Someonehome

[Lebo2d9]

Hi,

I have a blocky the set the temp of 2 rooms when someone is at home. (Precense detection based on Life360)
The problem is when there is already some body at home (someonhome is on) and an other persons enter the geofence the someonehome switched is again set to on and the command to set the room temperature is sended again but this is not needed.

How can i avoid the set temperature when there is already someone at home?

Kind regards

My first reaction would be don't switch On someonehome when On already and trigger the set temp in a separate blocky event based on the someonehome switch, check what the switch did, become On or Off.

Does that help?

I assume Life360 will update to ON a switch... so re-assign On the same device will trigger again the script
you would need a second controlled variable (or device) to check that will count is someone is already at home or not

...how do you handle the absence of persons at home? simply having the Life360 switch set to off?
do you have a switch for a single person or do you have a common switch for all?
...maybe it would be better if you could post your script also

Try this:
Create a user variable "Family Presence" and the following lines in a Lua Device Script.

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if (devicechanged['Life360 - Person1 Presence'] or devicechanged['Life360 - Person2 Presence'] or devicechanged['Life360 - Person 3 Presence']) then
    if (otherdevices['Life360 - Person Presence'] == 'On' or otherdevices['Life360 - Person Presence']== 'On' or otherdevices['Life360 - Person  Presence']== 'On') then
       if uservariables['Family Presence'] == 'Away' then
            os.execute('curl -s "http://user:[email protected]:8084/json.htm?type=command&param=setactivetimerplan&ActiveTimerPlan=4" &')
            commandArray['Variable:Family Presence'] = 'Home'
            print("Family is Home")
        end
    else
        os.execute('curl -s "http://user:[email protected]:8084/json.htm?type=command&param=setactivetimerplan&ActiveTimerPlan=3" &')
        commandArray['Variable:Family Presence'] = 'Away'
        print("Family is Away")    
    end
end

return commandArray

I use this to switch timer plan when anyone of the family is at home. You can put room temperature setting.

Hi febalci,
