Blockly script not working

[hvb83]

I made a blockly script and for some reason it doesn't work, but I cannot find out what I am doing wrong:

The logfile states the following:

I'm sure for the experts it's easy to spot, but I cannot figure it out myself.

mmm

What is badkamer... [ looks Light switch.. is that correct? ]
Time must be. xxx OR xxx

[hvb83]

Badkamer is indeed the bathroom light switch, which is supposed to turn the bathroom ventilation and mirror lights/heating on.

I've tried changing AND to OR, but still get the same error.

The Badkamer is a dimmer switch? If so, just to test, try using "not = Off".

Time must be. xxx OR xxx

time >= 6.00 or time <= 10.30
is 24 hours...

time >= 6.00 and time <= 10.30
is 4 and 1/2 hours and 1 minute (minus 1 millisecond) between (including) 6.00 and 10.30

fyi.

try using "not = Off".

Confusing... i think you mean:

If it is a switch why check >10%? and not if it's on?

e.g. if badkamer = on and time >= 6.00 and time <= 10.30

[hvb83]

Sorry for the confusion guys, indeed it is a dimmer and not a switch per say. On another dimmer I found that "if dimmer = on" only triggered above a certain dimmer level, like 30% or more. I therefor figured setting it to 10% would work more reliable in my situation. It's only temporary, until I've figured out why the on/off trigger doesn't work like it is supposed to.

The event is to be true between 6.00 and 10.30, so I think OR was correct.

But that still leaves it a big mystery why I get an error.

[StanHD]

The reason to test "Not = Off" (ie any level except off) is because a dimmer sometimes doesn't respond to "on" or the problem may be with the Level %. So if it works with "Not = Off" then the level % part is the problem, not the time criteria.

This works OK:-



Not an answer to the problem but a possible work around?

[trixwood]

I got confused with NOT = Off I interpreted it as 'NOT' = Off (as an identifier not as an operator in programming terms)
never excepted that and read it all wrong! Will include that in [≠, <> or !=] data set

Sorry, my fault I didn't know how to type those characters on my tablet

Thanks Stan, that did the trick! Now my script is changed in a minor way, but it's working:
