last notification in dzVents persistent data?

hi all
how is it possible to set a delay between two notifications from the same script?
not to receive a notification every minute as long as condition not changed
is it possible with the dzVents persistent data?

I am not sure I completely understand your question but you can use dzVent persistent data to have an extra time based condition for performing an action (e.g. send a notification)
Code: Select all
--[[ notificationDelay.lua
]]--
return {
on = { timer = { "every minute" }},
logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = "notificationDelay." },
data = { notificationSent = { initial = "1970-1-1 1:1:1.1" }, -- Unix epoch
state = { initial = "" }},
execute = function(dz, _)
local Time = require('Time')
local currentTime = Time(dz.time.raw)
local storedTime = Time(dz.data.notificationSent)
local deltaHours = dz.utils.round(currentTime.compare(storedTime).secs / 3600,2) -- secs to be able to use decimals in hours
local conditionDeviceState = dz.devices(nnn).state -- Your condition for sending the notification
local hoursBetweenNotifications = 2.5 -- two and a half hour
dz.log("delta time in hours: " .. deltaHours,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
if dz.data.state ~= conditionDeviceState then -- has state changed ?
dz.data.initialize("notificationSent") -- reset to initial date
dz.data.state = conditionDeviceState
dz.log("notificationSent reset to : " .. dz.data.notificationSent,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
if conditionDeviceState == "On" then -- Your condition for sending the notification
if deltaHours > hoursBetweenNotifications then
dz.log("Sending notification ",dz.LOG_DEBUG)
-- Replace this line with your notification
dz.data.notificationSent = dz.time.raw -- Store time of notification
else
dz.log("No notification to be send yet",dz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
end
end
}

The time isn't the problem, I think that you must check if the condition changed or not, so you only need to store the state in persistent data, not the time.

Could be but I prefer to code it like this. If the OP decides that notification should never be given again if state does not change then the var hoursBetweenNotifications should be set to 40*365*24 (and accept the risk that an extra notification is send in 40 years
)

Hmmm, papoo asked for:

So, in your code this test, " if dz.data.state ~= conditionDeviceState then" must
send the notification, not only reset the state.
For this I said that the time isn't important if you want to send the notification *every time* that the state change.

thanks waaren.
I test timedelay, it works fine on my script
now i'm going to test conditionDeviceState
