Previously I have been using exclusively ESPEasy, supported by NodeRed, Grafana, and Blynk. I am beginning my journey towards a Raspberry Pi based system and have chosen Domoticz as my 'Home Automation' platform. But to be honest, my needs are relative modest, so saying home automation platform is really overkill.
So... my conundrum... how to migrate from the ESPEasy 'rules' based programming to Domoticz dzVents or LUA? I must confess I am no programmer, but have managed to muddle my way through the ESPEasy rules setup. So I am here looking for some tips, hints, and ideas for essentially consolidating the 2 x ESPEasy platforms to a single Raspberry Pi running Domoticz.
Here's my setup...
I have a small room that contains a rack of computer servers etc (yes I work in ICT) and on cooler days sucking air from the outside keeps the room cool. And on hot days I close a damper and the first ESPEasy turns on the air conditioner in the room via an infrared LED.
ESPEasy unit 1 - has 2 x 1 wire temperature sensors and a Infrared LED transmitter connected to a ESP 8266 NodeMCU. Temp sensor 1 monitors the inside temp and Temp sensor 2 monitors the outside.
ESPEasy unit 2 - has 2 relays connected to the ESP 8266 NodeMCU. Relay 1 opens and closes a damper to the outside world, and relay 2 turns a fan on and off.
Here's the ESPEasy Rules code...

Ok, that's it. Any help guidance greatly appreciated. If I've not been clear enough with my description then please ask me more questions.
I really hope someone on here has a similar setup, and can provide examples on the dzVents or LUA setup they used?
Thanks, Mark
Sorry...
