Funny, I've always used this as a dystopian example of how a smart home could be used..

yes I also noticed later and fixed it...

and using a bash scripts to set the counters through json:

Code: Select all

    #!/bin/bash
    IDX=$1
    COUNT=$2
	curl "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$IDX&nvalue=0&svalue=$COUNT"

I can't get this to work. The logs seems fine.. But the counter is not updating.

When i update this manualy with: curl "http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=com ... 0&svalue=3" the counter is updating.

No errors in the log, can someone tell me whats wrong?

[Larsoss]

thanks for the script!
nice work, i have been thinking about it but did not build it yet.. so based my code on your script and pimped it a bit with a table for multiple devices.
might be of use for other people who want to track more devices for the ontime.
you can just add devices and increase the device count to the number of devices you have added, the script here is now for 2 devices

I run this in combination with a arp scan on the devices in my network since that works better for me than a ping

Can you please give me a detail description for making the counter?
First step is Hardware - Add a new device (System Alive Checker)
When add that click on settings and add one name / ip
And what is the next step
Because i see now only a switch that says On/Off and no counter.

Hi Larsoss,

i use an different script of mine, maybe this is helpful for you (or others). You can count anything with this....

This ist the script:

Code: Select all

-- Domoticz-LUA-Script for counting the workingtime of any device you wish

--[[
##########################
WATCH OUT!!!! - The script type LUA Time MUST be selected !!
Another type of script maybe forces a domoticz crash because the script is triggered countless times,
instead of just once per minute and one minute would be counted for each call, although there are only
a few seconds or fractions of a second.
##########################

The minute-by-minute call can lead to counting inaccuracies. At the moment it is different
not (easy) possible. Example: A device is switched on at 12:00:50. So the counter counts one minute,
even though it was only on for 10 seconds. Conversely, if a device is switched off at 00:00:50, the
50 seconds no longer counted. -> In short: only full minutes are counted.
]]



commandArray = {}

-- Set up your devices here:
All_Devices = {
 -- { Counter = 'Name of the counter', Device = 'Device which should be counted' },
    { Counter = 'Example-Counter-1', Device = 'Example-Counter-1' },
    { Name = 'Example-Device-2', Device = 'Example-Counter-2' },
 -- just so on.... as many devices you want
}


-- ####################################################################################
-- Don't need to change something after here... :-)

-- Load an function for timedifference
function timedifference(timestamp)
  y, m, d, H, M, S = timestamp:match("(%d+)-(%d+)-(%d+) (%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")
  difference = os.difftime(os.time(), os.time{year=y, month=m, day=d, hour=H, min=M, sec=S})
  return difference
end


-- Let'start:
for Devices,Device in pairs(All_Devices) do

    counter_reading = otherdevices_svalues[Device.Counter]

    if otherdevices[Device.Device] == 'On' then
            
        On_time = counter_reading + 1
        commandArray[#commandArray+1] = {['UpdateDevice'] = otherdevices_idx[Device.Counter]..'|1|'..tonumber(On_time)}
        print('Timecounter -> The device '..Device.Device..' is ON and was counted.')
        
    end

    -- And update if no change was made (so that after 60 minutes off the title banner does not turn red.):
    if timedifference(otherdevices_lastupdate[Device.Counter]) > 3500 then
        commandArray[#commandArray+1] = {['UpdateDevice'] = otherdevices_idx[Device.Counter]..'|1|'..tonumber(counter_reading)}
        print('Timecounter -> '..Device.Counter..' was kept active.')
    end

end



return commandArray

--[[ Little help:
The device which should be counted could be any device you want.
The Counter is an dummy device with this settings:
- Type in setup: Counter
- Type in device configuration: Counter
- Division: 0
- Meter offset: 0
]]

This is an counter, for example the PlayStation:

This are the options form the counter:

Bildschirmfoto 2020-04-14 um 17.17.30.png (48.16 KiB) Viewed 1312 times

And to get such an counter just an an device in the hardware tab, and then in your dummy hardware "Create device/sensor":

And if you don't have an "dummy hardware" yet, just generate one at the bottom of the hardware page:

Thank you for the fast answer.
I think i'm done with the script i used. Only thing is that my switches (2 phones to try with it) the whole time going to on/off.
So it's not working fine at this moment. Maybe you can help me with teamviewer? to look at my settgins?

[mvzut]

Phones (especially iPhones) are notoriously bad at reacting to pings (which is what the System Alive Checker uses). They go in a power saving mode and don't react to pings after a while. The phone may react again if some internal process wakes it up temporarily, but this is very unreliable. If you want to do reliable presence checking of phones, I suggest to look at the iDetect Wifi presence detection Python plugin. This plugin uses the mac adress of your device and checks your router (via an ssh connection) if it is currently present in the network.

Yes i have found and installed it. This works perfect.

sorry, i do not use the script anymore.
use to have a network map with all ping and uptimes but changed so many devices in my network without maintenace on my scripts that i deleted it
