If Then not working in Blockly?

[Noudje]

I have created the following blockly script:

Knipsel.PNG (31.97 KiB) Viewed 1335 times

but in the log file, I find:

2016-08-12 19:35:00.517 Start
2016-08-12 19:35:00.517 195
2016-08-12 19:35:00.517 Light on
2016-08-12 19:35:00.517 Light off

Why is the If/Then not working?

as far as I know you can't use an If-block inside another If-block. You can only use an If-block and then multiple Else if-blocks

So what you should do is something like:

Code: Select all

If      [Time > 07:00] and [Time <= 23:45]
Do      [Write to log "Start"]
        [Write to log M-R Motion Sensor 1 - Lux actual]
Else if [Time > 07:00] and [Time <= 23:45] and [M-R Motion Sensor 1 - Lux actual <= 30]
Do      [Write log "Light on"]
Else if [Time > 07:00] and [Time <= 23:45] and [M-R Motion Sensor 1 - Lux actual > 30]
Do      [Write to log "Light off"]
Else if [Time < 07:00] or [Time > 23:45]
Do      [Write to log "Lamp altijd uit"]

Except I don't know if you really want to add the first and last If-statements because this is going to trigger very often. You could change that by adding a variable 'Already_started?' with value 1/0 (Integer) or yes/no (String) so you'll get something like this:

Code: Select all

If      [Time > 07:00] and [Time <= 23:45] and [Var A-F Already_started? = "no"]
Do      [Set Var A-F Already_started? = "yes"]
        [Write to log "Start"]
        [Write to log M-R Motion Sensor 1 - Lux actual]
Else if [Time > 07:00] and [Time <= 23:45] and [M-R Motion Sensor 1 - Lux actual <= 30]
Do      [Write log "Light on"]
Else if [Time > 07:00] and [Time <= 23:45] and [M-R Motion Sensor 1 - Lux actual > 30]
Do      [Write to log "Light off"]
Else if [Time < 07:00] or [Time > 23:45] and [Var A-F Already_started? = "yes"]
Do      [Set Var A-F Already_started? = "no"]
        [Write to log "Lamp altijd uit"]

Now the first and last statement will only trigger once between those times

Thnx tozzke! That is the solution. Weird that I can not use nested if-blocks?
