Timer does not function [Solved]

[PeterB1]

I have made a testscript in DzVents. The script runs Oke, but the timer does not work. Looking at the logfile it gives almost every minute a result. Also changing the timer in a fixed time does not work. What do I wrong.

Code: Select all

return {

        on =
        {
            timer = {' every 5 minutes '},
            devices = {'Windmeter','Kl Slaapkamer Barometer'}
        },
        execute = function(domoticz)
            local windrichting = domoticz.devices('Windmeter').directionString
            local temperatuur = domoticz.devices('Windmeter').temperature
            local luchtdruk = domoticz.devices('Kl Slaapkamer Barometer').barometer
            domoticz.log('windrichting = ' .. tostring(windrichting))
            domoticz.log('luchtdruk = ' .. tostring(luchtdruk))
            domoticz.log('temperatuur = ' .. tostring(temperatuur))
        end
}

Just tested your script and it executes every 5 minutes. Tested on domoticz build 12230 / dzVents 3.0.11
What is your domoticz/dzVents version and what do you see in the log? (added debug logging)

Code: Select all

return {

        on =
        {
            timer = {' every 5 minutes '},
            devices = {'Windmeter','Kl Slaapkamer Barometer'}
        },
    
    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'timer 5 minutes',
    },

    execute = function(domoticz)
        local windrichting = domoticz.devices('Windmeter').directionString
        local temperatuur = domoticz.devices('Windmeter').temperature
        local luchtdruk = domoticz.devices('Kl Slaapkamer Barometer').barometer
        domoticz.log('windrichting = ' .. tostring(windrichting))
        domoticz.log('luchtdruk = ' .. tostring(luchtdruk))
        domoticz.log('temperatuur = ' .. tostring(temperatuur))
    end
}

What you see here is that the script was triggered because of an update to the Windmeter device.

If the script is triggered by the timer you will see

----- Start internal script: Script #5:, trigger: " every 5 minutes "

You setup the script to trigger on both a timer ('every 5 minutes') as well as on the devices 'Windmeter' and 'Kl Slaapkamer Barometer'
so if the Windmeter receives an update once a minute and the Barometer once every 2 minutes your script will be triggered 17 times in 10 minutes.

2 times because of the timer
5 times because of an update to the Barometer device
10 times because of an update to the WindMeter device
