Thx for reply.
Given the importance in daily use of my scripts, I think the fix will happen first in the beta right? so should I activate the reception of the beta version? thanks

Yes the fix will happen first in beta. Up to you if you want to switch to beta and help testing new features / bugfixes. I cannot recommend this if bad things will happen if domoticz does show issues. In fact I would not set the check for updates at all in such a system and wait until you see something on the forum and/or on the
version wiki page and update controlled and after making a backup of your domoticz directory.

I created a
Pull request to solve this issue. When OK it will be merged into a next Beta.
Next stable where the fix will be in might be taking some time to arrive.

thanks for the work done!
In the meantime, since the problem seems to affect the z-wave and zigbee devices, I created a virtual switch that follows the main switch and modified the code in this way. Now everything works as before!
Code: Select all
return
{
on =
{
devices = { 'SDB' },
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = 'dim based on time'
},
execute = function(dz, item)
dz.log('SDB state: ' .. item.state,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
if item.active and dz.devices('VIRTUAL DEVICE').lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 4 then
if dz.time.matchesRule('at 06:30-21:30') then
item.dimTo(100).silent()
else
item.dimTo(20).silent()
end
elseif and dz.devices('VIRTUAL DEVICE').lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 4 then
item.dimTo(0).silent()
end
end
}

What is your problem? This should be fixed in stable 2020.2 and so also in 2021.1

My problem was well explained in this post
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27607&p=224799#p224799 but it disappeared from the forum
Discussed also here
viewtopic.php?p=228875#p228875
My understanding of this problem is about .silent() that doesn't really work for devices like zwave and generate false trigger when a switch is switched on or off. This thing about ".silent()" is not solved for me and the ".lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 4" workaround is not good in all cases

My request was just to understand how it was done, perhaps it could be useful for other workaround, and also to understand something I could not figure out

My guess is that this behavior for z-wave devices is most likely a result of the way openzwave works: when a value gets set using openzwave, that value is stored in memory and it is sent to the device. Then when the device has accepted the value, the device responds by sending the new value back to the controller (i.e. domoticz). Both setting the value and the device's response normally trigger domoticz to call the script's execute function. When you add the silent() function, only the set value gets the silent() functionality applied, i.e. the call to execute the script is skipped. When the device's response is received however, that value change still triggers the script to be called.

That's possible indeed. I did some testing some time ago and it was not always the same pattern , perhaps due to other issues with OWZ.
I also did some simple testing with zwavejs2mqtt and I'm afraid that it could be the same... I'll do more testing in a while.
That's why I'd like to know what was the work around found in this topic...
