new command with .afterSec or cancel with .cancelQueuedCommands() [Solved]

[Gravityz]

i have a script which uses the afterSec(20) option.

at the moment when the script is called the timer is reset to 20 seconds again.

is this the way to do things or should i first cancel the previous command with .cancelQueuedCommands()

eg, is the .cancelQueuedCommands() neccesary because it works with this command as well but i do not know if this eats up memory by extending the timer instead of closing it and calling it again

i basically want the timer to be extended when movement is detected instead of switching the light off and on again

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        devices = {
            ['PIR sensor'] = {'between sunset and 00:00'}
        }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, beweging)
        domoticz.devices('Veranda').cancelQueuedCommands()
            if beweging.state == 'On'  then
            domoticz.devices('Veranda').switchOn().checkFirst().afterSec(20)
            
            end
    end
}

The cancelQueuedCommand() is not needed here.

In this case it does not matter. In the deeper code of domoticz the same actions are done. The previous scheduled command is canceled and the new one is scheduled

My personal preference is to include it anyway because it makes the code-logic easier to follow. But that may well be different for you.
