If device is on for 5 minutes

[stingone]

Hi everyone,

Is there any possibily to write a rule that uses the (if device is on for 5 minutes then?) could not find it with blockly.

Probably not in blockly, but in pass2php very simple:

Code: Select all

if($sdevice=='On'&&$tdevice<time-300){
  ...
}

@Egregius:
Yes you are brilliant!
And in pass2php everything is possible,.... as you answer to each question.
But this is the Blockly section, PHP has his own section, and keep it there!
My wife and children don't understand PHP, but can edit and maintain Blockly.
Maintaining domotica is more important than creating domotica.
Rather important: even you will die one day.


@stingone
Use a dummy device (DUMDEV) to remember the state of your device DEV

Something like this (not tested)
IF DEV=ON and DUMDEV=ON
SET DUMDEV OFF after 300 seconds
IF DEV=ON and DUMDEV=OFF
SET "do your thing"
IF DEV=OFF and DUMDEV=OFF
SET DUMDEV=ON
(remember: ELSE is not a real ELSE ... all branches are checked always

Hope this helps

Oh, because we're not in the PHP board one may not suggest PHP?
