turning an lamp slowly on

[janjansen]

Hi everybody
I want to switch on a lamp very slowly at 6:30 in the morning, and by that I mean that it starts at 1 percent and then burns at about 90 percent after 10 minutes.
I've tried a lot but nothing works for me.
Below I have posted the program I have now written to give you an idea of ​​what I mean.
("Jan wakkerworden" is an dummy switch that goes on at 6:30.)

thanks in advance,
Jan

For a dzvents script you can check this topic https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33412

Don't use the sleep inside a script!
If you want a light to be 100% in 10 minutes, I suggest to call a script every minute
script_time_turnOnLight.lua
so if time>=6:30 and current dimmer value <100%, set dimmer to current value + 10%

i think this would work

If you have Zigbee light bulbs then most of those bulb support "transition"
In a dzVents script you set transition to 60 and when you turn the lamp on it goes from 0% to whatever you have set to On position in 60 seconds.
So in dzVents only 2 commands to get it done.

When nothing works for you, you maybe do not mind that I created something in dzVents.

I think this goes in the direction of what you want?
Adapted from my t_airplanes script,where I wanted an action every xx seconds.

1. triggers on a change of your 'Jan Wakkerworden' device.
2. Checks if it is on.
3. loops from 1 to 600 seconds = 10 minutes. Schedules it with 100 steps of 6 second interval.
4. Every time sets the level 1 higher. So should end up at 100% if I am right.

NB. untested.

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Jan Wakkerworden',
		},
	},

    logging = {
	    -- Level can be domoticz.LOG_INFO, domoicz.LOG_MODULE_EXEC_INFO, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, domoticz.LOG_ERROR or domoticz.LOG_FORCE
        --level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = "SlowLampIncrease-"
	},
	execute = function(  dz, triggeredItem )
	
		if ( triggeredItem.state == 'On' ) then
		local loopCounter = 0
            --Turn on hanglamp slowly
            --10 minutes = 600 seconds. So from 1 to 600 step 6 seconds.
            for seconds = 1, 600, 6 do
                --increase loopCounter
                loopCounter = loopCounter + 1
                dz.log( 'Increase level to ' .. loopCounter, dz.LOG_DEBUG)
                -- increase dimlevel.
                dz.devices('Jan hanglamp').dimTo(loopCounter).afterSec(seconds)  -- Set yourlevel 1 step higher.
            end
		end	
	end
}
-- That's All --------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Changed the loopCounter. Made little mistake. It should start with 0 always and does not have to be in persistant data, because it goes in one run.

PS. Your while with sleep wil not work anyway, because the script can not run for more than 10 seconds.
