dzVents script shows strange behavior

[Fredom]

Dear members
The script below has always worked fine, but it stopped working a week ago.
The script only switches On both during the day and at night.
When I switch the lines nighttime and daytime, the script only switches Off.
How is this possible? Restoring from a backup didn't help either.

Code: Select all

--isDonker (Dummy switch) dzVentz
--Nighttime dummy switch is on (check every xx minutes)
--Daytime dummy switch is off (check every xx minutes)
--After a power failure or reset the dummy always comes back in the right position

return 
{
	active = true,
	
	on = {
		timer = {
         'every 2 minutes at daytime',
         'every 2 minutes at nighttime'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device, triggerInfo)
	    local donker = domoticz.devices('isDonker')
                        
	    if (triggerInfo.trigger == 'every 2 minutes at nighttime')
	    then
		    donker.switchOn().checkFirst()		 
		    domoticz.log('isDonker device is switched ON by dzVentz scripts TRIGGER 1');
		elseif (triggerInfo.trigger == 'every 2 minutes at daytime')
		then
		    donker.switchOff().checkFirst()
		    domoticz.log('isDonker device is switched OFF by dzVentz scripts TRIGGER 2');
	end
end
}

None of the members who can solve this problem for me??

Did you upgrade? On what version of Domoticz are you now? Still on 2020.2 as your profile is saying?

Thanks for your response.
Domoticz 2021-1 runs on a Rapberry pi 3b.
Nothing has been changed in the script or in any other configuration.
A week ago this script suddenly showed this behavior

Was that before or after the update to 2021.1 ?

Can you have a look at this one ?

        local isDark = astroSwitch.state == 'On'
        local isLight = not(isDark)

        if dz.time.isNightTime and isDark  then
            astroSwitch.switchOn()
            dz.log('isDonker device is switched ON by dzVents scripts TRIGGER 1' , dz.LOG_DEBUG)

        dz.utils.dumpTable(dz.time)

Hi Waaren,
This is indeed after the Domoticz update. I think this script still worked after that, but I'm not sure.
Unfortunately your proposal script doesn't work either. If I manually turn on the isDark switch, it stays on and won't turn off.

Hi Waaren,
I tested the script with a backup of domoticz 20.2 and there it works as intended.
It also works well when I switch the lines between daytime and nighttime.
So it has indeed to do with the new update of domoticz. Can this still be solved?

Fixed in 2021.1 - build 13192

Hi Waaren,
Thanks for the tip.
The problem is solved.
