Doorswitch to turn on and off a light Topic is solved

[waaren]

I see in the log door goes open and door is closed.

Can you share that complete part of the log where you see the the door opening and closing ?

Hi,

I have some of the same door/window sensors. They send a 'On' command for both the open and close state but with a different EV1527 code.

Maybe try to change:

Code: Select all

if door == open then
...
elseif door == closed then
...

with

Code: Select all

if door.name == open.name then
...
elseif door.name == closed.name then
...

Maybe try to change:

Code: Select all

if door == open then
...
elseif door == closed then
...

with

Code: Select all

if door.name == open.name then
...
elseif door.name == closed.name then
...

Always worth a try but in this case that should not make a difference. In door == open, I compare the device object to the triggering object. Here it will have the same result as checking the names (a string). Name is just one attribute of the object so in theory you can get a false positive when checking only this attribute (different objects with equal name attributes)

It is working now.
I changed some names, so i post the script:

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        devices = { 
            ['deur open'] = { 'at nighttime' },
            ['deur close'] = { 'at nighttime' },            
        },
    },
    
    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
    },
    
    execute = function(dz, door)
        _G.logMarker = _G.moduleLabel
        local light = dz.devices('deur')
        
        open = dz.devices('deur open')
        closed = dz.devices('deur close')
        
        dz.log('state of ' .. door.name .. ': ' .. door.state .. ' => ' .. (door.active and ' active' or 'not active') )
        
        if door.name == open.name then
            light.switchOn()
        elseif door.name == closed.name then
            light.switchOff().afterSec(10)
        end
    end
}

This are the results of the log file:

Thanks a lot to you all.
I can now build futher with my home automation.

Glad it's solved

Meanwhile did a quick test with and without the .name attribute.
Both output true if so
so, issue must have been in the name of the devices.

Thx for testing and the confirmation.
