Remember light switches state

[Slinkos]

Hi all, I was thinking a new scenario for my Domoticz. When I am under the shower for example, there is no need for all the lights to be on downstairs. So what I want is that when I'm under the shower the lights go off downstairs. Now that's easy to do, BUT when I come back downstairs (and I have motion detectors that will see that) I want all the lights that were on, to go on again. So the script must remember the state of my switches before turning them off, so that the exact same switches can go on again.

Is that possible, and how would I achieve that?

Quite possible to do, may be tedious to get just right.

Create a virtual "Having Shower" switch which you turn on when having a shower, this switch triggers a Script.

The script checks the state of each of your downstairs lights and stores them in a Domoticz uservariable.

On going downstairs, when the motion detectors spot you, a different script is triggered which checks to see if "Having Shower" is on, if so it reads the Domoticz uservariable, sets the lights accordingingly and then switches off "Having Shower".

Or do something with the lastupdate time.
If lastupdate > time() - 1800 ...

One way would be to store a list of the saved states in a user variable, or a Text device.
