As long motion detected, only write once a minute to log

[BarryT]

Hi, sorry for asking this but i couldnt find an answer for this on the forum.
i'm using a lot of motion script (if motion == on, turn lamp == on) and with a print to the log (motion detected in room x).
now, what i want is:
if motion detected it has to turn on the light and do a print only once a 60 or 120 seconds to the log.
what is does now is it writes to the log every couple seconds as long as we are in the room and there is motion.
i need this for the print output only.
is this possible?
thanks!

example:

Code: Select all

this is my script to turn on @motion:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if 
        devicechanged['BewegingBadkamer'] == 'On' -- and otherdevices['Het is Donker'] == 'On' 
then
        commandArray[#commandArray+1] = {['LampBadkamer-RFX'] ='Set Level 83' }
        print('Verlichting badkamer AAN')
end
return commandArray

if you port this to dzVents you can use the data section to store the last time you printed the message,
and if too long ago reprint

Code: Select all

return
{
	on =
	{
		timer = {'every 5 minutes'}
	},
	data =
	{
		previousHumidity = { initial = 100 }
	},
	execute = function(domoticz)
		local bathroomSensor = domoticz.devices('BathroomSensor')
		if (bathroomSensor.humidity - domoticz.data.previousHumidity) >= 5 then
			-- there was a significant rise
			domoticz.devices('Ventilator').switchOn()
		end
		-- store current value for next cycle
		domoticz.data.previousHumidity = bathroomSensor.humidity
	end
}
