could you pls confirm if dzVents could run directly on Windows ?

Hi Danny,

Any luck on this one?
I am hoping to spend my holidays to transfer to dZVents and this would be a nice starting point.

I have seen some comments on using dZVents in the internal lua editor (the one in the browser) but can't seem to find it anymore, any clue?

Thanks for all the hard work on this one!

Mmm.. summer and vacation drove me out of the house and away from the computer and my home systems. Sorry about that.
The internal editor doesn't work with dzVents unfortunately.

I have a 3 stage fanbox for my central exhaust system (always running on 1st stage) plus one additional build in pipe fan inside the chanel to the bathroom (because that used to stay moist with the normal fan or my kitchen exhaust flow was to low to get rid of all smells)

This is my code, please note that it is modified because I have more programs on my ventilation system running so this is part of a bigger picture.

Unfortunately I don't have much time lately to look into this very thoroughly but I would be very surprised if the script is run every second as this is not how Domoticz works. Unless you renamed the script and made it an event-based script instead of a time-based script. Make sure the filename of the script if script_time_<name>.lua and not script_device_<name>.lua. In the later case it will be executed everytime some device triggers the eventsystem which can be every second.

Mine is running every 5 minutes, no issue with it at all. I think you would want to comment on the other question . This was just FYI post.

First of all thank you for your humidity control script.

But the script is behaving a bit strange. The user variable “humCounter” is refreshing every second and not every minute as you mention.

Also the fan stops within 5 minutes even when the humidity is still increasing.

Is there something that I might overlook?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your help.

A minor other question. Do you have experience with Nest Protect V2?
I’m curious to know if Domoticz is able to see/read the CO and CO2 values that the Nest sensors can pick up. If so then there is the option to use the Nest sensors to trigger the fan if the CO2 levels are getting high.

not with nest but working to get NH3 sensing also installed since I have a toilet in the bathroom and want to do some smell control in case needed...
will post that when it is finished, that will be mysensor based for the NH3 and using 2 sensor nodes and some tube fans to control the flow from the toilets/bathroom/kitchen

(I don't like the current trigger mechanism. Allthough I narrowed the treshold, the fan start too late or not at all)
