Pause DZVents script [Solved]

[alarm_guy1]

Hi guys,

I have a DZvents script, that runs well.

Basically my bathroom lights come on @ 90%when the detector picks you up, If the time is after 22:00 and before 06:00 the light comes on @20% so it is not too bright at night. and all the while it detects movement the lights stay on

However the issue I have is when the good lady in my life has a bath she asks Alexa, bathroom 20% all good however If she moves the lights then go back to 90%.
I need something that can pause the script for say an hour and the light will just stay at the level set

i.e. Alexa Bathtime on, script stops lights come on @20% and stay on until Alexa bathime off.

any help appreciated

cheers

How about you only change the level if the light was off to begin with? So rather than reset on every movement, do it only if the light is off?

Thankyou for you reply, it is a difficult situation that cannot easily be rectified.
as we could go for a bath or shower at anytime or just go to wash and clean our teeth toilet etc. and there is no easy way for a system to know what we want to do, without extra sensors.

but I really require to just disable the DZvents

Probably easiest to create a dummy device in domoticz and change the Alexa action to this device. The dzVents script below will ensure that the lights will not change dimLevel when triggered by PIR while this dummy device is active.

Code: Select all

local alexaDummyDevice = xxx -- <<<----- replace xxx by IDX of your alexaDummyDevice

return  {
            on          =   {
                                devices           =        {
                                                            "Bathroom MD Sensor",
                                                            alexaDummyDevice,
                                                        },
                            },

            logging     =   {
                                level           =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                                marker          =   "Bathroom Motion"
                            },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        local dimmed         = 20                 -- dimlevel 
        local bright         = 90                 -- dimlevel
        local shortVisit    = 300                -- seconds
        local longStay        = 3600               -- seconds
        
        local function logWrite(str,level)
            dz.log(str,level or dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end

        local LuxDevice          = dz.devices(450)                 -- <<<--- replace xxx by IDX of your Lux device
        local Lux                = LuxDevice.lux
        local Lights             = dz.devices(440)                       -- <<<--- replace xxx by IDX of your Bathroom lights
        local alexaActivated     = dz.devices(alexaDummyDevice).active

        logWrite(LuxDevice.name .. " ==>> Lux:   " .. Lux )
        logWrite(Lights.name ..    " ==>> State: " .. Lights.state)
        logWrite(item.name ..      " ==>> State: " .. item.state)

        if item.id == alexaDummyDevice then
            Lights.cancelQueuedCommands()
            if item.active then
                Lights.dimTo(dimmed)
                item.switchOff().afterSec(longStay)
            else
                Lights.switchOff()
            end
        elseif Lux < 100 and item.state == "On" and not ( alexaActivated ) then
            Lights.cancelQueuedCommands()

            if dz.time.matchesRule("at 23:00-06:00") then
                Lights.dimTo(dimmed)
            else
                Lights.dimTo(bright)
            end
        elseif item.state == "Off" and Lights.state == "On" and not ( alexaActivated ) then
            Lights.switchOff().afterSec(shortVisit)
        end
    end
}

Excellant, I will give this a try.

Many many thanks
