('sKaffe')=='On'&&apcu_fetch('tKaffe')<time-900) sw(apcu_fetch('iKaffe'),'Off');

There is an "Off After X Seconds" block (900 seconds)

I have a question, i have this code.

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
     if devicechanged['Koffie'] and otherdevices['Koffie'] == 'On' then
          commandArray['Koffie'] = 'On FOR 600'     -- the FOR instance works in secs
    if devicechanged['Koffie'] and otherdevices['Koffie'] == 'Off' then
          commandArray['SendNotification']='Koffie machine is uitgeschakeld'
     end
return commandArray

But when de koffie is Off Domoticz will spam me with messages, i only want to recieve 1 message after the event took place.
How can i do this?

The syntax is bit incorrect, not sure if this is the reason. Try:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
if devicechanged['Koffie'] == 'On' then
    commandArray['Koffie'] = 'On FOR 600'     -- the FOR instance works in secs
elseif devicechanged['Koffie'] == 'Off' then
    commandArray['SendNotification']='Koffie machine is uitgeschakeld'
end
return commandArray

[emme]

could it be that the ON FOR 600 keep the device in the devicechanged table for 600 seconds?!

Not sure about this, but agreed that more logical would be:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
if devicechanged['Koffie'] == 'On' then
    commandArray['Koffie'] = 'Off AFTER 600' 
elseif devicechanged['Koffie'] == 'Off' then
    commandArray['SendNotification']='Koffie machine is uitgeschakeld'
end
return commandArray

U guys are great, it works, thanks a lot.

Is there also a way to create a countdown?

Sure, with a time script (they run once each minute) you can at least have a once per minute count down timer...
