Domoticz

Ciao,

here I came with my silly questions

is there the possibility to create a new dummy switch/actuator with the following specs:

Set an ON_Timer
Set an OFF_Timer for multiple times in 24 hours...

something like (without the plug of course... just the clock):

the ON/OFF should trigger an evento or a script

...the intention is to create an easier way to create timers and time-based events without using code lines or varable :P

(please think to those who are NOT familiar with technology and are almost forced to use DOmoticz )

Using planning you can do this.

If your forced to use Domoticz, try other...and you will quickly come back here.

Think that you have a manual aviable :

A great night book !


On begining script are not easyer, but it's like biking or skiing, or stop smoking, most hard is to start, life is full of first time (remember yours ? And now you like that hum?)

it's not me who is forced to use domoticz, but the people who lives with me (my wife and my daughter)

the less they touch technical parameters, the most we can get from the system

I would like to find a better way to let them able to use the server (the wall mounter ipad used as rempte ) without getting strange pages and code lines

Or what I'd actually like to see would be a dummy switch with some sort of time date / time picker which would then store the selection as the svalue and could be used in other scripts. The purpose would be to let the family have an easy way to schedule a car heater for the mornings (I'm not aware of any iOS apps that would allow the user to set a uservariable)... But something like this could be used for many purposes I guess.

Bumping this thread, as in my short period with Domoticz I already found a few applications for a Dummy Clock (time picker).

If I could add such switch to the interface, this would allow:
- simple plan/control for any device (e.g turn off lights at 23:30) - dynamically, with no need for modification of LUAs or Timer Plans
- alarm clock: wake me up tomorrow at 7:00 with a Scene (turn on lights + radio + start heating up the espresso machine). But next day I have a doctor's appointment before work, so 6:30. Again - modifying Event is possible, but a Dummy Clock would be so much more convenient!

To implement this now, the minimum would be 1 text dummy (storing the time) plus some dummy pushbuttons (such as Hour+1, Minute +1?). But this is rather clunky.
