DZ Vents Light timer Help Please [Solved]

[Tamil112]

Script works,, but after motion is off and motion sensor is triggerd it goes back to the same level as started

i would like it be the same as chosen manually even after a motion trigger

So when it turns on with motion and lux and when a user decide to dim or brighter manually that the level last used level stays on after there is movement with the pir

OK. If I understand correctly what you need... Below should do it. (but untested)

Code: Select all

local PIR = 'PIR'       -- change to name of your PIR
local light = 'light'   -- change to name of your light
local lux = 'lux'   -- change to name of your lux device

return  
{
    on =
    { 
        devices = 
        { 
            PIR,
            light,
        },
    },

    logging =
    {   
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'memorize state', 
    },
    
    data = 
    { 
        lastLevel = { initial = 0 },
    },
    
    execute = function(dz, item)

        local PIR = dz.devices(PIR)
        local light = dz.devices(light)
        local lux = dz.devices(lux).lux
        
        if item == light then 
            if light.active then 
                dz.data.lastLevel = light.level 
            else
                dz.data.lastLevel = 'Off'
            end
            return
        end
        
        if item.active then
            if lux < 30 then 
                light.setLevel(99).silent() 
            end
        elseif tostring(dz.data.lastLevel) == 'Off' then
            light.cancelQueuedCommands()
            light.switchOff().afterSec(300).checkFirst().silent() 
        else
            light.cancelQueuedCommands()
            light.setLevel(dz.data.lastLevel).afterSec(300).silent() 
        end
    end
}

Okay I have tested it.. It works but when motion is trigger after it was off I goes back to the normal dimlevel.. What I want is when the light is on that the script does not change after a new motion..

Motion is on = light dimlevel 60 on lux level
Motion is on = and light is dimlevel and changed manually stay
When motion is off = switch off after x seconds
When motion is on after off = light is on then don't change dimlevel that was changed manually keep dimlevel

Motion is off = and light is switchoff after x seconds
And motion is triggered on set dimlevel 60 on lux level

The testScript I posted should be sufficient to give you a start to try and implement the logic you require. If you tried and run into some code related problems I am happy to assist.

[madpatrick]

I'm trying to rebuild the example script, but still to difficult for me.
May some tip and tricks can support me

This is what i've tried

Code: Select all

local PIR = 'Motion Sensor Burglar'                 -- change to name of your PIR
local light = 'Wnk - Studeerkamer'                  -- change to name of your light
local lux = 'Motion Sensor - Lux'                   -- change to name of your lux device
local sunset  = timeofday['SunsetInMinutes']-30     -- time = sunset time - 30 minutes
local sunrise  = timeofday['SunriseInMinutes']+30   -- time = sunset time + 30 minutes
local Time = require('Time')                        -- current time
local timediff = zononder - Time                    -- time sunset - current time = 0 to trigger switch
local Sleep = '23:15'                               -- after sleep time switch off lamps unless PIR movement and LUX value < xx

return  
{
    on =
    { 
        devices = 
        { 
            PIR,
            light,
        },
    },

    logging =
    {   
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'memorize state', 
    },
    
    data = 
    { 
        lastLevel = { initial = 0 },
    },
    
    execute = function(dz, item)

        local PIR = dz.devices(PIR)
        local light = dz.devices(light)
        local lux = dz.devices(lux).lux
        
        if item == light then 
            if light.active then 
                dz.data.lastLevel = light.level 
            else
                dz.data.lastLevel = 'Off'
            end
            return
        end
        
        if item.active then
            if lux < 100 and timediff = 0 then 
                light.switchOn().silent() 
            end
        elseif tostring(dz.data.lastLevel) == 'Off' then
            light.cancelQueuedCommands()
            light.switchOff().afterSec(300).checkFirst().silent() 
        else
            light.cancelQueuedCommands()
            light.switchoff().afterSec(300).silent() 
        end
    end
}  

The lights must switch on : 'SUNSET" with min LUX
The lights must switch off : after 'SLEEP' with no movement for 5 min

My idea was to calculate the difference in time of SUNSET and SLEEP. When this is 0 this can be used as a trigger.
Unfortunately it gives an error

No need to do the time calculations yourself. The complicated stuff is all done by dzVents internally...

Can you try this

Code: Select all

local PIR = 'Motion Sensor Burglar'                 -- change to name of your PIR
local light = 'Wnk - Studeerkamer'                  -- change to name of your light
local lux = 'Motion Sensor - Lux'                   -- change to name of your lux device
local Sleep = '23:15'                               -- after sleep time switch off lamps unless PIR movement and LUX value < xx
local retrigger = 'Retrigger using customEvent'

return
{
    on =
    {
        timer =
        {
            'at sunset',
            'at ' .. Sleep,
        },
        customEvents =
        {
            retrigger,
        }
    },


    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'light control',
    },

    execute = function(dz)

        local PIR = dz.devices(PIR)
        local light = dz.devices(light)
        local lux = dz.devices(lux).lux

        if dz.time.matchesRule('between sunset and '.. Sleep) then
            if lux < 100 then
                light.switchOn().checkFirst()
            else
                dz.emitEvent(retrigger).afterSec(300) -- try again in 5 min.
            end
        else
            if PIR.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 300 then
                light.switchOff().checkFirst()
            else
                dz.emitEvent(retrigger).afterSec(300)
            end
        end

Hi Waaren

Thanks again for your support

It looksl ike the lamps will not go off after sleep or PIR delay
I've set the time of sleep at an earlier time to let it trigger and the last PIR update was a few hours ago (according to the log)
(when we not at home the light must switch off automaticly, but stay on when are still in the room)

Unfortunately i don't understand the script to much the find it out my self.
Not sure how to enable the logging for you. I've set logging in Domoticz on Debug.
This is the only output:

Code: Select all

2020-10-17 22:05:00.316  Status: dzVents: Info: light control: ------ Start internal script: PIR Woonkamer:, trigger: "at 22:05"

Also i like to trigger the sunset earlier, so i changed it with 'minutesBeforeSunset ' to this

        local light = dz.devices(light)
        local lux = dz.devices(lux).lux

        if dz.time.matchesRule('between minutesBeforeSunset and '.. Sleep) then
            if lux < 100 then
                light.switchOn().checkFirst()
            else
                dz.emitEvent(retrigger).afterSec(300) -- try again in 5 min.
            end
        else
            if PIR.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 300 then
                light.switchOff().checkFirst()

If you don't understand parts of the script then please try to search the wiki and if you still have questions after that feel free to ask here.
You don't have to set the logging in Domoticz to debug. I added some extra lines in the script to show what is going on.

Also i like to trigger the sunset earlier, so i changed it with 'minutesBeforeSunset ' to this

dz.time.matchesRule('between minutesBeforeSunset and '.. Sleep) then

Waaren,

Should the timer event also be changed

Code: Select all

        timer =
        {
            'at sunset',
            'at ' .. Sleep,
        },

in to

Code: Select all

  timer =
        {
            'at '.. minutesBeforeSunset,
            'at ' .. Sleep,
        },

I''ve change the timmer to a fixed time test to the script, but i get an error

Code: Select all

dzVents: Error: (3.0.2) light control: ...ticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/PIR Woonkamer.lua:37: attempt to concatenate a table value (local 'lux')

[waaren]

Should the timer event also be changed

No. If you do that you will get 'at 20' and that does not work. If you want it to trigger on 20 minutes before sunset you should make it something like

Code: Select all

minutesBeforeSunset .. ' minutes before sunset' -- This will be concatenated to 20 minutes before sunset (see the wiki !)

I''ve change the timmer to a fixed time test to the script, but i get an error

You probably left out the first lines of the script (before the first return)

[madpatrick]

Now I understand the timer better on the Wiki.
I think i need to add " 'at .." before minutesBeforeSunset ?

Code: Select all

'at'  .. minutesBeforeSunset .. ' minutes before sunset', -- This will be concatenated to 20 minutes before sunset

.

Not sure what happened, but i lost my configuration settings of the PIR in domoticz.
The sensor is still available, but no config settings.
The only thing i've changed was the lux value
Maybe this give now the error with the lux

Another question.
If you (re)start the script after the triggermoment (minutesBeforeSunset), will the script start or will it wait for the next day ?

according to the WIKI:

Code: Select all

One important note: if Domoticz, for whatever reason, skips a timer event then you may miss the trigger! Therefore, you should build in some fail-safe checks or some redundancy if you have critical time-based stuff to control. There is nothing dzVents can do about it

Dzvents does not look back to see if it missed any scripts because the script-, dzVents=, domoticz- or your system was inactive at the time of the trigger. It will patiently wait until a trigger will become active. If that takes 3 seconds or 3 weeks will make no difference.

The light switched on yesterday evening after i've switch them of earlier

The script is triggered by "sleep" (at 23:00), but this did to put on the lights.
The lux is of course below <20 (trigger point) at night and no lights on.....

Can this be a solution to add a function not to switch if time > sleep ?

Code: Select all

if lux < 20 and dz.time ('before '..Sleep) then

[waaren]

The light switched on yesterday evening after i've switch them of earlier

Can you try again after changing line

Code: Select all

if dz.time.matchesRule('between ' .. minutesBeforeSunset .. ' minutes before sunset and ' .. Sleep) then 

to

Code: Select all

if dz.time.matchesRule('between ' .. minutesBeforeSunset .. ' minutes before sunset and ' .. Sleep) and not(dz.time.matchesRule('at ' .. Sleep)) then 

If stil not OK after this the please use PM and share complete script an loglines

[madpatrick]

Waaren,

The script is running and the test yesterday evening went good.
Just some finetuning within time and lux value

The only point is the logging of LUX and PIR. I've sent this to you via PM

Many thanks for your support

[madpatrick]

Small update:
Logging is now also working
Small typo in the script

This is the correct part of the script for logging

Code: Select all

dz.log(' lux = ' .. lux,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
dz.log(PIR.name .. ' was last updated ' .. PIR.lastUpdate.secondsAgo .. ' seconds ago',dz.LOG_DEBUG)
dz.log(light.name .. ' state is ' .. light.state ,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
