help needed with delaying trigger [Solved]

[jenski]

..sorry, I'm probably staring at it to long..

I'm searching for something to delay the initial trigger.
.cancelQueuedCommands() seems like a solution but it only seems to work for switch commands

Code: Select all

if ( device(1) == on ) --[i]for more then 20 sec[/i] 
then 
  device(2).switchOn().checkFirst().afterSec(30)
  domoticz.email("blabla"..).afterMin(2)
elseif ( device(1) == off )
then 
device(2).cancelQueuedCommands()
domoticz.email("blabla"..).cancelQueuedCommands()

Am I correct in assuming .cancelQueuedCommands() does not work on email and notifications?

Can you describe in a bit more words what you try to achieve.
Also.. your profile states you are on stable. Is that 2020.2 ?

Yes

I am messing around with zwave smoke detectors and I'm trying to catch false triggers. I don't know why but every once in a while these devices fail to report in time I guess and this would then falsely trigger the alarm. But firing a trigger and then do the check feels wrong.
Blocky does allow for .setOnAfter(20 sec) apparently... and so:

With this you can differentiate between email txt's. ..the roof, the roof is on fire!!..

This solution also works for door-contact/burglar alarms, in the case of kicking the annoying cat out the door in the middle of the night.

Something to play with?

Code: Select all

local scriptVar = 'delayed Alarm'

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'rookmelder*', 'Carbon*',
        },

        customEvents = {
            scriptVar,
        }
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = scriptVar,
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local delay = 20 -- default (can be overided in messages table)
        local mail = '[email protected]' -- default (can be overided in messages table)
        
        local messages =
        {
            ['rookmelder 1.2 - keuken'] = { delay = 30, subject = 'brand alarm keuken', message = 'het alarm (voor brandmelding in de keuken) gaat af' },
            ['rookmelder 2.2 - zolder'] = { subject = 'brand alarm zolder', message = 'het alarm (voor de brandmelding op zolder) gaat af'},
            ['rookmelder 3.2 - schuur'] = { subject = 'brand alarm schuur', message = 'het alarm (voor de brandmelding in de schuur) gaat af', mail = '[email protected]' },
            ['Carbon Monoxide'] = { delay = 1, subject = 'CO alarm zolder', message = 'het alarm (voor een CO melding op zolder) gaat af' },
        }

        if item.isDevice then
            if item.active then
                local t = messages[item.name]
                local delay = t.delay or delay
                local mail = t.mail or mail

                dz.email(t.subject, t.message .. ' over ' .. delay .. ' seconden.', mail )
                dz.log( t.message .. ' over ' .. delay  .. ' seconden.', dz.LOG_FORCE )
                dz.emitEvent(scriptVar, { device = { name = item.name, idx = item.idx, at = { dDate = dz.time.dDate, rawTime = dz.time.rawTime }}} ).afterSec(delay)
            end
        else
            local dv = item.json.device
            local sensor = dz.devices(dv.idx)
            local alarm = dz.devices('Alarmsituatie')

            if sensor.lastUpdate.dDate == dv.at.dDate then -->> no new updates to alarm
                local t = messages[dv.name]
                local mail = t.mail or mail

                dz.email(t.subject, t.message .. '. De melding is actief sinds ' .. dv.at.rawTime, mail  )
                dz.log('Alarm ' .. t.message .. '. De melding is actief sinds ' .. dv.at.rawTime, dz.LOG_DEBUG )
                alarm.switchOn()
            else
                dz.log('Alarm ' .. dv.name .. ' has been updated between since ' .. dv.at.rawTime, dz.LOG_DEBUG ) -- >> no further action
            end
        end
    end
}
