How to create a dashboard virtual switch to disable/enable a saved blockly event?

[edozwart]

hi everybody!

merry christmas to everybody! Can you help me out? I am trying to create a virtual switch on my "switches" panel (via hardware/dummy switch) to disable/enable my saved blockly event, but I don't know how to. My goal is that my script is normally enabled, the lights will be off at night, but it can happen that I want them enabled so easily want to disable the script (with my phone for example).

Please let me know if you know how to handle this.

thanks!

Create a dummy switch and check it's status in your script.
Something like:
if(switch['dummy']=='On') AND ...

hi Egregrius,

thanks for pointing me into the right direction! I can create that script using blockly for example but I don't know how to point to the saved event to disable that. Can you help me with that? Can that be done with blockly itself?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this also counts for blockly events because I don't use that, but for LUA and dzVentz it works

/json.htm?type=events&param=updatestatus&eventid=21&eventstatus=0

use this JSON to get the list of events

/json.htm?type=events&param=list

edit: Should also work for Blockly

You don't disable your script, you just add another if statement so that the script is only executed when that switch is on.

hi sweet and Egregius,

thanks for the quick advice and helping me out! I used the tip from Egregius, works like a charme, thank you very much! Hereby my blockly script, maybe also handy for other people:

thanks guys!

In the last pass I would do:

Else if Time > 22:01 and Living Lamp Ceiling (3) = ON
Set Living Lamp Ceiling (3) = OFF

This to have more precision on the switch log and avoid to send frequent and useless commands on the z-wave network.

Thanks Denny64 for the tip, good point! I have updated my script!

love this forum!

You don't disable your script, you just add another if statement so that the script is only executed when that switch is on.

Be aware, your script is still fired. If it is time based every minute

hi! I know, I have ordered a dusk sensor to improve this and to avoid to use times.
