$d is the array holding all the information of the system.
So $d['device']['s'] is the status.
t is the timestamp of update.
m is set with the storemode function.
storemode('device', 0); for example.
I use that for dimmers, rollers etc.
0 is mostly automatically, 1 manual. Whatever you want.

Example PIR:

Code: Select all

if ($status=="On"&&$d['auto']['s']=='On') {
    if ($d['Weg']['s']==0&&$d['inkom']['s']=='Off'&&$d['zon']['s']<100) {
        sw('inkom', 'On');
    }
}

So, if pir is on and the virtual switch auto is on and we're home and the light of inkom is off and the sun power is less than 100W switch the light on.
A lot of my automation uses the virtual switch auto. That way it's easy to disable all automatic functions when needed, like when painting or cleaning etc.

<?php
if($status=='On'&&$d['PIR-Bijkeuken-Lux']['s']<100) {
sw('Bijkeuken','On');
}

Code: Select all

<?php
if($status=='On'&&$d['Bijkeuken']['s']=='Off'&&$d['PIR-Bijkeuken-Lux']['s']<100) {
sw('Bijkeuken','On');
}

This way you can update the $d array easily:

Code: Select all

$d=fetchdata();

<?php
if ($d['Bijkeuken']['s']=='On'&&$d['PIR-Bijkeuken']['s']=='Off'&&past('PIR-Bijkeuken')>60) {
	sw('Bijkeuken', 'Off');
}
if ($d['Garageportaal']['s']=='On'&&$d['PIR-Garageportaal']['s']=='Off'&&past('Garageportaal')>60) {
	sw('Garageportaal', 'Off');
}
?>

<?php
if($status=='On'&&$d['PIR-Bijkeuken-Lux']['s']<60) {
sw('Bijkeuken','On');
}

Code: Select all

function lg($msg)
{
    $fp=fopen('/var/log/domoticz.log', "a+");
    $time=microtime(true);
    $dFormat="Y-m-d H:i:s";
    $mSecs=$time-floor($time);
    $mSecs=substr(number_format($mSecs, 3), 1);
    fwrite($fp, sprintf("%s%s %s\n", date($dFormat), $mSecs, $msg));
    fclose($fp);
}

Make sure the www-data user has rights to write to the file.
Use tail -f to watch the logfile, these lines or NOT shown in the domoticz GUI logviewer.
Once you have the lg function working it's a lot easier to debug.

Egregius wrote: ↑Friday 10 May 2019 13:18 Well, you have to verify that /var/log/domoticz.log is the logfile used by domoticz, check /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh for that.
Don't use a grep yet, or are there +100 lines each minute?
easiest way to set permissions is

Code: Select all

chmod 777 /var/log/domoticz.log

My Cron 60 starts with

lg('this is __cron60');

So it shows up in the log Everytime cron60 is called.

Evey minute that is

I am monitoring both domoticz.log as wel as domoticz.txt and the apache log
unfortunately no "this is _cron60". I must be doing something wrong

ok, now I know for sure that my cron is not working
because when I manually start the cron.sh script I get the lg line in the domoticz.log
so, back to the cron

ok, I think I got it.
2 things - the cron.sh was not executable so I did a chmod 777 to cron.sh
and I found out that I used "sudo crontab -e" instead of crontab -e.
now I see the script is running perfectly every minute

just keeping you all informed as it might help others as wel.
