lastUpdate.minutesAgo for security state - how? [Solved]

[funnybu]

Hello. I need get lastUpdate.minutesAgo (or hoursAgo) for security state.

For example i need switch boiler to standby mode if my Dz had "Armed Away" state more than 2 days...

The field lastUpdate does not exist for the Domoticz Security Panel in dzVents. The workaround for this could be a script like

Code: Select all

-- security.lua
return { 
        on =        {   security = { domoticz.SECURITY_ARMEDAWAY, 
                                     domoticz.SECURITY_ARMEDHOME,
                                     domoticz.SECURITY_DISARMED },
                        
                        timer   =  {"every 10 minutes" }, 
                    },
                    
        data = { securityState = { history = true, maxItems = 1 }}, 
        
        logging =   {   level   =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                        marker  =   "Security" },
         
    
    execute = function(dz, item )
    
        if dz.data.securityState.get(1) == nil then
            dz.data.securityState.add("Initialized")          -- Initialize persistent historical variable (= data + timestamp)
            dz.log(item.trigger,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end 
        if item.isSecurity then 
            dz.data.securityState.add(item.trigger)         -- Store state to persistent historical variable (= data + timestamp)
        else
            safedSecurityState = dz.data.securityState.get(1)
            dz.log("Security state set to: " .. safedSecurityState.data .. ", " .. 
                    safedSecurityState.time.secondsAgo .." seconds ago.",dz.LOG_DEBUG)  -- retrieve state and set time secondsAgo 
        end
    end
}

May be easiest way write user variable? (and read it from another scripts) I think it is possible do with dzvents and more universal. What do you think?

Yes, good idea ! Write the uservariable with my script and read it with other (your) scripts. Let me know if you cannot get it working.

Set

--[[ setSecurityState.lua 
    Before first execution of this script, the vars "SecurityStateModifyTime" and "SecurityState" need to be created as type string.
    values can be left empty

Get

Code: Select all

--[[ getSecurityState.lua 
    this is a script to demonstrate how to get the states from the security panel and lastupdate time of this state.
    The update of the variables is done  by the setSecurityState script and that script must have run at least once before this one

return { 
        on =        {   devices = { "securityTrigger" }},  -- Just for test purposes. 
      
    execute = function(dz)
        local securityState     = dz.variables("SecurityState")
        local securityStateTime = dz.variables("SecurityStateModifyTime")
        
        -- Get securityState and time set
        local Time = require('Time')

        dz.log("Security state set to: " .. securityState.value .. ", " .. 
                    t.secondsAgo .." seconds ago.")  -- retrieve state and set time secondsAgo
