Help for dimming time script

djksage · Post by **djksage** » Tuesday 10 September 2019 19:13

hello,

I need some help to make dzvents script,

Between 21:30 to 06:30, when i press my switch, i would like light to 20%, other time at 100%

my first tink is, make dimTo(20) with a order swtichOff directly to setup level at 20% and when i press my switch, light is dimming to 20%
but not work, if i press my switch, light is always 100% ( or last manual state )

i read the wiki, and find maybee a solution quietOn/quietOff,

but when i use quietOn i have always a error

attempt to call field 'quieton' (a nil value)

can i use quietOn with a level or dimTo fonction?

sorry,i'm not good to make script for my test i make this :

Code: Select all

return {
   on = {
      timer = {
         'at 16:53'
      }
   },
   execute = function(domoticz, timer)
      domoticz.log('Script Run')
         domoticz.devices('SDB').quietOn.().dimTo(20)
         domoticz.devices('SDB').switchOff()
    end
}

thanks for your help

Couple of questions.

What is the name of your switch ?
Should the script also switch the light Off and by the same switch or should it switch off after a certain time ?
If the light is on at 21:30 or at 06:30 should it change dimlevel ?

the name is SDB but finaly is for 3 switch (bathroom, hall, my room)

script need only setup dimming value (20%) for turn On/Off/dimming is only manualy on pushing my switch buton.
If the light is on at 21:30 or at 06:30 should it change dimlevel ?

Yes is the best solution but if it is too hard isn't matter, is only for use 5 or 10 min max (time to go on bathroom and go back on my bed)

thanks for your help

Guess I mis something. switchname is SDB, What is the name of the dimmable light ?

hello,

my light name is SDB

sorry, my mistake, i use a qubino ZMNHSD1, my switch buton is connected directly on qubino so i don't have a switch declared on DZ to turn on my light

Hopefully domoticz will see the light switching. If not I don't know how to do what you described.
Can you try this ?

Code: Select all

return 
{
   on = 
   {
      devices = { 'SDB' },
   },
   
    logging = 
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'dim based on time'  
    },
    
   execute = function(dz, item)
        
        if item.active then  
            if dz.time.matchesRule('at 06:30-21:30') then
                item.dimTo(100).silent()
            else
                item.dimTo(20).silent()
            end
        end
    end
}

hello,

with your script, i can't turn off my light, but timing work fine

so :

-if light is off @ 21:28, if i turn on => light is 100% and i can't turn off (tested with switch, app and web gui) @ 21:30 DZ dimto 20% without possibility to turn off

-if light is off @ 21:32 (and last state is 100%) and i turn on => light is dim to 20% directly but always without possibility to turn off, i turn off this script for full control my light

What I see in the log is that Zwave send two signals directly after each other. Only way to deal with that would be to build in a check to exclude actions directly after an earlier one.
Hopefully this will do it.

Code: Select all

return
{
   on =
   {
      devices = { 'SDB' },
   },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'dim based on time'
    },

   execute = function(dz, item)

        dz.log('SDB state: ' .. item.state,dz.LOG_DEBUG)

        if item.active and item.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 4 then 
                if dz.time.matchesRule('at 06:30-21:30') then
                    item.dimTo(100).silent()
                else
                    item.dimTo(20).silent()
                end

    end

IT'S work! turn on directly of good % and turn off also

Hello Waaren I have been using this script for some time to dim my lights, but with the latest release 2020-04-26, the script no longer works, the problem thinks it is this part of code "and item.lastUpdate.secondsAgo> 4" because when I exclude it it works but then as you already know then you make me in loop, how can I do thanks!

Can you show me the domoticzlog when you activate the SDB with this script and the with the modified one ?
What was the version you used before the latest one and where this script still worked ?

Hello Waaren thx for reply, yes this the code that always work,

I noticed that with the latest version of domoticz, the update of the zwave devices is very fast in fact the script seems to work by lowering the control time of the last update to 0.1 but this sometimes messes up the whole network! do you know any other way to do what i need?

Code: Select all

if item.active and item.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 0.1 then

Maybe that's the problem https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/4112, in any case I can only downgrade Dzvents?

No that is not possible because of the close integration. Anyway the issue is in the domoticz core code. Not in the dzVents part.

Can I do something for now or wait for the fix?

Probably it is best to wait for a fix because when you downgrade to build 11865 you will have an incompatibel database.
