Protection of roller shutter

[Roger1971]

Good morning,

I'm new in this community . i'm using Domoticz for a while now, it runs on a raspberry pi. Domoticz Version 4.10717 (May 9th 2019)

There are always new challenges with this system and i like it very much.

Here is my next challenge, I connected my roller shutter to a ASUN-650 switch and this works fine.
However, when the door is open and the roller shutter closes it is blocked by the door and the roller shutter get's dammaged.
I bought a "aeotec recessed door sensor gen 5" and i'm trying to make a scene with blockly to avoid roller shutter movement while the door is open.
I can't seem to get that working.........

Is it possible to make a scene in blockly to prevent that the roller shutter start's closing when the door is open ?

Maybe someone had the same challenge and found a sollution for this.

Kind regards,

Roger

Hello Roger,

You might try to solve this using DzVents (see script below). It is really easy to use. Don't forget to enable DzVents in your settings tab.

Code: Select all

return {
	on = 	{
		devices = { 'Switch' }  --Replace Switch by the name of your switch that controls the roller shutter in Domotics
		},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    if (device.state == 'On') then
            if (domoticz.devices('Doorcontact') == 'Closed') then  -- Replace Doorcontact by the name of your Aeotec recessed door sensor gen 5 in Domotics
                domoticz.devices('RollerShutter').switchOn() --Replace RollerShutter by the name of your rollershutter in Domoticz
            end
        else
            domoticz.devices('RollerShutter').switchOff()  --Replace RollerShutter by the name of your rollershutter in Domoticz
        end
    end
}

Hi,

I used this script but without any luck.
It looks like it blocked the operation of the shutter all the time with no difference if the window sensor is on open or on closed.
Can you please help me out on this?

It looks like it blocked the operation of the shutter all the time with no difference if the window sensor is on open or on closed.

Can you show the script you used and the log it produced.

return {
	on = 	{
		devices = { 'Rolluik Woonkamer Achter' }  --Replace Switch by the name of your switch that controls the roller shutter in Domotics
		},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    if (device.state == 'On') then
            if (domoticz.devices('Raam Sensor') == 'Closed') then  -- Replace Doorcontact by the name of your Aeotec recessed door sensor gen 5 in Domotics
                domoticz.devices('Rolluik Woonkamer Achter').switchOn() --Replace RollerShutter by the name of your rollershutter in Domoticz
            end
        else
            domoticz.devices('Rolluik Woonkamer Achter').switchOff()  --Replace RollerShutter by the name of your rollershutter in Domoticz

    end
}

Code: Select all

	devices = { 'Rolluik Woonkamer Achter' }  --Replace Switch by the name of your switch that controls the roller shutter in Domotics

This code will never work as expected because the script trigger is the blind itself. The script trigger should be a timer or a virtual switch or something else but not the blind. If you schanged that use below script as it will give some additional information what it does and why.

Code: Select all

return 
{
	on = 	
	{
		devices = 
		{ 
			'Switch' ,  --Replace Switch by the name of your switch that controls the roller shutter in Domotics
		}, 
	},
	
	logging =
	{
		level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
		marker = 'rolluik', 
	},
	
	execute = function(dz, item)
		local sensor = dz.device('Raam Sensor')
		
		dz.log('State of ' .. item.name ..   ' is:  ' .. item.state, dz.LOG_DEBUG)
		dz.log('State of ' .. sensor.name .. ' is:  ' .. sensor.state, dz.LOG_DEBUG)
	
	    if item.state == 'On' then
            if (dz.devices('Raam Sensor') == 'Closed') then  -- Replace Doorcontact by the name of your Aeotec recessed door sensor gen 5 in Domotics
                dz.devices('Rolluik Woonkamer Achter').switchOn() --Replace RollerShutter by the name of your rollershutter in dz
            end
        else
            dz.devices('Rolluik Woonkamer Achter').switchOff()  --Replace RollerShutter by the name of your rollershutter in dz
        end
    end
}

Hello Waaren,

I was looking at this script and like to use it, but using a dummy switch is difficult.
In the Somfy app you can control the shutters, but of course the Domoticz are not visible.

The shutter can also be control with a level 0-100%
Is it possible to use Shutter as trigger and if the door/windows is open it goed to 5% and else to 100% ?

Appreciate your help

I've tried the Setlevel, but that gives an error

    end
}

Found the command to set the correct level

Code: Select all

.dimTo(70)

Only the responce time is verly log.
When i activate the shutter it take more then 5 seconds before the other command gets activated.

Hi,

I need some help to extend the script.

This is my current script any it is working fine.

Code: Select all

local scriptVersion         = 'Versie 1.0'
local scriptVar             = '-=# Screens Blok 2 #=-'
local Erker3                = 501          -- 'Somfy - Erker_3'
local Erker4                = 499          -- 'Somfy - Erker_4'           
local Erker5                = 497          -- 'Somfy - Erker_5'   

return {
	on = 	{
		devices = {494}
		},
		        logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
                marker      = scriptVar },
       	        
	execute = function(dz, device)
	    
	    local Erker3     = dz.devices(Erker3) 
	    local Erker4     = dz.devices(Erker4)  
	    local Erker5     = dz.devices(Erker5) 
	    
	    if (device.state == 'Open') then
            Erker3.switchOn()
            Erker4.switchOn().afterSec(0.5)
            Erker5.switchOn().afterSec(1)
            dz.log('Screens Erker blok 2 helemaal Open', dz.LOG_FORCE)
            
        elseif (device.state == 'Dicht') then
            Erker3.switchOff() 
            Erker4.switchOff().afterSec(0.5) 
            Erker5.switchOff().afterSec(1)
            dz.log('Screens Erker blok 2 helemaal dicht' , dz.LOG_FORCE)
        end
    end
}

I'm using 1 dummy switch to control 3 shutters

Sometime I control 1 shutter and later another one, depeniding on the sun/weather
The only issue is when you close or open the shutter seperatly, the dummy switch is not updated.
Is it possible when all 3 shutters has been operated seperatly, the dummy switch is corrected to this situation ? Without operating the blinds ?

A reply on my own question.
I have tried this script, but i doesn't work unfortunately

Code: Select all

local scriptVersion         = 'Versie 1.0 '
local scriptVar             = '-=# Screens test #=-'
local Erker1                = 496  -- 'Somfy - Erker_1' 
local Erker2                = 500  -- 'Somfy - Erker_2' 
local dummy_blok1           = 493 

return {
	on = 	{
		devices = {496,500}
		},
		
		        logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
                marker      = scriptVar },
       	        
	execute = function(dz, device)
	   local delay          = 30
	   local Erker1         = dz.devices(Erker1) 
	   local Erker2         = dz.devices(Erker2)
	   local dummy_blok1    = dz.devices(dummy_blok1) 
	    
	    
if Erker1.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > delay then	    
        if Erker1.state == 'Open' and Erker2.state == 'Open' then
                dummy_blok1.switchSelector(0).checkFirst().silent()
                dz.log(' Dummy switch update to OPEN',dz.LOG_FORCE)
        elseif Erker1.state == 'Dicht' and Erker2.state == 'Dicht' then
                dummy_blok1.switchSelector(0).checkFirst().silent()
                dz.log(' Dummy switch update to DICHT',dz.LOG_FORCE)
        else
                dz.log(' Dummy switch status unchanged',dz.LOG_FORCE)
            end
    end
end
}

Because of the time top close or open the screens i've setup a delay of 30sec before it must check the status.
This is not working. The check is done directly.

Also the switchselector change doesn't work.

Appreciate any feedback

To further investigate you could extent the log level an add some loglines. It might also help identifying the issue(s) if you describe what you expect vs to what you see.

[madpatrick]

The first issue i'm facing is the delay.
Because the delay is not working the status of the switch is not (yet) correct. It takes time before the screens are down and the status is upate.
Now when i activate the screen the script runs and i see the message " Dummy switch status unchanged" in the log almost directly
