.afterSec(xx) not working? :(

[BarryT]

hi all,

can somebody help me out why my delay does not work?
i'm trying to make a heating script with zones, a buffertank with pump and an weather temperature based heatpump with an on/off input.
the rest of the scripts works (with thermostats, heatcommand to heatpump and opening the valves,
but i want to have my tankpump to have a delay of 3 minutes before it goes ON due opening of the valves that takes some minutes before they are open...

This code

Code: Select all

local heating if hp.heater ~= nil then heating = dz.devices(hp.heater) end 

works correctly but does not have any delay. when one of the valves has turned ON the pump is also going ON directly.

The next code does NOT work

Code: Select all

local Delay = 30
local heating if hp.heater ~= nil then heating = dz.devices(t.heater).afterSec(Delay) end

I was hoping this would do the trick, but then i'm getting an error:

Code: Select all

 attempt to call a nil value (field 'afterSec')

Why does this delay not work?

Many thanks!

Hi
I use

Code: Select all

local Delay = 30
local heating if hp.heater ~= nil then heating = dz.devices(t.heater).switchOff().afterSec(Delay) end

AfterSec() is a command option so should be used in combination with a supported command like .switchOn() .switchOff() etc

In the wiki there is a general availability table https://wiki.domoticz.com/DzVents:_next ... ailability

Also per device command it is noted in the wiki if it supports by command options.

Ahh i see, so thats why it doesnt work..
Any idea to get it working?
Thanks!

Use something like
domoticz.devices('tankpump').switchOn().afterMin(3)
