Some hints:
- You need to check every device/switch separately, see also below
- You are not using the 'AND' in the correct way. Use it like this: [lamp1 = On] AND [lamp2 = On].... Not like: lamp1 AND lamp2 = On... won't work
- You are now checking for the EXACT moment of sunset/sunrise. So one minute before/after sunset/sunrise the condition isn't valid anymore

1) Create o dummy switch
2) Create one user variable named "Dummy switch time" give it a start value of say '1'
3) Make a blockly event that turns on the dummy switch when the sensor is >3500 lux and off if sensor is <3400
4) Add the script below to the script folder
5) now you can build your event and trigger on the value of the variable "Dummy switch time" (for example if its more than 120 or what ever)

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

	t1 = os.time()
	t2 = uservariables['Dummy switch time']
	r0 = t1-t2

	commandArray['Variable:Timewithmorethan3500'] = tostring(r0)
	print('Timewithmorethan3500  ' .. r0)
return commandArray

Think this i principle should work with your scenario..

You can use this event to control a virtual switch, called 'IsDark'. You can then use the 'IsDark' in your other events to check if it is dark outside.
You may think, why not use a simple timer to turn this virtual switch on/off?

The timer will only switch at the configured moment. But if that moment is missed because the Pi had a power failure for example, your lights will never turn on after the Pi has booted again, because Domoticz won't check if the switch has turned on if the configured switch time has passed.

The event is different in this, because it will ALWAYS check the conditions and thus works always. If you boot your Pi in the middle of the night (after it has been off for the whole day) and the virtual switch is still in the 'day' setting, the event will turn it to the correct setting (=IsDark is on).


P.S. The 'OR' in the 'ELSE IF' line is correct. Domoticz validates till 23:59, at 0:00 a new day starts. Therefore by using 'AND' the condition will never become true.

more like this :


I'am busy with the : zon op (licht), zon onder (donker) ( Sunrise : light , Sunset Dark) blocky , first i'am reading a lot about the possibilities .
should i use Json script (as found on tweakers.net), or just use al blocky example

But how is it possible to create this blocky to learn : when whe arrive at home the light levels up ( %) ?

Done
But could you maybe explain a little bit about : variable that you use in the Switch on lights when we are home, and it is getting dark and Turn on lights when we arrive home and it is dark outside blocky you use .
I tried the wiki but don't understand exactely what this variable do and mean .
