Ok I tried my first easy lua script today for switching garden lights at sunset and switch them off a few hours after.
When during testing I used a time it worked perfectly. When I us trigger 'at sunset' it doesn't work. If I use ' at nighttime' is does work.
So for the ease I made a short test script and I really don't know why sunset doesn't work it should I think.
Ok so according to domoticz the sunset was today at 20:42
I checked sunsetInMinutes to check sunset was indeed calculated correctly
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
timer = {
-- 'on at nighttime every 2 minutes' -- WORKED
-- 'on at 5 minutes before sunset' -- DIDN't WORK at 20:37
-- 'on at sunset' -- DIDN't WORK at 20:42
-- 'on 18/4 at 21:19' -- WORKED
}
},
execute = function(domoticz)
local sunset = domoticz.time.sunsetInMinutes
domoticz.log('sunset works ' ..sunset.. ' sunset')
end
}
Code: Select all
