Help Example, months of the year

[Derik]

Dear all.
I try to understand dzvents.. [ hard to get for me ]

I try to make a script wjere every month of the year is acting with Domoticz.
12 dummys that switch on the month of the year.
Looks for me a simple start to begin.Only i get unfortunately not 1 month to switch to the good month..

Is there perhaps someone that can give me some basic code from where i can start?

Thanks

I am not sure I completely understand what you try to achieve but based on my assumption that you have created a virtual switch for every month and only want the switch with the name of the current month to be switched to On, I have put together the script below.
Please let me know if my assumption is incorrect or if you do not completely understand the script.

Code: Select all

-- setMonthswitch.lua

return { 
    on      =   {   timer  =   { "at 00:01" }}, -- the script will run every night at 00:01
                    
    logging =   {   level       =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,   -- this sets the loglevel. Options are LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG, LOG_ERROR or LOG_FORCE
                    marker      =  "setMonthswitch" },    -- the marker will ensure you can see where information comes from
    
    execute = function(dz)                          -- the parm dz (short for domoticz) will ensure all information from domoticz is available in this script 
        months={    "januari",      -- months is here a table (or array) with all month names. The names can be accessed by months[1] .. months[12]
                    "februari",
                    "maart",
                    "april",
                    "mei",
                    "juni",
                    "juli",
                    "augustus",
                    "september",
                    "oktober",
                    "november",
                    "december"  }
                    
        dz.log(months[tonumber(os.date("%m"))],dz.LOG_DEBUG) -- os.date("%m") returns the month-number with a leading zero as a string. 
                                                             -- tonumber converts this string to a number   
        for i = 1,#months do                                 -- #months means max. items in the table months (so for loop from 1 to 12)  
            dz.devices(months[i]).switchOff().checkFirst()   -- Switch off all virtual switches labeled with names of the months 
                                                             -- checkFirst() wil make sure switch will only be done when before state is different
        end
        dz.devices(months[tonumber(os.date("%m"))]).switchOn().checkFirst() -- Only current month switch will be set to on (when not already done)
    end
}

Try with
timer = { 'at 00:01 on 1/*'}, -- Every 1st of the month at 00:01

Try with
timer = { 'at 00:01 on 1/*'}, -- Every 1st of the month at 00:01

Thanks. It kind of depends what is most important for the user. With your modification the script would run once a month and thus saving CPU cycles
and it would work most of the times but if the system is down for two minutes at that particular moment the switches would show a wrong month for the whole month. With my example it would run once a day and burning CPU (0.026 seconds on my PI-3 system) and the switches could be off for a day if the system is down for two minutes on the first day of the month at 00:01)
So it is up to user environment what is most important. Execute monthly, -daily ( or even hourly ? )

But credits for you to show this alternative

Dear all.
Thanks for this, i see now your reaction, i get no notification from the forum??

So i give it a try .... this evening
you hear from me..

Ps i can change the names for the months in the script to what i want?
En what setting do i need in dz vents.. all time or device?

Oops.. overlooked one quote.. I removed it in the script so please try again.
You can change the names to your liking but do not remove- or add one and they must be the same as your dummy devices.
For dzVents it does not matter what type you use in the internal event editor the type is determined in the on = section

The error found .. grrrr
Only not working..

Did you define all (virtual) month switches ?
Do you see something in the log ?

[Derik]

mm i did try only 1 month
No thing in the log..
i make first all the months...
then
I be back

And please load the example again. Found one other typo

No thing to see in the log

No thing to see in the log

Can you copy / paste the script again and report your findings ?
At least something should be visible in the logfile.

That are scripts without any thing?
Perhaps one of these?
