What is the difference between on and group on

[jimbou]

Hello,

am using domoticz on a Raspberry with a RFXCOM 433 Mhz.

I have developped a small script which switches on/off the bathroom mirror heating according to the room humidity to avoid steam.

When I look at the switch log in text format, I see strange things :

Code: Select all

2024-09-22 17:00:27  On               EventSystem//home/jeannot/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_device_desembuage.lua
2024-09-22 14:23:28  Off              EventSystem//home/jeannot/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_device_desembuage.lua
2024-09-22 14:23:11  Group Off	      RFXCOM
2024-09-22 14:23:10  Group Off	      RFXCOM
2024-09-22 14:23:09  Group Off	      RFXCOM
2024-09-22 09:54:40  Off   	      EventSystem//home/jeannot/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_device_desembuage.lua
2024-09-22 09:54:03  On	              RFXCOM
2024-09-22 09:53:57  Off	      EventSystem//home/jeannot/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_device_desembuage.lua
2024-09-22 09:53:32  Group On         RFXCOM
2024-09-22 09:53:24  Group On         RFXCOM
2024-09-22 09:53:23  Group On         RFXCOM
2024-09-22 09:53:22  Group On         RFXCOM
2024-09-22 09:53:18  Group On	      RFXCOM

I see on and off commands as well as group on and group off commands

And I see that some commands originate from my script (EventSystem//...), but others seem to originate from the RFXCOM device and are repeated at a much higher rate (every second).

Does anyone understand what is all this ?

Well the RFXCOM identifier corresponds to the manual activation of the switch using its own remote control.

My grand child has found the remote in a box and has plaied a little bit with it.

So the remaining question is : what those group on and group off mean. I have no scene defined. The switch is part of a roomplan, but is that a group ?
