It isn't that easy as I thought it would be. Thankfully I've enough time to try something out, as I won't go on vacation before the end of December, but still...

I made a switch called 'Vakantie-mode' from this topic. At least, that part is working

Code: Select all

-- Check the wiki at
-- http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/%27dzVents%27:_next_generation_LUA_scripting
return {

	-- 'active' controls if this entire script is considered or not
	active = true, -- set to false to disable this script

	-- trigger
	-- can be a combination:
	on = {
		devices = {
			-- scripts is executed if the device that was updated matches with one of these triggers
			'Vakantie-mode', -- device name
		--	'abc*', -- triggers for all devices which name begins with abc
			221, -- id
		},

		timer = {
			-- timer triggers.. if one matches with the current time then the script is executed
			'every day'
		}
	},

	-- actual event code
	-- in case of a timer event or security event, device == nil
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
		--[[

		The domoticz object holds all information about your Domoticz system. E.g.:

		local myDevice = domoticz.devices('myDevice')
		local myVariable = domoticz.variables('myUserVariable')
		local myGroup = domoticz.groups('myGroup')
		local myScene = domoticz.sceneds('myScene')

		The device object is the device that was triggered due to the device in the 'on' section above.
		]] --
		-- example
		if (device.state == 'On') then
		    switchOn('Scene Lezen')	
		end
	end
}

This is my first attempt, and of course it isn't working, with a 'Error: dzVents: Error: ...ticz/var/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Vakantie?.lua:40: attempt to call global 'switchOn' (a nil value)'.

Also tried Blockly, but don't understand that at all.

if (device.state == 'On') then
    domoticz.scenes('Scene Lezen').switchOn()	
end

Well, you started well by using dzVents (but posted this question in the wrong forum I guess).

Whoops. Thought I was in the right board. Well, maybe some nice moderator will move it

Anyhow... it's very simple: you have to call switchOn ON the device. switchOn is a so called object method. So you need an object to call it on. In this case you want to activate a scene so you have to get the scene from the scenes collection:

Code: Select all

if (device.state == 'On') then
    domoticz.scenes('Scene Lezen').switchOn()	
end

It's all in the manual

Code: Select all

if (devicechanged['FEB_Presence'] or devicechanged['DIB_Presence'] or devicechanged['HTB_Presence']) then
    if (otherdevices['FEB_Presence'] == 'On' or otherdevices['DIB_Presence']== 'On' or otherdevices['HTB_Presence']== 'On') then
        os.execute('curl -s "http://username:[email protected]:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=setactivetimerplan&ActiveTimerPlan=4" &')
        print("Family is Home")
    else
