On for 240 min does not work

[Pierre1958]

Hi,

I wrote a Blocky script to switch on/off my e-bike charger.

When I manual switch it on it has to be off after 4 hours (240 min)

E-bikeLader and E-bikeLader1 is a dummy switch, FietsLaders is the switch.

When I use 5 or 30 or 60 minutes it works fine but with 240 minutes blocky does not switch off after 240 minutes.

Can someone help me if I do somthings wrong or is this a bug in 2021.1 build 13.222

Try to use,
IF E-bikelader = ON
SET E-bikelader = OFF after 14400 seconds

I use this 3 hours blockly (10800 sec.) for years now.

@Treve thank you for yuour responce.

I changed the blokly but after 4 1/2 hour it was still on.

I changed the name E-bikeLader to FietsLaders because E-bikeLader is a dummy and FietsLaders is the switch.

Doesn't it do a "set FietsLaders Off after 14400" each minute making it never switch off? (I am not too familiar with Blockly as I prefer coding it in LUA. )

This is my blockly which works like a charm on Version: 4.11474.

This is the logfile as proof it works.

I use a Neo CoolcamZWave wall plug device with on/off switch on the device.
When push the on/off button, the switch go off after three hours.

I think that’s the problem.

I am desperate.
I've reset domoticz to 4.10717 stable and it still doesn't work.
I can switch up to 1 hour, anything above an hour the switch just won't turn off.
I have this installed on Ubuntu Server 18.04.5, could Ubuntu play a part in this?

In 4.10717 I have only one new switch installed.

Try removing the lines that test for the Sunday time as those make this script a Time script, which means it will run each minute.
So just try the top part as shown in this post without anything else in it:

@ JVDZ

I already did it.

In settings the timeout sensors were set to 60 min, I set this to 300 min.
I just restarted the timer and will see if it turns off in 2 hours.

Guess you mean to say 120 minutes as 300min = 5 hours!

You have also set the Trigger field to "Device" !?

[Pierre1958]

Setting the senor timeout value to 300 min didn't help.

@JVDZ
What do you mean by set the Trigger field to "Device"?
Is it a must to set a time here?

Whatever I do the timer works for up to 60 minutes. Within this time it switches off correctly.
If I now want to extend the switch-off time to, for example, 120 minutes, it will NOT switch off anymore.
It seems like there is a 60 minute timer block on somewhere or Domoticz restarts after 60 minutes and Blockly doesn't remember its turn on time or even Blockly stops altogether.

I think @jvdz is referring to the Blockly Triggers: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Blockly#Triggers
If you want to trigger on a device change as in your case you should use the device Trigger (pull down menu in Edit Blockly Events page). Default it is set to "All" so every minute it will run and (re)set the delay.


A total different approach would be to use the Off Delay in Device Edit form: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Managing_ ... _Off_Delay

The Off delay on a switch device causes a device to switch Off with a delay of the set amount of seconds after the device switched to On.

(note that is differnt than the off delay in a Scene or Group: The Off delay on switch device in a Group/Scene causes a device to switch Off with a delay of the set amount of seconds after the switchOff command is given. )

[Pierre1958]

Sorry, I set the trigger to DEVICE but somehow blockly doesn't switch at a time setting of more than 60 minutes, less then 60 minutes it works perfect.
Why exactly 60 minutes?

[Pierre1958]

SOLVED

I have installed a clean new Ubuntu version.
The timer problem has been solved with this, even a timer setting of 4 hours now works perfectly.
