Closing roller shutters under certain conditions

Post by duodiscu92 »

Hi

For many years, my roller shutters (Somfy) have been controlled by Domoticz without any problems. The closing and opening times are programmed into each shutter device. But recently, I was on my balcony and almost got locked out because my shutters closed at the scheduled time. Fortunately, I had time to get out before they were completely down. To prevent this from happening again, I installed a motion detector on the balcony and I want to prevent the shutters from closing if someone is detected on the balcony at the moment of closing and only at that moment. And, of course, any other presence outside of that time should not cause the roller shutter to open. Do you have any ideas on how to manage this? Is it possible using scenes or groups, or do I need to write a script from scratch? Thank you for your help.

It cannot be done with standard timer options so for this particular roller shutter you have to remove the timer and create a small script instead.
