sunrise / sunset trigger

[GAEvakYD]

I've a question about the sunrise and sunset trigger. I want to put on a virtual switch. So I've used the code below.

I expected two events. At sunrise and at sunset. But in the log I can see that I got four events. Before and After Sunset en Sunrise. Is there an option to only get two triggers? I've tried "1 minutes after sunrise" trigger, but I can't find where to check on in my code.

Code: Select all

return {
	active = true,
	on = {
		timer = {
		    --At sunrise en at sunset doesn't work because then you get to events. Before AND after sunset/sunrise
			'at sunrise',                 -- uses sunset/sunrise info from Domoticz
            'at sunset'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device, triggerInfo)
	    local IsHetDonkerBuiten = domoticz.devices('IsHetDonkerBuiten')
                        
	    if (timerInfo.trigger == 'at sunset')
	    then
		    IsHetDonkerBuiten.switchOn()		 
		    domoticz.log('IsHetDonkerBuiten device is switched ON by dzVentz scripts TRIGGER 1');
		elseif (timerInfo.trigger == 'at sunrise')
		then
		    IsHetDonkerBuiten.switchOff()
		    domoticz.log('IsHetDonkerBuiten device is switched OFF by dzVentz scripts TRIGGER 2');
	end
}

That is strange. There is no code that should trigger four events. Are you sure that you don't have the script double on your file system? Can you show the log?

Ahhhh I've found it.

My is dzVents is named vzIsDonker. Now I've got two triggers in that script:
'1 minutes after sunrise',
'1 minutes before sunset'

The log gives informatie that the triggers works Ok, but there are something with an internal Scheduler.
See the log rules at:
2017-12-15 08:09:01.245 Schedule item started! Name: IsHetDonkerBuiten, Type: Before Sunrise
2017-12-15 09:09:01.657 Schedule item started! Name: IsHetDonkerBuiten, Type: After Sunrise

I looked at the virtual devices and there where two internal timers on that devices.

So, can be closed. Oeps.

Code: Select all

Just in case others have noticed some strange behaviours, with V3.8794 a bug has been introduced that results in 'Daytime' always being 'True'. There is a temporary fix if you compile yourself documented viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21002

Why not just create a dummy switch and add a timer to it ?

Code: Select all

Yes	After Sunrise		00:00	No	On	Everyday
Yes	After Sunset		00:00	No	Off	Everyday
