Enable disable gate power supply based on vehicle position

Post by psubiaco »

I love LUA scripting: with a small piece of code it's possible to reduce energy consumption and improve antitheft security.
The script is available at https://github.com/CreasolTech/domoticz_lua_scripts

The script checks the vehicle distance and compare with previous distance to determine if vehicle is approaching or moving away, and use this data to enable/disable gate power supply. As the gate circuitry normally consumes 6-10W, in this way it's possible to save more than 40kWh/year, 400kWh in 10 years!
The burglar alarm system in Domoticz already turns gate power supply OFF when alarm level is NIGHT and AWAY, to prevent thieves from opening the gate
