Simple Dimm level depends of time

[YourBro]

Hi everyone,

Newbie question
I am trying create script to change dimm level depending on time. The problem if device.state == "On", I cannot turn lamp off at all, only by disabling script.

Bar device it is fibaro dimmer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        devices = {
            "Bar"
        }
    },
    execute = function(dz, device)
        if (dz.time.matchesRule("at 18:00-21:00"))  then 
            lightlevel = 100
        else 
            lightlevel = 20
        end
        if(device.state == "On") then
            device.dimTo(lightlevel)
        else
            device.switchOff()
        end
    end
}

the problem with your script is that it is calling itself (via the device) Adding the silent() option should solve it. See below

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        devices = {
            "Bar"
        }
    },
    execute = function(dz, device)
        if (dz.time.matchesRule("at 18:00-21:00"))  then 
            lightlevel = 100
        else 
            lightlevel = 20
        end
        if device.state == "On"  then
            device.dimTo(lightlevel).silent()
        else
            device.switchOff().silent()
        end
    end
}
