Need help with sunscreen script [Solved]

[drwurn]

Since I can't make such a script with blockly cause of the multiple 'if' I need some help with dzvents. Did some reading on wiki and the forum but guess I'm not much of a script writer.

The weather conditions are from darksky

What I want to create is the following:

If
'zonnescherm' is closed
Time is between 11.30 and sunset
Date is between 1 april and 30 september
'Windsnelheid Assen' <8
'UV Index Assen' >1
'Regen voorspelling Assen' <1

Then
Set 'Zonnescherm' On

If 'Zonnescherm' is On and one of the conditions changing, 'Zonnescherm' should close. (Off)


Not sure if I'm missing something.

Who can help me with creating this?

Could be something like this

        on =        { timer   =   {"every 10 minutes between 11:30 and 10 minute after sunset on 1/4-30/9"}},
    
        logging =   {   level   =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                        marker  =   "Sunscreen" },
    
    execute = function(dz)
        local sunscreen       = dz.devices(###)                      -- replace ### by your sunscreen device IDX 
        local windSpeed       = dz.devices(###).speed                 -- replace ### by your virtual wind device IDX

        local OnConditionsMet =  sunscreen.state == "Open" and   -- Maybe you need to reverse this to ~= or to "Closed"
                                 windSpeed < 8 and
                                 UV > 1 and
                                 rainPrediction < 1 and
                                 dz.time.matchesRule("between 11:30 and sunset") 
        
        if OnConditionsMet then
            sunscreen.switchOff()
        else
            sunscreen.switchOn().checkFirst()
        end   
    end

        else
            sunscreen.switchOn().checkFirst()
        end   
    end
}

That looks good.
I've spend the intire evening on this script.

Code: Select all

return {
   on = {
       timer = { 'on 1/4-30/9 between 11:30 and sunset' },
         },
   execute = function (domoticz, item)
      if item.isTimer and
      domoticz.devices('Test lamp').state == "On" and 
      domoticz.devices('UV Index Assen').uv >0 then
         domoticz.devices('Dummy Zonnescherm').switchOn()
      else
         domoticz.devices('Dummy Zonnescherm').switchOff()
      end
   end
}
 

Still not finished and needs testing.
Also need to work out how to get a message when the sunscreen is set to off, and which variable causes it.

Does this help ?

I've made a dummy switch for the sunscreen for testing.
The dummy switch turned on this morning but didn't turn off after sunset or because of the UV rule

Can you check what the On / Off equivalent of "Open" is for your sunscreen and report back ?
What would also help is to add some log statements.
Thx

Open = On and Close = Off.
The sunscreen isn't responding at all with the script, without the script the screen works as normal. Double checked the IDX's and they're right.

At line 23 there is an extra space after the word Closed that does not belong there. Can you correct that and try again ?
