Hi all,

Just to check if there is an easier way.

I have triggers (devices) and based on their state there are several different actions.
One of them is if switch triggered and Lux < maxlux then postpone switching the lights till XX minutesAfterSunset.

As far as I know the sunset time is in a function only available in minutes after midnight not as a real time.. is that correct?

As a work around I now do:

Code: Select all

            local hoursstring = dz.utils.stringSplit((dz.time.sunsetInMinutes+minutesAfterSunset)/60,".")
            local hours = hoursstring[1]
            local minutestring = dz.utils.stringSplit (hoursstring[2] / 100 * 60,".")
            local minutes = minutestring[1]
            local sunset = (hours..':'..minutes)

Which is working fine btw just wondering if it could be done smarter

Happy to learn.

Kind regards

Not necessarily smarter. But making use of what others invented for this.

Code: Select all

        local lz = dz.utils.leadingZeros
        local hours, minutes = minutesToTime(dz.time.sunsetInMinutes)
        print (lz(hours, 2) .. ':' .. lz(minutes, 2))
        
        local hours, minutes = minutesToTime(dz.time.sunriseInMinutes)
        print (lz(hours,2) .. ':' .. lz(minutes,2))

thnx that helps

Yes it definitely helps..
mine had a flaw that it only worked on whole numbers ..
could solve that easily with decimals checked but this is much easier
