goodnight script

[markjgabb]

hi everyone

im after a way to concantenate a string for use in a goodnight script

currently i have a welcome home that welcomes people home by name when they arrive

Code: Select all

local delay = 30
        local name = device.name
		if (device.state == 'On') then
		    
		    os.execute('(sleep '..delay..';tts welcome home "'..name..'" > /dev/null)&')
		end
	end

what im after now is a way to do a goodnight concant for saying goodnight by name for the group of people home


so if out of 4 person 2 and 3 are home it would say
goodnight 2 and 3

if 3 people were home it would say goodnight 2,3, and 4....
im sure this is possible using local settings but im just not sure how to get the concant to work the way i want it to...
also how to get it to only say it for devices that are turned on

You will have to check all 4 persons and concatenate these names to the string when they are in.

psuedo code:
string = "welcome home "
if person1 = in then string = string + name1
if person2 = in then string = string + name2
etc.

In case you'd like to develop that idea a bit further, below is an example code snippet. It can probably be improved a lot but it might give some ideas.

Code: Select all

		-- Greetings to the inhabitants of the house
		if device.name == 'SomeDevice' then -- This device triggers the greeting to be spoken

			math.randomseed(os.time()) -- so that the results are always different
			local function FYShuffle( tInput )
				local tReturn = {}
				for i = #tInput, 1, -1 do
					local j = math.random(i)
					tInput[i], tInput[j] = tInput[j], tInput[i]
					table.insert(tReturn, tInput[i])
				end
				return tReturn
			end

			local t = os.date('*t')
			local hour = tostring(t.hour)
			local min = tostring(t.min)
			local current_second = t.hour * 3600 + t.min * 60 -- number of sec since midnight
			local morning = 0 * 3600 + 0 * 60 -- 00:00
			local afternoon = 10 * 3600 + 0 * 60 -- 10:00
			local evening = 18 * 3600 + 0 * 60 -- 18:00
			local greeting = 'Good'
			local timeOfDay = ''
			if (current_second > morning) and (current_second < afternoon) then
				timeOfDay = 'morning'
			else
				if (current_second > afternoon) and (current_second < evening) then
					timeOfDay = 'day'
				else
					timeOfDay = 'evening'
				end
			end
			greeting = greeting..' '..timeOfDay..' '
			local greetings = {}
			table.insert(greetings, greeting)
			table.insert(greetings, 'Hello')
			table.insert(greetings, 'Hi')
			table.insert(greetings, 'What\'s up')
			greetings = FYShuffle(greetings) -- shuffle the table and save it
			greeting = greetings[3]..'... '

			local peopleAtHome = {}
			if (domoticz.devices('John @ Home').active) then table.insert(peopleAtHome, 'John') end
			if (domoticz.devices('Charlie @ Home').active) then table.insert(peopleAtHome, 'Charlie') end
			if (domoticz.devices('Anna @ Home').active) then table.insert(peopleAtHome, 'Anna') end
			peopleAtHome = FYShuffle(peopleAtHome) -- shuffle the table and save it

			for i,v in ipairs(peopleAtHome) do
				greeting = greeting..(v)
				if i < #peopleAtHome - 1 then
					greeting = greeting..', '
				elseif i == #peopleAtHome - 1 then
					greeting = greeting..' and '
				end
			end
			domoticz.helpers.speak(domoticz, greeting..'...')
		end
