timer device and helpers [Solved]

[poudenes]

Hi All,

Is it possible to have a timer that get his value from a helper of value stored in global_data?

Code: Select all

devices = {[SwitchTEST]    = { 'at daytime'}},
timer = {'at daytime'},

global_data

Code: Select all

Dag                     = { 'at daytime'}
Nacht                   = { 'at nighttime'}

I want change this. When I need to test some script that are activate only on day or night. I can switch the values in global_data and then everything is reverse from day to night and vs.

Not directly because domoticz.helpers is not there yet when time is evaluated. Indirect you can get true or false but that will still not enable you to switch around day- and nighttime. Quickest working option I can think of is (in <domoticz dir>/dzVents.runtime/Time.lua) switch lines

Code: Select all

747       if (string.find(rule, 'at nighttime')) then

and

Code: Select all

755        if (string.find(rule, 'at daytime')) then
