Script to disable/enable events

[Slinkos]

Hi all,

I'm thinking to make a virtual switch named "Vacation" for whenever I will be gone from home for a while. My purpose of this switch that when it's on, it will disable the blocky events that I specify in the script), and enable all those events again when I turn the vacation swithc off.

Offcourse I could also rebuild al this events with the statement that "Vacation" has to be off, but I think this is a more clean solution.

Is there no script to do this?

Did you look for the possibilities of "Timer Plan" under Setup - Other?

[Slinkos]

No... I also can't find the menu you are suggesting.

One way would be to make your events check for the vacation switch status.

If the vacation switch is OFF then execute events, if its ON do nothing.

Hi
You should add uservariable in Settings-->More Options-->User variables

Put some name of Your Variable --> MyScriptRun
Type of Variable --> Integer
Variable --> 1

You must add some LUA code to Your Events.

I paste my code that turns off my lights automatically when some time elapses and no motion is discovered.

Code: Select all

script_time_nomotion.lua

local motion_switch = 'PiR - Kitchen'
local nomotion_uservar = 'nomotionCounter'
local status_switch = 'Lamp - ON'
local noRun = uservariables["MyScriptRun"]
local no_motion_minutes = tonumber(uservariables[nomotion_uservar])

commandArray = {}
          if (otherdevices[motion_switch] == 'Off') then
               no_motion_minutes = no_motion_minutes + 1
               --print('<font color="red">No motion has been detected for: ' ..no_motion_minutes.. ' minutes</font>')
          else 
               no_motion_minutes = 0 
          end 
          
          if tonumber(noRun) == 1 then
               if otherdevices[status_switch] == 'On' and no_motion_minutes > 10 then --change the 30 to the amount of minutes you prefer
                    nomotion_uservar= "0"
                    commandArray[status_switch]='Off'
               end
          end 
commandArray['Variable:' .. nomotion_uservar] = tostring(no_motion_minutes)
return commandArray

You must modify this script...sorry I don't know nothing about programming:(

You should make virtual switch (Vacation) and in field:

--> Enable action put something like this:

Code: Select all

 http://192.168.0.15:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&vname=MyScriptRun&vtype=integer&vvalue=1

--> Disable action put something like this:

Code: Select all

 http://192.168.0.15:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&vname=MyScriptRun&vtype=integer&vvalue=0 

Change 192.168.0.15:8080 to Your ip and port.

In my case when I turn On my Virtual switch --> My Lua script works and my lights in kitchen Turns off when some time elapses and no motion is discovered.

When i turn Off my Virtual switch --> My lua script doesn't work and my kitchen light are turned on all the time.

Sorry for my English.

Best regards
