How to dim a light

Hello,
I created this test script to dim a light bulb, but it loops to quick.
IKEA Switch Brightness Down is a selector switch device so it has 4 states, Off, Click, Hold, Release
Code: Select all
return {
on = {
devices = {
'IKEA Switch Brightness Down'
}
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
local dimDevice = domoticz.devices(73)
local dimLevel = 100
if ( device.state == "Hold" )
then
repeat
dimLevel = dimLevel - 5
domoticz.log('Device ' .. dimLevel .. ' %', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
dimDevice.dimTo(dimLevel)
until ( device.state == "Release" or dimLevel < 5 )
end
if ( device.state == "Release" )
then
if (dimLevel == 0 )
then
dimDevice.switchOff()
end
domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' Release', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
end
end
}

You can't use this line?:
Will dim device 73 to 50%
Code: Select all
return {
on = {
devices = {
'IKEA Switch Brightness Down'
}
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
if ( device.state == "Hold" ) then
domoticz.devices(73).dimTo(5)
elseif ( device.state == "Release" ) then
domoticz.devices(73).switchOff()
end
domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' Release', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
end
end
}

As dzVents does not change the devices by itself but hands over that action to domoticz after the script has finished you cannot use the new state of a device inside a dzVents script that changed that state. The state simply had not changed yet. Same is true for classic domoticz Lua and Blockly

Okay, I have goten this far now and the diming works but I cant get it to stop
Code: Select all
return {
on = {
devices = { 'IKEA Switch Brightness Down' },
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = "IKEADown"
},
data = {
buttonState = { initial },
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
function sleep(s)
local ntime = os.clock() + s
repeat until os.clock() > ntime
end
local dimDevice = domoticz.devices(73)
local dimLevel = 100
if ( device.state == "Hold" )
then
repeat
dimLevel = dimLevel - 5
domoticz.log('Device ' .. dimLevel .. ' %', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
domoticz.log('Hold Button State ' .. domoticz.data.buttonState .. ' ', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
dimDevice.dimTo(dimLevel)
sleep(1)
until ( domoticz.data.buttonState == "Release" or dimLevel < 5 )
end
if ( device.state == "Release" )
then
domoticz.data.buttonState = "Release"
if (dimLevel == 0 )
then
dimDevice.switchOff()
end
domoticz.log('Release Button State ' .. domoticz.data.buttonState .. ' ', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' Release', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
end
end
}

Please have a look at this.
Code: Select all
return
{
on =
{
devices = { 'IKEA Switch Brightness Down' },
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
marker = "IKEADown"
},
execute = function(domoticz, device)
local dimDevice = domoticz.devices(73)
local dimLevel = 100
local delay = 0
if device.state == "Hold" then
repeat
delay = delay + 0.15
dimLevel = dimLevel - 1
domoticz.log('Set ' .. dimDevice.name .. ' to dimLevel '.. dimLevel .. '%, after ' .. delay .. ' seconds', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
dimDevice.dimTo(dimLevel).afterSec(delay)
until dimLevel <= 0
elseif device.state == "Release" then
domoticz.log('Stop dimming of ' .. dimDevice.name, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
dimDevice.cancelQueuedCommands()
if dimDevice.level == 0 then
dimDevice.switchOff()
end
end
end
}

end
}
Thanks, it worked.
Then to the next step to make it dynamic.
But that is another thread

Hello,
I join the thread because I try to find a way to dim a light with my Xiaomi Round 1 button switch.
Just to be sure, this script dim the light once the button is released ?
Varazir : have you found a way to dim the light when pushing the switch ?
