Is the washing machine done?

[junctureengraving]

I will look into it and let you know after a while.

[jaaap]

I have been struggling to get a text sensor to be updated with the information on the status of the washmachine. I know many of you have a notification set up, but I would like to have a switch or text sensor to be updated. That way, anyone looking at the dashboard can see the wash is done (and hopefully, people will put it in the dryer voluntarily

I've tried several pieces of code. For instance:

Code: Select all

local StatusWasmachine

domoticz.StatusWasmachine.updateText('wasmachine is klaar')

I inserted this code after the line where this message is printed to the log.

Does anyone have an example how I can fix this? Can some of you share your final script so I can see and learn from them?

Change the lines to

Code: Select all

local StatusWasmachine = domoticz.devices('name of your text sensor')
StatusWasmachine.updateText('wasmachine is klaar')

Hi waaren,

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I keep getting the same respons in the log:

Thanks in advance for helping out!


EDIT: it works! (I knew it would, since it was coming from waaren

I found out that one should place code that calls on devices (such as 'local StatusWasmachine = domoticz.devices('Status wasmachine')' after the 'execute = function' and that you should be afware of capitals and lowercase lettering... (my bad... )

Thanks waaren, you're golden!

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I keep getting the same respons in the log:

Code: Select all

2019-09-30 00:04:26.606 Status: dzVents: Error (2.4.19): .../scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/is de was klaar 2.lua:25: attempt to call field 'devices' (a nil value)

I understand that it is bit confusing in this script. That's why I am not a big fan of declaring a lot of variables before the "execute =" block

at line 25 there is no domoticz object known to the script yet as it passed to execute block (at line 45) so you cannot refer to any of the attributes in it either.
If you move this line 25 to the line directly after the current line 45 you will not see this error. (have not checked anything else)
[EDIT] Good that you found it !!

[gjaa]

Thanks for the script
I use it for the computers of the kids
But the next step is automatic off
I'm not a scripter so what is the best solution
I tried with blockly but the computers don't start anymore
I think I need an delay, so when switch is off for 5 minutes --> power off computers

Who can help me

Hi all,

I've reinstalled domoticz on a raspberry pi (first install was on synology nas). I've imported the database from the NAS to the raspberry pi. All went well, except for a simpel script that is now giving the error:

Hi all,

I've reinstalled domoticz on a raspberry pi (first install was on synology nas). I've imported the database from the NAS to the raspberry pi. All went well, except for a simpel script that is now giving the error:

Code: Select all

2020-05-14 10:21:58.229 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.0.2) An error occurred when calling event handler is de was klaar

I don't see an obvious error so best to add some loglines.
Can you insert these lines jus above line 103?

Code: Select all

				domoticz.log(device.name .. ', actual Watt = ' .. tostring(device.WhActual),domoticz.LOG_FORCE )
				domoticz.log('Defined max watt ' .. tostring(watt),domoticz.LOG_FORCE )

[jaaap]

So I added the lines, as you requested @waaren :

This let me to believe that SC-Wasmachine was not giving a number, but something else. I looked up SC-Wasmachine in the devices tab and found out that is was labelled as 'Custom Sensor'. In my previous install it is labelled as 'kWh'. This let me to the conclusion that SC-Wasmachine is labelled wrong in Domoticz.

I deleted the whole hs110 device in the hardware tab, re-activeted it, but still the same result.

I vaguely remember that I've adjusted a number in the domoticz database in order to change the Custom Sensor into a kWh sensor. Only I can't remember how I did it. Do you maybe know a way to do this?

UPDATE:

I found out that to change the subType you have to change the plugin itself a bit (thanks to this post: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 51#p234451 and @ajay100). Because that is where the devices are defined. In my install, on a raspberry pi, do the following:

Code: Select all

cd /home/pi/domoticz/plugins/domoticz-tplink-smartplug
vi plugin.py

Then go down to the part where the devices are defined and change it into (use i to insert and DEL to remove text):

Code: Select all

Domoticz.Device(Name="emeter power (W)", Unit=4, Type=243, Subtype=29).Create()  # Subtype 29 is kWh

The close the vi editor by typing:

Code: Select all

:wq

Go back to domoticz, hardware tab, remove the hs110 and re-add it. Now the sensor should be of the kWh type.

[waaren]

I vaguely remember that I've adjusted a number in the domoticz database in order to change the Custom Sensor into a kWh sensor. Only I can't remember how I did it. Do you maybe know a way to do this?

Before you got that path you could also try after changing

Code: Select all

device.WhActual

to

Code: Select all

tonumber(device.sValue)

everywhere in the script. (Line 88, 94, 96, 103 and 105)

[gizmocuz]

@felix63

Thank you for the script!

I'm not sure if your latest script in the first post is still the latest code, but I found a small issue in the script.

this line:

domoticz.log(machine .. " gebruikte gemiddeld: " .. tostring(domoticz.data[usage].avg))

should be
domoticz.log(machine .. " gebruikte gemiddeld: " .. tostring(domoticz.data[usage].avg()))

"domoticz.data[usage].avg()" ... missing ()

But you already log the average value a few lines above (using the variable which is nicer), so this is a bit duplicate

Without the above fix you will see this in the log:

2020-08-20 08:00:00.843 Status: dzVents: Info: timer trigger

2020-08-20 08:00:00.860 Status: dzVents: Info: Wasmachine lijkt standby te staan, we nemen aan klaar.

In the first block you also declare the 'timeout' but you are not using it and do log
"maar nog te kort om klaar te zijn"

Is there a 'if/then' check missing maybe here ?

I have a few wishes:

- There seems to be two blocks of code that does the same thing (one in Dutch, the other in English), one triggered on a timer,
the other on a device usage update
Would it be nice to have one function that can be called in both cases that do all the logic ?
In that case the code is also easier to maintain

- When you have multiple devices you see a line above 'device = WasDroger', but the following log lines do not include that name, except when you say 'gebruikt geen energie, dus is uit' then you do include a device name
My suggestion is to always start with the device name (and skip the device = WasDroger log line)

- There is a little to much logging going on.... maybe get the status of the virtual switch first, and when you have a check if there is no energy used, and the switch was already off, do not log a single line
Same when value is below the threshold and the switch is already off, do not log anything for that device
Or when the switch if already on, and the avg is above the threshold do not log

[felix63]

Thanks for your suggestions. Will revisit the script this weekend. Will post any updates!

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this script!

I've installed the latest script as an dzVents lua script by copy-pasting it in domoticz and every 5 minutes it runs nicely, but when I check the log it says:
2020-12-05 10:25:01.138 Status: dzVents: Info: POW: ------ Start internal script: Was_Droog:, trigger: "every 5 minutes"

2020-12-05 10:25:01.139 Status: dzVents: Info: POW: ------ Finished Was_Droog

I've made the following switches:

switches.jpg (53.4 KiB) Viewed 1855 times

The SC-Wasmachine and SC-Wasdroger are the protected switches and physical sockets pluged in to an outlet
The SC-Wasmachine verbruik and SC-Wasdroger verbruik have the types "electrical" and are the ones having the output in Watts and I saw that they have the value of 0/xx, perhaps that's why the script is not working?
The Wasmachine and Wadroger are dummy-switches which have to be turned on and send a notification when the wasmachine or wasdroger are ready.

Can someone help me monitoring more then one apparaat (device)?

Your output of the devices you use looks peculiar. Output doesn't seem to be in Watt? Can you post the info from Setup / Devices?

mine looks:

Code: Select all

Hi felix63,

Thanks for replying. My screenshot is made where you can add scripts: (More options / Events)

The info from Setup / Devices is:

Code: Select all

164	ZWave USB	0011401	2	SC-Wasmachine verbruik	Usage	Electric	17.8 Watt	-	-	   	2020-12-06 10:05:39

Today is the perfect day to test the script, because it is laundry day

Edit:
I think I see the problem. My devices are called "verbruik", in your output it says "gebruik". Oops!

It works!

Glad it works for you now!

The script is running, but I don't get a message on telegram?

[felix63]

In my case the script turns a virtual switch on and off. I added a notification to the virtual switch itself. So the notification is not done by the script itself. This gives maximal flexibility to the whole notification...

[dheuts]

Good morning,

Thanks for this nice script. I am trying to test it, and the virtual switch pops on when I turn the device on. But after turning it off, the virtual switch doesn't wait 6 minutes, but pops off within seconds. Here is a part of my logfile. Does anyone know why this happens?
To test it, I plugged in a device of 66 Watt, not my washing machine.

EDIT: I think I know the problem, the script is running much more then every 5 minutes... How to fix this?
