Turn on two devices one after the other [Solved]

[Quax1507]

Hello community,

I am trying to turn on two devices (garden irrigators) one after the other unsing one trigger.

The two relevant code lines are:

Code: Select all

if [...]
  irrigator1.switchOn().forMin(10)
  irrigator2.switchOn().afterMin(10).forMin(10)
elseif [...]

Both irrigators should be activated for 10 minutes - one after the other.

Using the commands above, they are turned on at the same time, but I don't really undertsand why...

Any idea?

Using the commands above, they are turned on at the same time, but I don't really undertsand why...

I cannot replicate this on my test system (V2020.2 build 12242, dzVents 3.0.11) My test script does trigger the test lights as- and when expected (see below for script and log)

What is your domoticz / dzVents version?
What is the the hardware, devicetype and subtype of these devices?

Code: Select all

return {
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'testFor',
            'testLamp1',
            'testLamp2',

        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker= 'testFor',
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local tester = dz.devices('testFor')
        local l1 = dz.devices('testLamp1')
        local l2 = dz.devices('testLamp2')


        dz.log('State of ' .. l1.name .. ' is ' .. l1.state,dz.LOG_DEBUG )
        dz.log('State of ' .. l2.name .. ' is ' .. l2.state,dz.LOG_DEBUG )

        if item == tester then
            l1.switchOn().forMin(2)
            l2.switchOn().afterMin(2).forMin(2)
        end
    end
}

log from script

Spoiler: show

Code: Select all

I am on Build 12240 and ended up doing this:

Code: Select all

if [...]
  irrigator1.switchOn().afterSec(1).forMin(10)
  irrigator2.switchOn().afterMin(10).forMin(10)
elseif [...]

This works without any problems so far...

Little difference: my trigger is a time. Perhaps the reason?

Little difference: my trigger is a time. Perhaps the reason?

Not likely. I also tested with a timer as trigger: same result. Also strange that it now works with the extra afterSec() while the initial afterMin() seem to have been ignored.
Can you share the log for both situations? Also what is the hardware, devicetype and subtype?

[Quax1507]

I did some more testing and I found the reason

I used "irrigator2.switchOn().aftermin(10).forMin(10)"

instead of "irrigator2.switchOn().afterMin(10).forMin(10)"

Stupid typo!

Thank You for Your support!!
