Updating incremental counter with TIME value / json

[piotrm]

OK need some time to test if the counter incremental is best suited for this or that using a 'normal'counter is preferable. Might take a couple of days before I have these results.

I thought the solution would be to add a few lines of code, which would take you a few minutes. Thanks for your time!

I don't know which Domoticz counters a regular counter or counter incremental will be better. I would like to have daily, weekly, monthly and yearly statistics, as long as it doesn't cause you a big problem.

By the way, such functionality (counting the time of the switch) should be built into Domoticz in my opinion.

Thanks for the script. I'll test it today and let you know.

See below script adjusted for an incremental counter. Please feel free to ask clarification if something is not clear.

The script works perfectly and even better than I expected. Very easy to set up and does its job.

After a slight modification (multiplication or division of time) for receivers with constant power (e.g. electric boiler, electric heater, light bulb) you can measure energy consumption or the cost of the device without any additional hardware. Very useful detail.

Once again, many thanks for help!!!

Hi,

First and foremost, I would like to thank the contributors for this script that has proven to be quite useful.

However, since I last updated Domoticz (the latest march version), my counter has gone haywire. It used to count correctly, an hour here and there of daily use, and a correct total increment (around 300 since I included the script).
Since the Domoticz update (on my Syno NAS), the total counter shot up to 21000, and yesterday's daily counter was up to 19000. Tried to work out numbers, wondering if it was an hours/minutes/seconds problem, but the numbers don't seem to add up.

Anyone else encountering issues since the update?

Thanks

can you please set the script log to debug and share your devicetype(s) and other settings ? Maybe it helps in finding what is causing the issue.

[Ayep]

OK thanks, here we go.

The timer is used to work out the duration of the pool filtration (another script, totally independent at this time, sets filtration at specific times and duration according to temperature - no variable is passed to and from though).

I've done a manual calculation, every minute now increments 344 hours on the counter. (Why 344? Can't find any obvious link - it's divisible by 8, which gives 43, a prime number)

This is what the log comes up with, when filtration is not running (counter not incrementing) :

Now, apart from the update, I have also very recently added a device, renamed a couple : but the script points to device numbers and those have not changed as far as I can tell... What on earth could be going wrong? If I am not alone, maybe then this is update related? I'm on 2020.1 (but strangely still get the notification to update to latest version). NAS is a DS415+ running on DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 4 : is up to date, but no recent update.

Many thanks for your input.

Hi all,
Has anyone been able to work out a fix? The problem with this script occurred with the upgrade to 2020.1. Since then, no luck, the script seems to adding cumulative values and not counting properly.
What could have triggered this behaviour? Any idea of alternative scripts of easy fixes?
Many thanks.

Dear @waaren,

I have also started using this script to monitor heating minutes daily. I see that the script adds up the total number of minutes the heater is on. I would like to be able to reset this counter 2 times a day for example at 09:00 am and at 21:00 pm and that before resetting the counter receive a telegram with the minutes that the boiler has consumed in the morning and the minutes that the boiler has consumed boiler at night.
no matter how much I think about it, I can't implement this. To reset the counter, I think it would be enough to enter "dz.data.secondsOn = 0", but I can't enter it in the script.
Also I have tried adding a timer and also adding today's date to the data of the script for when the date changes I reset the counter but I can't implement it. I have basic notions in dzvents I have little experience with complex scripts. Could you help me? thanks in advance. Merry Christmas

Dear @waaren,

Thanks for your help. I have tested your script. The script works correctly when the heating is off, but if the heating is on, the script doesn't reset the counter.

Maybe first we need update the counter at the trigger time, send the notification and after reset the counter and that the counter could keep counting since to the heating is on. Is possible? Thanks in advanced.

Also I have tried adding a timer and also adding today's date to the data of the script for when the date changes I reset the counter but I can't implement it. I have basic notions in dzvents I have little experience with complex scripts. Could you help me? thanks in advance. Merry Christmas

Maybe something like below

Dear @waaren,

I apologize, I did not test the script well. It works perfectly, the reset is not displayed until the next heater on and off cycle. If the heating is on at the time of reset, the counter continues to count perfectly until it is turned off. You are a teacher, you have helped me a lot. I am very grateful

Good afternoon, with the help of your code I have set up a Counter for myself, which counts the total working time of light bulbs in the house. Tell me, is it possible to somehow calculate the total energy consumption, and take into account in the code that each light bulb has a different consumption in W?

Yes that's possible.

Please share your script between code tags </> or if you cannot find these as plain text. That will help me showing you how it can be done.

I am just starting to understand the language of DzVents, is there something in the code in these highlighted places?

Good evening, thanks for the script! He's almost working, he doesn't want to count the seconds.

Just let it execute for a couple of switches. The first switch will be 0. Only when a device is switched off after a first switch On since the script was active the counter will increase.

the 'or 0' is there to ensure the value will be initialized the first time when the entry is still nil. This is standard Lua coding practice. Not dzVents specific.

The quotes around secondsOn are required because it is a string. Without the quotes it would be a variable.

Today I tried to turn on and off different switches several times, the seconds are still at zero

Can you share the script as you have it now between </> tags? Then I will add some debug lines to help finding where the differences between our setups are.
