Is anybody missing on timers do something every 10 /second/minutes/hours/week...and etc.?

Doing every 10 seconds something is not wise.
System will be very busy.

but every minuut, hour, day, week is no problem with DZvents

Code: Select all

on = {
        timer = {
            'every minute',             -- causes the script to be called every minute

            'every <xx> minutes',       -- starting from xx:00 triggers every xx minutes
                                        -- (0 > xx < 60)
            'every hour',               -- 00:00, 01:00, ..., 23:00  (24x per 24hrs)

                'every 10 minutes between 20 minutes before sunset and 30 minutes after sunrise on mon,fri,tue on 20/5-18/8'

            -- or just do it yourself:
                function(domoticz)
                -- you can use domoticz.time to get the current time
                -- note that this function is called every minute!
                -- custom code that either returns true or false
                ...
            end
      },
    }

Thanks for reply. I know about it. But if i want timer which do something for ex. every 6 hours, so when you enter scripts its automatically reseted and its starting from zero (for example you need to repair or add script which has nothing to do with this script).

PS: not everybody is well oriented in scripts so can be difficult for them to apply something what is not copy/paste style

This is not how dzVents works.
If you use 'every 6 hours' , the script will be triggered at 06:00:00 , 12.00.00, 18:00:00 and 00:00:00

[GJKNL]

And 'every 360 minutes' ??

[waaren]

And 'every 360 minutes' ??

as per the wiki: the number of minutes in the rule must be > 0 and < 60

'every <xx> minutes', -- starting from xx:00 triggers every xx minutes
-- (0 > xx < 60)

every 360 minutes will generate below error

Error: dzVents: Error: (3.0.5) every 360 minutes is not a valid timer definition. Can only run every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30 minutes.

[GJKNL]

Yes, you'r right!

[jarmoboy]

As i said, iam not good at scripts and the script you postetd is surelly not copy/paste. For example if i want every 4 hours from device change state or whatever its not written there and i need to know dz events.

Or you can try pass2php. Pretty easy there to do something x secondes after last switch.
Just something like past('switchname')>3600 will do.
