timer, every 5 minutes ?

[tontze]

Do i remember wrong, or DID domoticz have "every nn:nn" timer at some point under switch preferences ?

I would like to flip a switch every 5 minutes, but i really cannot use "on time" for this ...

You need a script to do this. With dzVents it would be very simple to implement.

Code: Select all

 return {
        
    on = { timer = {"every 5 minutes"} },
    
	execute = function(domoticz, _)
		local myDevice = domoticz.devices("your device name")
    	
		if myDevice.state == "On" then
			myDevice.switchOff()
		else
			myDevice.switchOn()
		end
	end		
}

dzVents is integrated in domoticz. So unless you have a very old version of domoticz you should have it.

[ad alert] dzVents /diː ziː vɛnts/, short for Domoticz Easy Events, brings Lua scripting in Domoticz to a whole new level. Writing scripts for Domoticz has never been so easy. Not only can you define triggers more easily, and have full control over timer-based scripts with extensive scheduling support, dzVents presents you with an easy to use API to all necessary information in Domoticz. No longer do you have to combine all kinds of information given to you by Domoticz in many different data tables. You don't have to construct complex commandArrays anymore. dzVents encapsulates all the Domoticz peculiarities regarding controlling and querying your devices. And on top of that, script performance has increased a lot if you have many scripts because Domoticz will fetch all device information only once for all your device scripts and timer scripts. And ... it is 100% Lua! So if you already have a bunch of event scripts for Domoticz, upgrading should be fairly easy. [ad alert]
