problem with timedifference / lastupdate not switching switch
Posted: Sunday 29 April 2018 19:55
Hi All.
Im have been using domoticz a long time, but new to Lua.
I am trying to get this script to turn off my lights, when there has been no movement on a sensor for a specified amount of time.
the utility lights work fine every time.
But the landing lights dont work. it doesnt even print ('Checking landing lights') in the log.
has anyone got any ideas as to why this isnt working?
is there a limit to the number of things you can use the timedifference function for in a script?
im on Version: 3.8153
Thanks,
Sion.

t1 = os.time()
t2 = os.time{year=year, month=month, day=day, hour=hour, min=minutes, sec=seconds}
