Flashing lights, howto?

Post by rgroothuis »

I've the following script that is triggered when the doorbell is pressed.
I want the lights to go on and off 5 times but I cannot get this working.
On top of this the current status of the lamp needs to be saved so that I can but the light back on or off again after the flashing is completed.
This is my script, what am I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

return {
 	logging = {
 		level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
 		marker = 'ControlDeurBel'
 	},
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Deurbel Input 1'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)

        -- If the Doorbell is pressed, take action and ring the bell. 
		if (device.name == 'Deurbel Input 1') and (device.state == 'On') then
		    local deurBelOut = domoticz.devices('Deurbel Output 2')
        
            -- Log information to the debug window
            domoticz.log('Doorbell was pressed, lets ring the bell!', domoticz.LOG_INFO)

            -- Send a message to Telegram that the doorbell was pressed.
            local DateTimePressed = os.date("%d/%m/%Y %X")
        	domoticz.notify("HoekHuis Deurbel", "Doorbell was pressed at " .. DateTimePressed .. ".", domoticz.PRIORITY_HIGH)

            -- Enable the doorbell, smart implant output.
            -- Smart implant is configured to switch off the output automatically.
        	deurBelOut.switchOn()
        	
        	-- Enable the gang door light
		    local VoorDeurLight = domoticz.devices('Lamp Hal Voordeur')
		    domoticz.log('Switch on the gang front door lamp.', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        	VoorDeurLight.switchOn()
        	VoorDeurLight.switchOff().afterSec(10)

        	-- Switch On and Off the Kitchen light
		    local KeukenLamp = domoticz.devices('Keuken Lamp')
		  
		    KeukenLamp.cancelQueuedCommands()
		  
		    -- Save the status of the keuken Lamp to put it back to this status later
		    local KeukenLampStatus = KeukenLamp.state 
		    domoticz.log('Keuken lamp status: ' .. KeukenLampStatus .. '.', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
		    -- Flash the kitchen lamp a couple of times
		    KeukenLamp.switchOn().forSec(1).repeatAfterSec(1, 5)

		    domoticz.log('Keuken lamp was flashed a number of times.', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)

            if (KeukenLampStatus == 'On') then
                domoticz.log('Switch keuken lamp on again.', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
                KeukenLamp.switchOn().afterMin(1)
            else
                domoticz.log('Switch keuken lamp off again.', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
                KeukenLamp.switchOff().afterMin(1)
            end
        end
	
	end
}
The log that is generated is as follow:

this works for me

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'DoorBell'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    if (domoticz.devices('DoorBell').state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('SomeoneHome').state == 'On')
	    then
	        if domoticz.devices('Staande driehoek lamp').state == 'Off' 
	        then
    	        domoticz.devices('Staande driehoek lamp').switchOn().forSec(1).repeatAfterSec(1, 3)  -- repeat=(aftersec, nroftimes)
    	        domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was engaged while lamp was off', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		    else
		        domoticz.devices('Staande driehoek lamp').switchOff().forSec(1).repeatAfterSec(1, 3) -- repeat=(aftersec, nroftimes)
		        domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was engaged while lamp was on', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		    end
		    --domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was engaged', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		end
	    if domoticz.devices('DoorBell').state == 'On'
	    then

If you use forSec() the before state is significant

Can you try this and if not OK yet, please describe what you expect and what is not working like expected.

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'Deurbel Input 1'
        }
    },

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

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local deurBelOut = dz.devices('Deurbel Output 2')
        local VoorDeurLight = dz.devices('Lamp Hal Voordeur')
        local KeukenLamp = dz.devices('Keuken Lamp')

        -- If the Doorbell is pressed, take action and ring the bell.
        if item.name == 'Deurbel Input 1' and item.active then

            -- Log information to the debug window
            dz.log('Doorbell was pressed, lets ring the bell!', dz.LOG_INFO)

            -- Send a message to Telegram that the doorbell was pressed.
            local DateTimePressed = os.date("%d/%m/%Y %X")
            dz.notify("HoekHuis Deurbel", "Doorbell was pressed at " .. DateTimePressed .. ".", dz.PRIORITY_HIGH)

            -- Enable the doorbell, smart implant output.
            -- Smart implant is configured to switch off the output automatically.
            deurBelOut.switchOn()

            -- Enable the gang door light
            dz.log('Switch on the gang front door lamp.', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            VoorDeurLight.switchOn()
            VoorDeurLight.switchOff().afterSec(10)

          -- Save the status of the keuken Lamp to put it back to this status later
            local KeukenLampStatus = KeukenLamp.state
            dz.log('Keuken lamp status: ' .. KeukenLampStatus .. '.', dz.LOG_DEBUG)

            -- Flash the kitchen lamp a couple of times
            if KeukenLamp.active then
                KeukenLamp.switchOff().forSec(1).repeatAfterSec(1, 5)
            else
                KeukenLamp.switchOn().forSec(1).repeatAfterSec(1, 5)
            end

            dz.log('Keuken lamp was flashed a number of times.', dz.LOG_DEBUG)

            if (KeukenLampStatus == 'On') then
                dz.log('Switch keuken lamp on again.', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
                KeukenLamp.switchOn().afterMin(1)
            else
                dz.log('Switch keuken lamp off again.', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
                KeukenLamp.switchOff().afterMin(1)
            end
        end
    end

Excellent, this trick worked for me. Thanks for the support.
