help with dzVents 2020.2 dim value [Solved]

[colint]

Hello All,

I am trying to get a dzVents script working but i have no succes.

The script i am using is from this topic viewtopic.php?f=59&t=29345
The problem is that de dim value is not changing at the times set is the script.

here is the script:

Code: Select all

return
{
   on =
   {
      devices = { 'Kinderkamer' },
   },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'dim based on time'
    },

   execute = function(dz, item)

        dz.log('Kinderkamer state: ' .. item.state,dz.LOG_DEBUG)

        if item.active and item.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 4 then 
                if dz.time.matchesRule('at 09:00-21:00') then
                    item.dimTo(100).silent()
                else
                    item.dimTo(20).silent()
                end
        elseif item.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 4 then
            item.dimTo(0).silent()
        end
    end
} 

here is de log:

Code: Select all

2020-05-09 11:24:36.478 Status: dzVents: Info: dim based on time: ------ Start internal script: Kinderkamer dimstand: Device: "Kinderkamer (Z-wave stick)", Index: 42

I think the correct syntax is ‘between 9:00 and 21:00’

What is your domoticz / dzVents version ?

Domoticz will not allow you to go back if you use the same database. Between these versions database schema changes were applied and domoticz will not revert these changes.

My approach would be to make a good backup of your current domoticz directory and update to latest Beta. Check if everything works ok and if so stay on this version and switch off check for updates in the settings system tab.
If you see other issues then stop domoticz, restore your backup and start domoticz again.

beta's in domoticz are just the latest stable with some bugfixes and new features.

You can see on this wiki page what the changes are in the latest beta compared to latest stable.

Updated to beta and it is fixed.

Thanks for your help!
