turn off all lights

[Gianni]

I have a zwave mesh and a 2 gang switch near my front door.
I only used 1 gang wired and the point was to use the second gang as a virtual switch to turn off all lights when i'm leave.
I already made a blocky but this is not working.
I create a group and this works but i cannot connect the group to the switch?
Can anyone point me to the right direction how i can use a wall switch to controll other switches?

greets G,

Can anyone point me to the right direction how i can use a wall switch to controll other switches?

There are more answers to this.
1. Group activation device; goto the edit page of your group to the part Activation devices. Press Add device button and you will have a couple of seconds to press the switch that you want to control your group.
2. Use dzVents script below.

Code: Select all

-- group trigger

return {
            on      = { devices = { "groupSwitch"}}, -- Change to the name of the switch that you want to use for controlling the group 
    
    execute = function(dz,item)
        local myGroup = "Happy NewYear"              -- Change to the name of the group that you want to control 
        if item.state == "Off" then
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOff()
        else
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOn()
        end
    end
}

Hello Waaren

did not know it was so easy
I know now why my blocky not worked i did not know there was a blocky set group
But i took the first solution and added my switch to the activation.

can you help me wit this 2?
Now i can control all the lights on/off from 1 switch.
But if i turn on 1 switch let say living then the master switch will not turn on.
So i need to turn the switch on and off and then i can turn all the other switches off.

is there a way that the master switch get active with the other switches but not turn on all lights?

Not if you use the master switch as a group activation device like you did. As soon as it switches On the group will be switched On as well, even if you use the option silent().
If you would choose to trigger the group by a script you can set it up like you want because you can use the option silent() what would prevent any further script activations from this switch.

But what about the situation that the switch is switched On silently and you would want all devices in the group to be switched On ?
Aren't you then in the same type of situation as you describe ? You would first have to switch it Off before switching On would cause the group to act according to your intention.

[Gianni]

i have thought on this to
But the main goal of this switch is to extend it with other devices and when i leave the house klik on the master switch and everything that is on will be turn off.
So normally it will never be used to turn everything on.

In that case I suggest you switch to the method with the (slightly modified for this additional requirement) dzVents script.

Code: Select all

-- group trigger

return {
            on      = { devices = { "groupSwitch"}}, -- Change to the name of the switch that you want to use for controlling the group 
    
    execute = function(dz,item)
        local myGroup = "Happy NewYear"              -- Change to the name of the group that you want to control 
        if item.state == "Off" then
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOff()              
            item.switchOn().aftersec(3).silent()       -- Masterswitch will return to On state after 3 seconds without triggering any script
        else
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOn()
        end
    end
}

hello waaren

i try this but i think the silent did not works.
If i turn off the master switch he turn in in 3 second but all the other lights will go on 2

[waaren]

i try this but i think the silent did not works.
If i turn off the master switch he turn in in 3 second but all the other lights will go on 2

Did you remove this switch from the list of group activation devices ?

[Gianni]

yep all switches ar removed from the list.

i have a copy of the log file maybe you see someting but for me it's not clear :-p.
The masterswitch called "alles uit living"
The group called "G_Alles_Living"

and this is my script

Code: Select all

return {

            item.switchOn().aftersec(3).silent()       -- Masterswitch will return to On state after 3 seconds without triggering any script
        else
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOn()
        end
    end
}

i try dzvents all,device and group

[waaren]

yep all switches ar removed from the list.

i have a copy of the log file maybe you see someting but for me it's not clear :-p.
The masterswitch called "alles uit living"
The group called "G_Alles_Living"

and this is my script

Code: Select all

-- group trigger

return {
            on      = { devices = { "Alles_Uit_Living"}}, -- Change to the name of the switch that you want to use for controlling the group 
    
    execute = function(dz,item)
        local myGroup = "G_Alles_Living"              -- Change to the name of the group that you want to control 
        if item.state == "Off" then
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOff()              
 -- My mistake          item.switchOn().aftersec(3).silent()       -- Masterswitch will return to On state after 3 seconds without triggering any script
 -- should be 
             item.switchOn().afterSec(3).silent()       -- Masterswitch will return to On state after 3 seconds without triggering any script
 
        else
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOn()
        end
    end
}

i try dzvents all,device and group

Please try after changing aftersec(3) to afterSec(3) ; I made a mistake in my example script and case matters for dzVents commands.

Also please edit your post and enclose your scripts and log in [ code] [ /code) tags (use the </> symbol on top of the edit window

Can anyone point me to the right direction how i can use a wall switch to controll other switches?

There are more answers to this.
1. Group activation device; goto the edit page of your group to the part Activation devices. Press Add device button and you will have a couple of seconds to press the switch that you want to control your group.
2. Use dzVents script below.

Spoiler: show

Code: Select all

-- group trigger

return {
            on      = { devices = { "groupSwitch"}}, -- Change to the name of the switch that you want to use for controlling the group 
    
    execute = function(dz,item)
        local myGroup = "Happy NewYear"              -- Change to the name of the group that you want to control 
        if item.state == "Off" then
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOff()
        else
            dz.groups(myGroup).switchOn()
        end
    end
}

3. Blockly

Do you have to use both Blockly and dzVents to make this function work? Or only one of them is enough?

It is either 1, -2 or 3. So one of them is enough

Great! Can you help me with a simple script that i need too?
If pir1 motion not detected more than 5 mins AND door1 opens then run scene1 ..
can this work with a blockly script? Most of the scripts i see (in lua) are creating time stamps and compare each other values.. still i get confused with tha device tags etc.

[waaren]

Great! Can you help me with a simple script that i need too?

I stick to dzVents scripts as it can do anything that can be done in Lua or Blockly and more. If dzVents is ok , I am happy to help.
Best to first have a look at the wiki and look at the available examples.
Probably you will end with a device triggered script that will evaluate the state of the door and the lastUpdate value of the PIR.

I've tried your dzvent script but it only switched the lights to on. The off function never worked. I'm a little bit confused though and i'm trying to understand the logic behind it...

if item.state == "Off" then
dz.groups(myGroup).switchOff()
else
dz.groups(myGroup).switchOn()

What i get? if the state is off then off or else on?

Shouldn't it be if state is off then ON or else OFF ?
I've tried to swap the switchon switchoff values to experiment and got an error. it didn't work at all.

The lights only goes off if i press from the admin panel the off function on the switch (which physically the switch doesn't have)
it's a xiaomi mini switch with click / double click /long press

So i have to check on the beggining if the value from the switch is a click , right? AND then if value of the light is on go to off and vice versa

Please share the complete script as you have it now and the loglines it produces. If your switch does not give an Off or On state the sxcript will not react. Also make sure you use groups and not scenes. ( A scene cannot be switched Off.)

Just managed to make it work and i’m partying like a kid in disneyland . I found out the toggleGroup function and it was so simple! I was trying all day with if on then off etc and was almost having smoke coming out of my head, hahah. Thank you!

Only ome problem! Why sometimes my lights which are on the group do not come on both on or full on? (Hue lights)

Code: Select all

 -- group trigger
return {
    on  = { devices = { "MiSwitch2"}},
    
    execute = function(dz,item)
        if item.state == "Click" then
        dz.devices("Bedroom").toggleSwitch()            
        end
    end    
}
