Trigger 10 minutes, execution every 45 seconds

[HvdW]

Hi,
In my script timer is set to 'every 10 minutes'
The log tells me that that is understood.
How come the script is executed every 45 seconds?

It is the script from this thread.

[waaren]

In my script timer is set to 'every 10 minutes'
How come the script is executed every 45 seconds?

Code: Select all

01:30:00 trigger: every 10 minutes
01:30:34 Device: "Kamer-temp (RFXtfx)"
14 01:31 Device: "Kamer-temp (RFXtfx)"
14 01:32 Device: "Kamer-temp (RFXtfx)"
01:32:49 Device: "Kamer-temp (RFXtfx)"

If you look at these lines, you see that the script starts at 01:30:00, triggered by the set timer of 'every 10 minutes'
The other starts are triggered by the device 'KLamer-temp (RFXtfx)' as requested in the 'device =' section.

Code: Select all

local TEMPERATURE_SENSOR = 'Kamer-temp (RFXtfx)' -- or (3)

		devices = { TEMPERATURE_SENSOR,}

Hi,
There was an answer here that the author deleted.
Anyway, he was right.
The script is activated by the incoming connection from the thermometer that is plotting every 45 seconds.

Two ways to resolve this:
- Include a wait/sleep/pause into the script
- Change the plotting time from the sensor either in Domoticz or in RFXtfx

Both options are something that I don't know how to achieve.
I would be gratefull for solutions.

I would be gratefull for solutions.

The way the script works depends on the value from the thermometer coming in and there is no harm that it executes every couple of seconds. That's just how the event system in domoticz works.
Anyway introducing a sleep in an event script is in general a bad idea because it will block the complete event system for the duration of that sleep. (event system is single threaded)

Dzvents code to turn on every hour

Code: Select all

 return {
        
    on = { timer = {"every hour"} },
    
	execute = function(domoticz, _)
		local myDevice = domoticz.devices("Fonte")
			myDevice.switchOn()
	end		
}

Lua code (Trigger Device) to turn off after 120seconds

Code: Select all

 commandArray = {}
 if (devicechanged['Fonte'] == 'On') then
     commandArray['Fonte']='Off AFTER 120'
 end
 return commandArray

FONTE is the name of the device i want to turn on every hour and just run for 2 minutes.
Hope this helps
