check for multiple timer triggers

[Gravityz]

Hello,
i want to check for multiple timer triggers and based on the trigger time i want to execute something.
i tried several things but it does not seem to work
either the timer triggers are wrong or the check.
it did a compare with both 'at 21:00' as well as '21:00' but none of them work so i suspect the timer definition is wrong.

i want to check several times during the period of 01/05 until 09/09
can somebody help me out

timer definition

Code: Select all

timer = {'on 01/05-09/09 at 06:00, at 12:00, at 21:00'},

check

Code: Select all

execute = function(domoticz,event)
if event.isTimer and event.trigger == 'at 21:00'  then
        -- execute some code
    end

Perhaps just log the trigger to see what you have to check against. I never used these kind of checka so no idea what the value really is. Be aware that you set a test trigger minimum 2 minutes away to be sure the trigger is registered.

Code: Select all

execute = function(domoticz,event)
if event.isTimer  then
       domoticz.log('trigger: ' .. event.trigger)
    end

i discovered the following

Works

Code: Select all

timer = {'on 01/05-09/09 at 07:00'},

does not work

Code: Select all

timer = {'on 01/05-09/09 at 07:00, at 08:00'},

works

Code: Select all

timer = {'on 01/05-09/09 at 07:00','on 01/05-09/09 at 13:00', 'on 01/05-09/09 at 21:30'},

so it seems you can do a timer with date and time but if you have multiple times you need to add the date part to every time.

also the event.trigger also includes the date part and will be 'on 01/05-09/09 at 21:30'

so for now working but i would have thought 1 date with multiple times would be more readable/logical

execute = function(domoticz, item)

if (item.isTimer) then ... - working for me

[Gravityz]

that is not the problem.
the problem isa based on different timers execute different code

execute = function(domoticz, item)

if (item.isTimer) then ... - working for me

[habahabahaba]

oh..
So try
if domoticz.time.matchesRule('on 01/05-09/09 at 06:50-07:05') then ...

Or did I misunderstand you again?

[Gravityz]

that will probably work but i want mutliple specific times, not a timeframe

so using your example i want

Code: Select all

if domoticz.time.matchesRule('on 01/05-09/09 at 06:50, at 07:05') then ...

this does not seem to work

i can only make it work if i add the dateframe to every time

maybe this is by design

'01/05-09/09 at 07:00 or at 08:00 or at 09:00'
as a variant

[Gravityz]

thanks, will test

'01/05-09/09 at 07:00 or at 08:00 or at 09:00'
as a variant

So you have 2 issues:
1. Getting multiple timer triggers working in the on section. But you are getting there I read above....
2. A check which timer trigger is triggered. Did you log the timer event.trigger already?

[Gravityz]

tried it but that example does not work either

this works

Code: Select all

timer = {'on 01/05-09/09 at 07:00','on 01/05-09/09 at 13:00', 'on 01/05-09/09 at 21:30'},

the trigger logged is
on 01/05-09/09 at 07:00

this works

Code: Select all

timer = {'on 01/05-09/09 at 07:00'},

the trigger logged is
at 07:00

the other examples doe not work and nothing is logged.

so for now i am good to go
