PIR Sensor, Telegram and schedule

[Ritmeester]

I have a PIR sensor with the following Domoticz options:

It has an On Action with a script to send me a snapshot to my Telegram bot
It has Custom Message to send to my Telegram bot

All is just working fine now 

How can I make this PIR sensor to send me the messages only between 23:00 and 07:00?

I look in the Switch options itself but I can’t find a solution. Do I have to make this in Blocky?

hello,
here's some lua code, that you must test first, I cannot garantee it will work first time :

It is a "Device" script, so go to Setting / More Options / Events / Lua,
remove everything from the example and past the following code,
click "All" and choose "Device" instead of "All",
click "Event active" and save.

Of course, put the exact name of your PIR Device and copy the script call (without the leading "script://").

I recommand you keep an exact copy of the script call because you have to remove it from the PIR "On Action" (or you will receive them twice during the night).

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}         -- needed by dz

now = os.date("*t")

if devicechanged["Name of your PIR here"] == "On" then
   -- only if after 23 or before 7
   if (now.hour >= 23) or  (now.hour < 07) then
      os.execute("bash " .. "put script and args here without the script://")
   end
end

return commandArray      -- needed by dz

See you,
GD

Hi GD,

Thanks for your input. This lua script is working fine and does the job.
There is only every minut an error in the log file after the script runs one time.

Code: Select all

Other option
My second question is why this "can’t" be working?

I think this a "problem" with Blockley...
Some of my blockleys are switching every minute to...

Change the Box under LUA from All to Devices, this will fix this error!

Hi Jos,

Thanks, this did the trick.

I mean...
What is the different thing between this options?

[jvdz]

@Derik, Guess the "?" means you don't know what I am trying to say?

In the case you get the nil error for devicechanged[] table every minute on the minute, it simply means the script is ran as a TIME script as well. This happens when using the internal editor and you leave the dropdown selection box under the LUA dropdownbox on ALL as that will run the script for ALL events: Device/Time/Variable/Security events. With a Time event, the devicechanged[] table isn't generate leading to this nil error.
Making sense?

Thanks for the explanation.
For me this makes sense now. I hope also for @Derik
