Hi,

I have a few switches in my system.
I want to change the status of the switches at the same time using one API command.

I am thinking about somenthing like that:
How can I do that?

Put your json commands in a script using curl and fire the script? You can only switch one per command

Or put the switches in a group and use a json to switch the group

If I put about 20 singular commands into the script, it will be executed for a long time (>20 seconds).
If I need to use 100 switches, it will be more than 1 minute!

This way isn't right, I think.

The state of all the group members must be the same!
In my case, the states of switches are different - not equal.

This solution isn't good.

Other options:

use a scene -- Also delays when you have many switches
use a script -- Also delays when you have many switches

the delays are not so much in domoticz as in the hardware. For virtual switches the delay is negligible

Could you show me the example code for that?
Language - whatever
idx 01-100

1 pff
2 on
3 off
4 off

state random

Best regards

Code: Select all

--[[
Switch sequence of devices
 ]]

 return {

   on = { devices = { "Your trigger device" }           },
      
   execute = function(dz, trigger )
     
        if trigger.state ~= "Off" then 
            dz.devices(1).switchOff() 
            dz.devices(2).switchOn() 
            dz.devices(3).switchOff()
            dz.devices(100).switchOff()
        else
            dz.devices(1).switchOn() 
            dz.devices(2).switchOn() 
            dz.devices(3).switchOff()
            dz.devices(100).switchOff()
         end
   end
}

Thank you for your suggestion.

Is it possible with python?
I have some code in python and if it can be done with it I will be grateful.

I'm sure it can. There is a Python subforum on this board. If you post your question there it might be answered by someone skilled enough in Python
