Very basic off/on with timer

[tontze]

Hi !

Im a blockly user, but blockly does not support seconds, so im out of luck there :/

Im looking for a very basic script, turning switch off->on defined number of times with defined interval. Is this done how ?

Thank you in advance

does the timer function of a switch not fill your needs?

Nope, i need seconds Otherwise i would have been doing it with blockly ..

What should trigger the actions ?

[snellejellep]

you can do it in dzvents with for example <switchname>.switchOff().afterSec(5) which switches it off after 5 seconds

certain time of day, like 20:00, switch is on, then it switches off and on 6 times in 1 sec interval, and stays on.

this should do the trick, turning it on and off 6 times and then leaving it on at 20:00
i assumed it would be a lamp so called it that but you can fill in the name of the switch you want to use in place of yourlampnameoridx

Code: Select all

return {
    on ={
        timer={
            'at 20:00' -- the time at which this script should trigger
        }
    },

    execute = function(dz, device)
        
        local lamp          = dz.devices("yourlampnameoridx")
        
        lamp.switchOn()
        lamp.switchOff().afterSec(1)
        lamp.switchOn().afterSec(2)
        lamp.switchOff().afterSec(3)
        lamp.switchOn().afterSec(4)
        lamp.switchOff().afterSec(5)
        lamp.switchOn().afterSec(6)
        lamp.switchOff().afterSec(7)
        lamp.switchOn().afterSec(8)
        lamp.switchOff().afterSec(9)
        lamp.switchOff().afterSec(10)
        lamp.switchOn().afterSec(11)

    end
}

dzVents version

Code: Select all

return 
{
	on = 
	{
		timer = 
		{
			'at 20:00',
		},
	},
	execute = function(dz)
	    light = dz.devices('Flicker')
	    for i = 0, 12, 2 do
	        light.switchOff().afterSec(i)
	        light.switchOn().afterSec(i + 1)
	    end     
	end
}

Classic Lua version (save with trigger type timer)

Code: Select all

local executionTime = '20:00'
local light = 'Flicker' -- Name of your light

commandArray = {}

if os.date('%H:%M') == executionTime then
     for i = 0, 12, 2 do
        commandArray[#commandArray + 1] = { [light] = 'Off AFTER ' .. i }
        commandArray[#commandArray + 1] = { [light] = 'On AFTER ' .. (i + 1) }
    end
end

return commandArray
