Lua script for controlling humidity in the bathroom Topic is solved

[Dekereluitherel]

Hi Guys,

frequent reader of the forum, but first post.
I'm having the same problems as BarryT since updating to latest beta:

the script does not work anymore because of the decimal in data from the humidity sensor (xiaomi sensor)

changing the integer to string does not work with me because the targetFanOffHumidity stays 0.

anyone knows how to fix this?

There are many different versions of this script flying around on this forum. If you share the version you use (or a link to it) I will have a look.

Hi waaren,

This is my script.

Code: Select all

--[[
 
This script controls the humidity in a typical bathroom setting by detecting
relative rises in humidity in a short period.
Of course it requires a humidity sensor and a binary switch controlling a fan/ventilator.
(there is no provision for variable speed ventilators here!)
 
How it works (assuming the default constants as defined below):
Every 5 minutes a reading is done. Every reading is stored together
with the previous reading and is stored in two user variables (humidityTmin5 and humidityTmin10).
So it has two reading over the past 10 minutes.
It then takes the lowest of the two and compares it with the latest reading and
calculates a delta.
If the delta is 3 or higher (see constants) then the fan will be turned
on, it calculates the target humidity and the 'humidity-decrease program' is started (fanFollowsProgram=1).
From then on, every 5 minutes the current humidity is compared to the
stored target humidity. Basically if that target is reached, the fan is turned off
and the 'program' is ended.
Of course, it is possible that the target is never reached (might start raining outside
or whatever). Then there is a failsafe (FAN_MAX_TIME) after which the ventilator
will be turned off.
 
Also, it will detect if the ventilator is manually switched off during a program
or when it is switched on before the program starts.
 
Along the lines it prints to the log and sends notifications
but of course you can turn that off by removing those lines.

edit: removing and re-adding the variable targetFanOffHumitiy seems to fix te working of the script!

tonumber('12.0') in Lua <= 5.2 returns 12
tonumber('12.0') in Lua >= 5.3 returns 12.0

can you try with this.

Waaren, thanx for your time. but see edit in my previous post.
i fixed the problem bij re-adding the variable in domoticz. (and making it a string)
the scrips works like a charm again!

tonumber('12.0') in Lua <= 5.2 returns 12
tonumber('12.0') in Lua >= 5.3 returns 12.0

I fixed the problem bij re-adding the variable in domoticz. (and making it a string)

Good to read it is solved.
Reason why I replied anyway is that this type of problem might well affect other Lua scripts comparing integers with floats.

[RikkerdNL]

I have searched this topic, but could the script also use FAN_NAME = for a ifttt trigger? I have unflashed sonoff using IFTTT as power switch.

I think I solved it with the solution from post: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 87#p175921 it created a dummy switch that will function with ifttt

Hi,

I tried to control the bathroom fan with Blockly and it just doesn't work. This script works though the fan is turning off way too soon.

I just took a shower and after 2 minutes the fan came on. Then little over 2 minutes later it turned off.

After me my wife went to the shower and the same thing happened, on and 2 minutes later off.

I checked the humidity sensor and it was 92%, is the script not working, did I do something wrong or can I add a backup somewhere that when humidity is above 80% it stays on?

Thanks,

[Jasper79]

Turned on logging and the target is set ot 0 when on.

Also the counter thats set to 24 goes down very fast, I thought that are minutes??

[waaren]

Did you save the script as time triggered?

[Jasper79]

Thanks, that's the part I missed I think.

[robgeisink]

I'm getting these errors (first time use)...what is the problem? or should i let the script be active for some time to retrieve different data?

[Jasper79]

changing the integer to string

So it stays op program 0 and counter keeps going round and reset. so it never switches on, not even when humidity is way above target (67)
And another log writing:

From the commentLines:

If the delta is 3 or higher (see constants) then the fan will be turned on

The start of the Fan is not controlled by the humidity as such but by looking at the delta humidity. Your delta is 0 so Fan will not start.

Manual is old.

Updated the wiki page with a last known working version.

Was looking at a other online version. Thought that was wat he followed according to the error message given.

[Hcroij]

This thing is killing me

Used the latest script from wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Humidity_control
But this time getting the error
script_time_humidity.lua:61: bad argument #1 to 'floor' (number expected, got nil)

Line 61 represents the line in the script
59 -- Function added to overcome compatibility problem between Lua version 5.2 an 5.3
60 local function toInteger(str)
61 return math.floor(str)
62 end


Anyone can offer some help with this ?

[Jasper79]

I think you changed something to "floor" because I don't remember that being in the script?

[Hcroij]

@Jasper
Its in the script.
The Wiki script on line 61 on the waaren script (few posts above) its around line 52 or so.

On wiki it says

-- Function added to overcome compatibility problem between Lua version 5.2 an 5.3
local function toInteger(str)
return math.floor(str)
end
