Period of time between LUA script executions Topic is solved

[mackowiakp]

I am new in LUA programming, so my question. Below is a little script to light LED on if entrace gate are open and tun it off when closed. As I understand, Domoticz runs such script every minute. That is what I want. Its because it sends WGET command each minute, it restore status of LED in case of power failure or other problems. RPi on which Domoticz is installed has UPS but remote unis (easyESP) where I send WGET - no.
I am right or not?

Code: Select all

local sensor = 'Brama - status'
t1 = os.time()
s = otherdevices_lastupdate[sensor]

year = string.sub(s, 1, 4)
month = string.sub(s, 6, 7)
day = string.sub(s, 9, 10)
hour = string.sub(s, 12, 13)
minutes = string.sub(s, 15, 16)
seconds = string.sub(s, 18, 19)

commandArray = {}

t2 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=hour, min=minutes, sec=seconds}
difference = (os.difftime (t1, t2))
--
-- wlaczenie LED jezeli brama otwarta dluzej niz 25 min
if (otherdevices[sensor] == 'Open' and difference > 1500 and difference < 99999) then
os.execute ("/usr/bin/wget -q -O - http://192.168.0.29/control?cmd=event,LED_on")
-- elseif (devicechanged[sensor] == 'Closed') then
elseif (otherdevices[sensor] == 'Closed' and difference > 1 and difference < 99999) then
os.execute ("/usr/bin/wget -q -O - http://192.168.0.29/control?cmd=event,LED_off")
end

return commandArray

If you have saved your Lua script as time based, it will be executed every minute.

As I wrote, I am new in LUA. Be so kind to explain what does it mean "save LUA script as time based"

If you use the domoticz internal event editor and choose Lua, you are offered options on how to open/save the script. One of the options is time.
