How do i check for days in an IF statement?

Hi,
I got this script which which works fine, cept that i only want it to check certain if statement on monday till friday.
Right now my if statement looks like this:
Code: Select all
if (domoticz.devices('Sensor_SK_PenM').state == 'On') and (domoticz.devices('Lamp_SK_PenM').state == 'Off') and (domoticz.devices('Lux_SK_PenM').lux <= 20) then
But i would like to add something like "and days between mon-fri" but i dont know what the right syntax is for this.
Any help would be appriciated!

use dzVentz, very easy with:
on = {
timer = { mon, thu, wed, thu, fri }
}
check the Wiki

I saw it could be done with a timer, however, this is my code now:
Code: Select all
if (domoticz.devices('Sensor_SK_PenM').state == 'On') and (domoticz.devices('Lamp_SK_PenM').state == 'Off') and (domoticz.devices('Lux_SK_PenM').lux <= 20) then
domoticz.log(domoticz.time.rawTime)
if (domoticz.time.hour >= 8) and (domoticz.time.hour <= 21) then
domoticz.scenes('Lamp_SK_PenM_Overdag').switchOn()
domoticz.data.counter = 0
domoticz.log('<font color="purple"> [DEVICE] Motion sensor Kamer PenM is aan, Lamp is aangezet (routine 8-20)')
elseif (domoticz.time.hour >= 22) and (domoticz.time.hour <= 22) and (domoticz.time.min <= 30) then
domoticz.scenes('Lamp_SK_PenM_Avond').switchOn()
domoticz.log('<font color="purple"> [DEVICE] Motion sensor Kamer PenM is aan, Lamp is aangezet (routine 22-23)')
end
I want to split this code up so the "on" switch from 8 till 21 will happen only on mon-fri and i want to create a different one for example 10-21 on sat-sun.

You can have multiple 'on timer' events and select them using triggerinfo.trigger

You can check for a day by using the matchesRule function on a Time object:
Code: Select all
if (
domoticz.devices('Sensor_SK_PenM').state == 'On' and
domoticz.devices('Lamp_SK_PenM').state == 'Off' and
domoticz.devices('Lux_SK_PenM').lux <= 20 and
domoticz.time.matchesRule('on mon,fri,sat,sun')) then -- doesn't work with 'between'
---
end
You can use the same time rules as you can with the timer trigger.

@dannybloe
i have this code now:
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
devices = {
'Sensor_SK_PenM'
},
timer = {
'every minute on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'
},
},
data = {
counter = { initial = 0 }
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
if (domoticz.devices('Sensor_SK_PenM').state == 'On') and (domoticz.devices('Lamp_SK_PenM').state == 'Off') and (domoticz.devices('Lux_SK_PenM').lux <= 20) then
domoticz.log(domoticz.time.rawTime)
if (domoticz.time.hour >= 8) and (domoticz.time.hour <= 21) then
domoticz.scenes('Lamp_SK_PenM_Overdag').switchOn()
domoticz.data.counter = 0
domoticz.log('<font color="purple"> [DEVICE] Motion sensor Kamer PenM is aan, Lamp is aangezet (routine 8-21)')
elseif (domoticz.time.hour >= 22) and (domoticz.time.hour <= 22) and (domoticz.time.min <= 30) then
domoticz.scenes('Lamp_SK_PenM_Avond').switchOn()
domoticz.log('<font color="purple"> [DEVICE] Motion sensor Kamer PenM is aan, Lamp is aangezet (routine 22-23)')
end
But i notice the lights also go on saturday and sunday. Is that correct? since i use only weekdays in the timer?

Peter

Well, you can check the trigger info (third parameter to the execute function) and see if the reason was timer or a device. See
documentation. Thing is that in your script when Sensor_SK_PenM changes, your script is triggered as well. So if your if-statement renders true then you have things happening on every day.
So, there are several things you can do. You can check the triggerInfo parameter as mentioned above or you can put a day-check in your execute function or add a rule to the device trigger:
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
devices = {
'Sensor_SK_PenM' = { 'on mon, tue, wed, thu, fri' }
},
timer = {
'every minute on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'
},
},
...
Now changes in Sensor_SK_PenM will only trigger the execute function on weekdays.
Unless of course there's a bug in the timer rule code but first check if anything mentioned above is going on.

I will try the above method with the devices = first.
Could it be it has to be : 'Sensor_SK_PenM' == { 'on mon, tue, wed, thu, fri' } instead of a single = ? I got an error when i tried to use a single = sign.
Thank you for your responce!

No, it is not a comparision but a declaration. 'devices' inside the 'on'-section is a Lua table where each member is either a singleton (device name or id) or a key/value item (where in this case key is 'Sensor_SK_PenM' and value is again a Lua table (array) with timer rules. There can be more rules in that table.

Would you help me with the error im getting when using a single sign?
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on = {
devices = {
'Sensor_SK_PenM' = { 'on mon, tue, wed, thu, fri' }
},
timer = {
'every minute on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri'
},
},
data = {
counter = { initial = 0 }
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
Im getting the following error on line 9: '}' expected near '='

Ow crap, I always forget those nasty [ ]:
Code: Select all
devices = {
['Sensor_SK_PenM'] = { 'on mon, tue, wed, thu, fri' }
},
Lua is weird.

Im trying to learn python atm to get a better feeling with things. Lua did not have much good teaching on udemy
Thanks alot for your help!

Ah, it's easy to learn and very similar to javascript. You just have to learn a couple of syntactic difference and read about Lua tables. Not so hard. There's no dzVents data model in python though.
