Working with date/ time is not very intuitive in Lua...
but this script should do what you want.

Code: Select all

	commandArray = {}
	-- os.time() gets the current / date time as a number (seconds since 1970)
	-- os.date ('*t',  <number> ) returns a date / time table based on <number>
		
        local now = os.date('*t',os.time()) -- get current date / time in table now
        
        for key, value in pairs(now) do
		print (key .. ' ==>> ' .. tostring(value)) -- print content of table
	end

        -- Déclenchement tous les jours à 0:02
	if now.wday == 5 and now.hour == 17  and now.min == 55  then
	    commandArray['SAM']='On'
	end

	return commandArray

Okay not very intuitive so how would you do actions at certain times with specific days? What do you recommend?

I would use dzVents or if you don't want that something as I posted a couple of minutes ago..
