Time function is not executed

[Backbone]

I wrote a script for a thermostat that worked fine for 6 months.
Suddenly the time function is not executed anymore.
Nothing to be shown in the log when a time period is activated.

Only when I manually trigger the object where this timer is residing in from OFF to Normaal or vice versa it changes and the log reports the status change.

Simpel code...........

Code: Select all

if  dz.time.matchesRule('at 00:00-05:44') then
dz.devices(74).updateText ('00:00-05:44 @ 16.5 C - preset')
dz.log ('It works')
end

It must be simple as the script ran flawless and I did not change the code.
I cant remember Domoticz has been updated and this is the result.

Full code.........

Code: Select all

return

What Domoticz version are you currently on (see menu Setup - About)

[waltervl]

For me it works.
I modified your simple code to get it to work on evenings

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		timer = {
			'every minute',
		}
	},
	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
		marker = 'timertest',
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, timer)
	  domoticz.log('Timer event was triggered by ' .. timer.trigger .. 'at time : ' .. domoticz.time.raw, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	  if  domoticz.time.matchesRule('at 00:00-18:44') then
               -- dz.devices(74).updateText ('00:00-17:44 @ 16.5 C - preset')
               domoticz.log ('It works at time :'.. domoticz.time.raw)
           end
	end
}

Then in the log I see this:

Code: Select all

2025-04-30 18:43:00.069 dzVents: timertest: Timer event was triggered by every minuteat time : 2025-4-30 18:43:0.45
2025-04-30 18:43:00.069 dzVents: timertest: It works at time :2025-4-30 18:43:0.45

And after 18:44 i do not get the "It works" log entry as expected.

Perhaps something off with your time on your server?

Hello Walter,

Thanks for testing, so it must be in my setup.

Domoticz:
Version: 2024.7
Build Hash: b317cfab1
Compile Date: 2024-07-13 16:59:31
dzVents Version: 3.1.8
Python Version: 3.9.2 (default, Mar 12 2021, 04:06:34) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110]
Active User: admin

I thought about the summer/winter time but then it would give a 1 hour difference only.

I run domoticz on a Pi. No idea where to check the time you refer at.

put your code in and that works. I get the logs.

Code: Select all

2025-05-01 06:53:00.179 dzVents: timertest: Timer event was triggered by every minuteat time : 2025-5-1 6:53:0.52
2025-05-01 06:53:00.179 dzVents: timertest: It works at time :2025-5-1 6:53:0.52

But the trigger is on every minute.

My original trigger is

Code: Select all

    on =
    {
        devices = {'Thermostaat', 'CV_Brander', 'Temp_Kamer','Setpoint_Normaal','Setpoint_Boost','Setpoint_Boost_Tijd' },
    },

    execute = function(dz)

It worked before.
Is my assumption of how DZ works wrong?

[waltervl]

In your case whenever one of the mentioned triggered devices is changed (by the integration or by the user interface or other scripts) the main script will run.
So if you do not see the script running at all then something has changed in changing the devices.
Also dzvents likes unique device names, so for example no 2 different devices with the same name "Thermostaat"
