Hi all,

hope you can help me out with this one! At my house I have a Raspberry Pi with rfxtrx433e. Every night at some time (depending who is at home, and if there are surtain triggers on or off) I switch a couple of lights, grouped by a group, off. But sometimes not all the lights are going off. I suggest it happens because of to quick sended signals to my 433 switches (kaku look-a-likes).

The script to shut off the lights is in LUA. But is there a solution to put a delay in shutting off each device in the group? I've searched for it but couldn't find a delay option in LUA itself. So perhaps there is an other solution for this problem. I have put them into a group because of not always every light is going off. When I resend it to the lights the one which isn't going off will turn off eventually. And it isn't always the same one...

First: it's better to check if the device is on before sending on off signal. That way you prevent sending unnescessary commands.
Second: Not sure about lua, but in php you can easily sleep (seconds) or even usleep (microseconds).

Some how and is known for some time delay times in Scenes aint working that well.
But in Groups they do, you can create a group with some lights and set a ON or OFF delay.

Like the screenshot below:
In one of my groups the light will be triggered with a delay of two seconds when ON or OFF.



In lua you can do it like:

I already do that at first. But when I mentioned that not all the lights where turned off I have tried to shut down the whole scene.

In lua you can do it like:

Code: Select all

	commandArray[1]={['Schemerlamp']='On AFTER 5'}	
	commandArray[2]={['Wandlampen']='On AFTER 10'}
	commandArray[3]={['Sta lamp']='On AFTER 15'}	
	commandArray[4]={['Vaas lamp']='On AFTER 20'}	

Thanks, will try the array option you meantioned. Could use it on multiple scripts I have.

Could you explain what the exact purpose of the off on delay is? I have tried to understand it by the wiki and the manual but couldn't get a clear discription about the exact working.
