Motion Light Off after 2 minutes at Nighttime

[dbmet]

I'm looking for a script that will turn the hallway light off after no motion for 2 minutes only when its nighttime out.

Searched the forums but didnt really see what I was looking for..

Sorry wrong answer

Ehhh figured it out using smart lua scripts. I think.

From the dzVents wiki:

"A device trigger can have a time-rule constraint: on = { devices = { ['myDevice'] = 'at nighttime' } }. This only triggers the script when myDevice was changed and the time is after sunset and before sunrise."

so if you use this as the on = section and something like

Code: Select all

if trigger.state == "On" then
  	domoticz.devices("hallway light").switchOn().checkFirst()	
else
	domoticz.devices("hallway light").switchOff()
end

in the execute = section (assuming the motion detector switches to "Off" after two minutes.) If that is not the case the script becomes a bit more compicate with either a uservar or openURL .

@Warren : That solution will not work.

He wanted to switch off a light when there is no motoin (so no device trigger).

A solution that I use is to use a timed event (my PIR check runs every minute). So a solution might be.

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        timer = {'Every minute '}
    },
    execute = function(domoticz)
    
    if ( ( domoticz.devices('PIR Hallway').lastUpdate.minutesAgo => 2 ) and  (domoticz.devices('Hallway').state == 'On'  and domoticz.time.isNightTime)) then
    domoticz.devices('Hallway').switchOff()
    end
end
    

No sure if the time-rule works with a timer. (might try this)
on = {
timer = {'[Every minute ', 'at nighttime' ]}

As always .. It depends That's why I wrote "(assuming the motion detector switches to "Off" after two minutes.)"

My motion detectors also trigger an event after the set time folowing a motiondetection passed.

For me this works perfectly. Maybe u can use it. This way the lights stay on for 1 minute after motion sensor detected motion.

Code: Select all

return { on = { devices = {motion sensor} }, 

execute = function(domoticz, device)

local light = domoticz.devices(light u want to switch)

if ((not light.active and device.active) or (light.active and device.active)) then
light.switchOn() 

elseif (not device.active) then light.switchOff().checkFirst().afterMin(1) end 
end }
