Using dzVents it would look like below.

no need to do anything different with table weakDevices
just this

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on = 
    {
        timer = 
        {
            'every 10 minutes',
        },
    },

    execute = function(dz)
        weakDevices = 
        {
            'device-1', -- Change to name of your device(s) 
            'device-2',
            'device-3',
        }
        
        for _, name in ipairs(weakDevices) do
            local device = dz.devices(name)
            dz.log('Resending  ' .. device.state .. ' state to ' .. name, dz.LOG_INFO)
            if device.state == 'Off' then 
                device.switchOff().repeatAfterSec(30, 2) -- again after 30 and after 60 seconds
            else
                device.switchOn().repeatAfterSec(30, 2)
            end
        end
    end
}

Using dzVents it would look like below.

When not yet familiar with dzVents please start with reading Get started Before implementing (~ 5 minutes). Special attention please for "In Domoticz go to Setup > Settings > Other and in the section EventSystem make sure the checkbox 'dzVents disabled' is not checked. Also make sure that in the Security section in the settings you allow 127.0.0.1 to not need a password. dzVents uses that port to send certain commands to Domoticz. Finally make sure you have set your current location in Setup > Settings > System > Location, otherwise there is no way to determine nighttime/daytime state."

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on = 
    {
        timer = 
        {
            'every 10 minutes',
        },
    },

    execute = function(dz)
        weakDevices = 
        {
            'device-1', -- Change to name of your device(s) 
            'device-2',
            'device-3',
        }
        
        for _, name in ipairs(weakDevices) do
            local device = dz.devices(name)
            dz.log('Resending  ' .. device.state .. ' state to ' .. name, dz.LOG_INFO)
            if device.state == 'Off' then 
                device.switchOff()
            else
                device.switchOn()
            end
        end
    end
}

2020-01-01 16:00:02	On
2020-01-01 16:00:02	Off
2020-01-01 15:48:01	Off
2020-01-01 15:36:01	Off

At 2020-01-01 16:00:02 my switch turned on and immediately was turned off. The switch state is off so the next repeat is off command.

Unfortunately there is nothing dzVents can do to prevent this from happening.

        os.execute("sleep " .. math.random(5,15))

2020-01-02 10:48:06	Off
2020-01-02 10:36:10	Off
2020-01-02 10:24:12	Off

        os.execute("sleep " .. math.random(5,15))

This will cause a random delay between 5 and 15 seconds. dzVentz script is not triggered at 00.

This will work for switches triggered by other time based scripts but ( although unlikely ) it might fail for manual switched switches.
What is worse, is that the sleep command will block the entire event system for 5-15 seconds as the event system is single threaded and therefore will not process other events until this script has finished. You will see some complaining log lines like

Warning!, lua script /home/pi/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua has been running for more than 10 seconds

If that does not bather you it's OK but a more elegant approach would be to use an async approach with a openURL call or by using a dummy variable or device to re-trigger this script after some seconds.
