Domoticz

Maybe a stupid question:

for devices we have:
device.switchOn().afterSec(10)

Can't we have this also for variables like:
variable.set('my_value').afterSec(10)

In normal LUA you can do this for variables

Oh I didn't know that. I'll add it.

I'm also looking for this feature - is it added now?

Thanks!

Not yet.. just got back from vacation. Catching up here...

OK...but pleaaaaaseeee implement this soon - I really need it for my alarm system

Thanks...

I'm testing it right now on my production machine. I want to have it running for a little before we start creating Pull Requests.

Sounds really good...thanks so much for doing this...

Is it possible to use time option to a function also? eg. " myfunction().afterSec(delay)"

No, that's handled by the Lua interpreter. Calling a function has nothing to do with Domotic's scheduling support.

How's the testing going?

Taking longer than expected as quite some changes have to made in the Domoticz event systems. Still working on that.

OK - thanks again for your effort!

Any progress?

Are we getting closer to a solution?

Eh.. it is released in 3.8551 so give it a try.

Working perfect, thx

Question:

Is it possible to cancel an .afterSec() before it is activated (the time has passed)?

The use-case is for an alarm system, where I use afterSec to time from when the PIR is trigged to when the siren should start. I want to be able to cancel the siren if the alarm is disarmed.

Thanks,

In the upcoming dzVents 2.4 you can do device.cancelQueuedCommands(). Until then you can try device.setState(device.state)).

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I do it like this:

domoticz.variables('SoundSiren').set('0')

But that doesn't cancel the afterSec() - it's still called after the time-out.

Any other suggestions that might work?

Thanks.
