dzvents timer problem [Solved]

[pgas37]

Rapsberry pi V3
Domoticz version 3.8153
Dzvents version 2.20

I need a timer that:
- starts 60 minutes after sunrise
- is activted inly during daytime
- every 5 minutes

I tried : timer = {' 60 minutes after sunrise at daytime every 5 minutes'}, but that doesn't work

I tried to solve the problem by retrieving the minutes after sunrise with: MinAfterSunrise = timeofday['SunriseInMinutes'] and put the output in an if/then statement, but "MinAfterSunrise " always returns with the same number.

Can anyone help me with this one?

thanks a lot

If you do this 60 after sunrise it's not daytim...

Try to create a planified dummy.

And do a script who start like this:

If otherdevice['ThisDummy']=='On' and (os.date('%M') % 5)==0 then

This code will not work in dzVents 2.4 (not sure it will in 2.2)

I need a timer that:
- starts 60 minutes after sunrise
- is activted inly during daytime
- every 5 minutes

Try

Code: Select all

return {
	on = { timer = { 'every 5 minutes at daytime' } },
	   
	execute = function(domoticz, _)
           
        if (domoticz.time.secondsSinceMidnight/60) > (domoticz.time.sunriseInMinutes + 60) then
            print ("I should do something now")
        else
            print ("I should wait a little longer")
         end
    end
}

both thanks for your answer.

I tested the solution of Waaren (no extra dummySwitch), which can be followed with some simple print commands, and it worked well.

Thanks a lot!

dzVents is far more easier then that.
I use this for a dzVents script and it works perfect

Code: Select all

	on = {
		timer = { 'every minute between 15 minutes before sunrise and 15 minutes after sunset' } 
	},

So you try this for a change

Code: Select all

	on = {
		timer = { 'every 5 minutes between 60 minutes after sunrise and sunset' } 
	},

The syntax is about this

Code: Select all

	on = {
		timer = { 'interval between first time and second time' } 
	},

Look here for the Timer trigger rules
