dzVents has me stumped - simple logic switch on/off

I've just take a look at using dzVents; but I'm missing something in my logic of how it works. For example, I'm trying to create a simple script to turn on a switch 10 minutes after sunset and turn off 10 minutes before sunrise. I think I have it working as 2 separate scripts; but surely I can create the logic in a single script? I'm sure it can be done; but for some reason my brain is malfunctioning today...Any tips?
Switch ON
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
timer = {
'10 minutes after sunset',
},
},
execute = function(domoticz, devices)
domoticz.devices('Switch [WS01]').switchOn().checkFirst()
end
}
Switch OFF
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
timer = {
'10 minutes before sunrise',
},
},
execute = function(domoticz, devices)
domoticz.devices('Switch [WS01]').switchOff().checkFirst()
end
}

since sunrise and sunset are in the morning and in the afternoon, I would use AM or PM from the time/date object?
mine is just a guess....

Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
timer = {
'10 minutes after sunset',
'10 minutes before sunrise'
},
},
execute = function(domoticz, devices)
if os.date("%p") == 'AM' then --sunrise
domoticz.devices('Switch [WS01]').switchOff().checkFirst()
else
domoticz.devices('Switch [WS01]').switchOn().checkFirst()
end
end
}

Thanks for that - In the end, I think I've not gotten my brain back in gear some. I've applied the following code (tested based on 'at 19:00' type logic) which is working
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
timer = {
'10 minutes after sunset',
'10 minutes before sunrise'
},
},
execute = function(domoticz, myDevice, triggerInfo)
local myDevice = domoticz.devices('Switch [WS01]')
if (triggerInfo.trigger == '10 minutes after sunset') then
myDevice.switchOn().checkFirst()
elseif (triggerInfo.trigger == '10 minutes before sunrise') then
myDevice.switchOff().checkFirst()
end
end
}

Yes, the last one is how you 'should' do it. That's what the triggerInfo was intended for.

Yeah - finally got a better understanding of your dzVents (at least a basic level). Thanks for creating this awesome addition - now to look to convert my other LUA, PHP and Python scripts all to dzVents - nice winter project!

Good luck and let’s make it ours. Not just mine.
