How to check if group state is mixed?

[pj-r]

How can I check if group state is 'mixed'?

The domoticz.groups('myGroup').state returns 'Off' even there is one light turned on and UI shows 'mixed'.

Is it possible to get list/table of devices from group?

I'd like to create a rule if any of the lights in one group is on then I wouldnt want to turn on another light with motion sensor.

This is what I ended up by now.

Code: Select all

local kitchenLightsGroup = {'Eteinen-spotit', 
                            'Kettio-spotit-vasen', 
                            'Keitto-spotit-oikea',
                            'Ruokapoyta',
                            'Saareke katto',
                            'Allastaso',
                            'Ylakaapit',
                            'Ylavalo'}
                    
return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			['Motion-kids'] = {'between 02:00 and 07:00'}
		},
		timer = {
            'every minute between 02:00 and 06:00'
        }
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    --domoticz.log('Keittio: ' .. domoticz.groups('Keittio-valot').state, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	    
	    if(s ~= nil) then
	        -- triggered by motion sensor
	        
	        -- check what light are already on at kitchen
	        local enabledkitchenLights = {}
            for i, name in ipairs(kitchenLightsGroup) do
              if(domoticz.devices(name).state ~= 'Off') then
                  enabledkitchenLights[#enabledkitchenLights+1] = name
              end
            end
            
            -- This would be nice if we could take light from group and take all of them what are not off
            -- local enabledkitchenLights = kitchenLightsGroup.filter(function (lightName)
            --     return (domoticz.devices(lightName).state ~= 'Off')
            -- end)
            
            -- Just debugging
            for i, lightName in ipairs(enabledkitchenLights) do
              domoticz.log('Light on: ' .. lightName , domoticz.LOG_INFO)
            end
	        
	        -- Turn kids room light on with very much dimmed so they can see and walk to parents room at night
	        if(domoticz.devices('MH1-katto').state == 'Off' and #enabledkitchenLights == 0) then
	            domoticz.devices('MH1-katto').dimTo(35)
		        domoticz.log('Turn on kids room night walking light', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		    end
		    
        elseif(domoticz.devices('MH1-katto').state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('MH1-katto').lastUpdate.minutesAgo > 10) then
            -- no motion for a while, turn off kids room light
            -- TODO: add check if was turned on by switch
	        domoticz.devices('MH1-katto').switchOff()
		    domoticz.log('Turn off kids room night walking light', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		end
	end
}

Yes, that's because the group by itself is a kind of device that has a state. Its state is not depending on its group members. Don't know how expensive it is to provide the information in dzVents. I'm afraid it requires extra queries that have to be run before dzVents can start processing scripts.

How expensive would it be to build device-id's list(and perhaps some other group device properties) for group when application is started and refresh it when group(scene) is modified?

Code: Select all

SELECT Scenes.ID AS SceneID, SceneDevices.DeviceRowID AS DeviceID, 
       SceneDevices.Cmd AS DeviceCommand, SceneDevices.Level AS Level, 
       SceneDevices.Hue AS Hue, SceneDevices.OnDelay AS OnDelay, 
       SceneDevices.OffDelay AS OffDelay FROM SceneDevices
INNER JOIN Scenes ON Scenes.ID = SceneDevices.SceneRowID
WHERE Scenes.ID = 4
