question about timers

[pvklink]

I have a question about timers.

When a switch is on for x minutes or must be set to off after x minutes, are these timers deleted when the same switch is manually set to off?

I have a switch hetregent which is set for a period of time and if in the period of time a sensor get's a new signal that it is raining the switch hetregent must be set to on for the new/latest period of time and the old period must be deleted.

Code: Select all

return {
    on      =    {devices = {'$tuinwatersensor'}},

    logging =   { 
                    level   = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG ,                  -- Uncomment to override the dzVents global logging setting
                    marker  = "Watermeting" 
                },
              
    data    =   {
                    raintable = { history = true,  maxHours = 1 },
                },
        
    execute = function(dz, device, info)
        
        local switch        = dz.devices('hetregent')

        local norm          = 5
        local DurTimer      = 800
        local huidwaarde    = device.state 
        local now           = os.time(os.date('*t'))      

        if huidwaarde == nil then               -- onderstaande checks moeten na de locals omdat ze deze ook gebruiken!
            dz.log("01 Sensor info         = Geen waarde opgehaald")
        else
            dz.data.raintable.add(huidwaarde)
        end

        local aantal = 0
        for i = dz.data.raintable.size,1,-1 do 
            aantal = aantal +1
            item = dz.data.raintable.get(i)
            dz.log("00 History data van " .. item.time.rawDate .. " " .. item.time.rawTime .. 
                                    " = " .. item.data)
        end

        dz.log("Deviceinfo---------------------------------------")
        dz.log("00 Sensor...........................= " .. device.name)
        dz.log("00 Switch-device....................= " .. switch.name)
        dz.log("00 Uitzetten.na(in.min).............= " .. DurTimer)
        dz.log("Sensor info-------------------------------------")
        dz.log("00 Aantal.norm......................= " .. norm)
        dz.log("00 Aantal gemeten...................= " .. aantal)
        dz.log("00 Aantal.huidige waarde............= " .. huidwaarde)
        dz.log("00 Notificatie.switch.laatste update= " .. tostring(switch.lastUpdate.rawTime)) -- deze is goed
        dz.log("-------------------------------------------------")

    if  aantal >= norm  then 

        if switch.state == 'Off' then
            switch.switchOn()
            switch.switchOff().afterMin(DurTimer)
        else
            switch.switchOff()
            switch.switchOn()
            switch.switchOff().afterMin(DurTimer)
        end

        dz.log('Script: ' .. info.scriptName .. ' Regendruppel signalen (' .. aantal .. ') is gelijk of boven de norm(' .. norm .. '), ' .. switch.name .. ' wordt geactiveerd voor ' .. tostring(DurTimer) .. ' Minuten ', dz.LOG_INFO)

    end

end
}

When a switch is on for x minutes or must be set to off after x minutes, are these timers deleted when the same switch is manually set to off?

No, timer is not deleted by the On or Off commands. Use cancelQueuedCommands for that.
New code snippet would then look like:

Code: Select all

  if  aantal >= norm  then 
       switch.cancelQueuedCommands()
       switch.switchOn().checkFirst()
       switch.switchOff().afterMin(DurTimer)
        dz.log('Script: ' .. info.scriptName .. ' Regendruppel signalen (' .. aantal .. ') is gelijk of boven de norm(' .. norm .. '), ' .. switch.name .. ' wordt geactiveerd voor ' .. tostring(DurTimer) .. ' Minuten ', dz.LOG_INFO)
   end

@waaren: your change works perfect!
thanks again!

My irrigationprogram is stopped now when:
Local weather is 'rain' or
my watersensor measures water...

good for the environment!
