I want to turn on my outdoor lights at night. Unfortunately, for some reason, it always turns on, ignoring the 'at nighttime' option. What do I mess up?

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
      timer = { 'at nighttime' },
      devices = { 'terasz mozgas' }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, item)
      if (item.isTimer) then
         -- the timer was triggered
         domoticz.devices('terasz').switchOff()
         domoticz.devices('Pince elott kulteri l').switchOff()
      elseif (item.isDevice and item.active) then
         -- it must be the detector
         domoticz.devices('terasz').switchOn().forMin(6)
         domoticz.devices('Pince elott kulteri l').switchOn().forMin(6)
      end
    end
}

Thx for reporting. Seems like a bug in dzVents. Until fixed you can use

Code: Select all

'every minute at nighttime'

if you want the script to be processed every minute during nighttime or

Code: Select all

'at sunset'

if you want the script to be processed only at the start of nighttime

BTW. you are now switching the devices Off at nighttime in your script

Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately, "every minute at nighttime" and "at sunset" doesn't work either.

Checked this again but it is working as expected. Are you sure Eventsystem and dzVents are enabled ? I tested with the script below so you should see lines in the log like:

        timer =

        },
        devices = 
        { 
            'terasz mozgas' 
        }
    },
    
    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'nighttime',
    },
    
    execute = function(dz, item)
        dz.log('item.trigger is: ' .. item.trigger,dz.LOG_FORCE)
        if item.isTimer then
            -- the timer was triggered
            dz.devices('terasz').switchOff()
            dz.devices('Pince elott kulteri l').switchOff()
        elseif item.isDevice and item.active) then
            -- it must be the detector
            dz.devices('terasz').switchOn().forMin(6)
            dz.devices('Pince elott kulteri l').switchOn().forMin(6)
        end
    end

Yes, Eventsystem and dzVents enabled. I modified the script as suggested, but the nighttime log will not be:

i checked the raspberry clock with the date command, ok.
The problems came when updating to the new stable, now I switched to devel branch but it didn't solve.
I don't understand where the problem might be.
Thank you for your help, sorry for my bad English.

Maybe I don't understand the intention of the script correctly. Can you describe in words what you expect the script to do during daytime and what you expect it to do during nighttime ?

Only turn on the lamp for 5 minutes at night when the motion sensor is turned on, currently it always turns on, not just at night.

You should use this syntax in the on = section to achieve that.

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on = 
    {
        devices = 
        { 
            ['terasz mozgas'] = { 'at nighttime' },
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all works OK
        marker = 'device at nighttime',
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local terasz = dz.devices('terasz')
        if item.active then
            terasz.cancelQueuedCommands()
            terasz.switchOn().checkFirst()
            terasz.switchOff().afterSec(300)
        end
    end
}

Thank you waaren!

Your code is working flawlessly. With that in mind, I will review the others as well.
