Pushnotification when dishwasher/washing machine is ready?

[nayr]

happy to report that my Washing Machine, Clothes Dryer and Dish Washer are all using this script with great success..

The Dish Washer has a 30min timeout and a consumption_lower of 0.1w, this way it dont ask me to open it and I get blasted in the face with steam.. it goes right to 0w when its done, no idling around at the end.

Dryer since it is gas is very steady and dont idle about at all waiting for stuff to drain, used the same values I did for the washing machine and it's been fine.

I put these appliances in the $HiddenDevices room, the on/off switch are useless in a day to day need.. but I do want them available for scripts, I have a flood sensor in the basement shoved down an emergency drain, if something leaks or my sewer pipe clogs (it happens) it will trigger the washers to shutdown, so they dont contribute to the flooding... I am thinking of making a virtual override switch to enable during spring lightning storms, disconnect all non-critical equipment for say 12h.. just for extra safety, but then perhaps im trying to hard to find a use for the on/off switch huh?

Wife Approval Factor is very high, if only because I am more likely to getup and change a load out now that I know its in there and ready.

Thanks for the scripts. Working great for my washing machine after some script modifications.
My clothes dryer have some issues and sometimes it's stopping before the dry program is finished. So I wanted to know how long the dryer been running before it stopped.

Created a simple function that gives me e.g. 1 hour and 5 minutes in notifications. This might be useful for others.

Code: Select all

function formatSeconds(seconds)
	local hours = math.floor(seconds / 3600)
	local seconds = seconds % 3600
	local minutes = math.floor(seconds / 60)
	local andTxt = ' and '
	if hours == 1 then hoursTxt = ' hour' else hoursTxt = ' hours' end
	if minutes == 1 then minutesTxt = ' minute' else minutesTxt = ' minutes' end
	if hours == 0 then hoursTxt = '' hours = '' andTxt = '' end
	if minutes == 0 then minutesTxt = '' minutes = '' andTxt = '' end
	return hours .. hoursTxt .. andTxt .. minutes .. minutesTxt  
end

function timedifference(s)
	year = string.sub(s, 1, 4)
	month = string.sub(s, 6, 7)
	day = string.sub(s, 9, 10)
	hour = string.sub(s, 12, 13)
	minutes = string.sub(s, 15, 16)
	seconds = string.sub(s, 18, 19)
	t1 = os.time()
	t2 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=hour, min=minutes, sec=seconds}
	difference = os.difftime (t1, t2)
	return difference
end

print(formatSeconds(7304)) --Result: 2 hours and 1 minute

--Send notification example
commandArray['SendNotification']='Dryer#Dryer has stopped after ' .. formatSeconds(timedifference(uservariables_lastupdate['YOUR_USERVARIABLE'])) .. '#0'

Thank you for this script! Works great for my washing machine!

this is a great addition to my script! thanx!

[LovelessNl]

This is probably a silly question, but how do you configure where the messages in the script (such as 'Washing Machine#The load in the washing machine has finsihed, please move it to the dryer' go? I

[LovelessNl]

Ah never mind, thats obviously just the default config from Domoticz...

[Evelen]

modified your script a bit @ThinkPad to fix a lil bug,

copied the counter setup line from the first if statment, and added it to the second as an elseif condition:

Code: Select all

if (washer_usage < consumption_lower) and uservariables[washer_status_uservar] == 1 then --Washing machine is not using a lot of energy, subtract the counter
  commandArray['Variable:' .. washer_counter_uservar]=tostring(math.max(tonumber(uservariables[washer_counter_uservar]) - 1, 0))
  print('Current power usage (' ..washer_usage.. 'W) is below lower boundary (' ..consumption_lower.. 'W), washer is idle or almost ready')
  print('Subtracting counter with 1, new value: ' ..uservariables[washer_counter_uservar].. ' minutes')
elseif ((uservariables[washer_counter_uservar] ~= idle_minutes) and uservariables[washer_status_uservar] == 1) then
  commandArray['Variable:' .. washer_counter_uservar]=tostring(idle_minutes)
end

my full script: http://pastebin.com/w9aWiu3B

this way the counter resets if its not idle for consecutive mins.. Watching a load wash now and I noticed wattage dropped real low but the counter did not reset after it went back up before timeout. My Washer gives a reminder tone @ 5mins and the notification came in within seconds of that going off.

sure the idle time is in minutes?, my log indicates it is much faster (seconds?):

looks like tha value "1000" equals 1h (or 60m)

Code: Select all

local idle_minutes            = 1000

Hi, as long as you make sure the script is defined as "time" script it really runs once a minute. If it is defined as "device" script it triggers for every device change which I guess could explain the above ( = about 1000 device changes in an hour). But yeah, once it is defined as time script, it'll work as intended and run only once a minute...

[Evelen]

thanks worked.

[amblyo]

I have problem that the script runs to often and not every minute.

How do i define a script as a "time script"?

This is the script I'm using for my washing machine (based on power usage in watts):

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

 -- Change Watt Device value to number and remove the word Watt
wattdevice = otherdevices_svalues['Washing Machine / Dryer Watts']
function stripchars(str, chrs)
   local s = str:gsub("["..chrs.."]", '')
   return s end
wattvalue = stripchars( wattdevice, " Watt" )

if (uservariables["WashingMachineState"] == 'notinuse' and tonumber(wattvalue) >= 10 ) then
commandArray['Variable:WashingMachineState'] = 'inuse'
end

if (uservariables["WashingMachineState"] == 'inuse' and tonumber(wattvalue) <= 1 ) then
commandArray['Variable:WashingMachineState'] = 'notinuse'
os.execute ('/var/www/tts/speak.sh "Kitchen" "The washing machine has finished."')
commandArray['SendNotification']='Notification#The washing machine has finished.'
end

return commandArray

[Nautilus]

How do i define a script as a "time script"?

If you have the script as text file in the lua directory, the naming needs to be script_time_XXX.lua. If you have it in the database (= are using the web interface for managing events) under the "Event name" section (top right) there's a dropdown selector with default value "All" that you need to change to "Time" and save the script.

[amblyo]

Thanks!

I missed that obvious dropdown in the webinterface.

Hope that it solves my problem.

[maomanna]

i dont get it,

tried several scripts.

in the log i see (like every second)

[Nautilus]

If you have created the script via the event management in the web UI make sure the type is set as "Time" and not "All" or "Device". If you have stored it in the file system make sure the name starts with script_time_

Then Domoticz knows it's a time script and runs it only once a minute.

[Hesmink]

Thanks all for perfecting this script!

Just received my TP-Link HS110, and it got just notified of my first finished washing routine!
The notification comes around 10 minutes after actually finishing, my washing machine still does 'stuff' costing energy.
It also has anti-crease security that once in a while spins the drum. Maybe disabling this helps.

[SiggeStardust]

Just a wild idea and also perhaps ofThread .
Main thread is how to determine when a machine is done and then give a notification.
I want to focus on the later part since the detection phase is working . but instead of having a push notification like Pushover that i use, i would like to have a TTS message in my Sonos telling me that the "Laundry is done" Anyone having thoughts about how to do this ?
Besides Domoticz i also use HASS and their is a Sonos TTS interface that i thought might be usefull.
What would we do with all our time if we didnt have HomeAutomation

Then Domoticz knows it's a time script and runs it only once a minute.

it is created as time in the web ui.
When i reset the timer manually, it eventually will send my a notification when it returned to "5".
But when i start using the washingmachine, it does not reset.
