dzVents randomised times [Solved]

[mash47]

Here's an example from the wiki ..

Code: Select all

-- switch on for 2 minutes after a randomized delay of 1-10 minutes
device.switchOff().withinMin(10).forMin(2)

Are randomised actions different in dzVents and device/scene timers? The wiki states that the random action time is after the set time whereas the device/scene random action time is +/- around the set time.

Probably a language thingy.
I read

after a randomized delay of 1-10 minutes

as that it will be switched off somewhere between 1 and 10 minutes and that is indeed what this method does.

I'd say the comment should be something like: -- switch off for 2 minutes after a randomized period of 1-10s has passed.
And the delay is before the actual switching.
