Switch lights on when dark [Solved]

[DRB2019]

I'am struggling with the (simple) scipt below.
I do not have much experience with dzvents, but i want to learn it.
I have a dusk sensor, and when it switches to "on" i need to switch on some light in our room.
(depending on the state of another light and between a time limit)

Any help would be appreciated!

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'Schemerschakelaar1',
			'Staande_lamp'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz,devices)
	    if  Schemerschakelaar1.state == 'On' and 
	        Staande_lamp.state == 'Off' and  
	        (domoticz.time =='Between 11:30 and 22:20')
        then
	        domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOn()
	        domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOn()
	        domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	    end
end
}

Assuming the name of your dusk-sensor switch is Schemerschakelaar1 it could look like

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'Schemerschakelaar1',
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'dusk sensor',
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        if  item.state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'Off' and domoticz.time.matchesRule('at 11:30-22:20') then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOn()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOn()
            domoticz.log('Device ' .. item.name .. ' was updated', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
        end
    end
}

Your script works perfect!
I modified it a bit, so when the dusk sensor goes to 'Off' the lights also switch off. (fluctuation of light in the house).
Is there also a possibility to send a telegram message when the lights go on?

Code: Select all

return
{
    on = {
        timer   = {'every 10 minutes'},   
        devices = {'Schemerschakelaar1'}
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR,  -- change to LOG_ERROR when ok (was LOG_DEBUG)
        marker = 'dusk sensor',
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        if  item.state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'Off' and domoticz.time.matchesRule('at 15:30-22:20')
        then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOn()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOn()
            domoticz.log('Device ' .. item.name .. ' was updated', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
        else
            if item.state == 'Off' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'On' and domoticz.time.matchesRule('at 15:30-22:20')
            then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOff()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOff()
            end
        end
    end
}

Yes.

please have a look at the dzVents wiki

notify(subject, message, priority, sound, extra, subsystem): Function. Send a notification (like Prowl). Priority can be like domoticz.PRIORITY_LOW, PRIORITY_MODERATE, PRIORITY_NORMAL, PRIORITY_HIGH, PRIORITY_EMERGENCY. For sound see the SOUND constants below. subsystem can be a table containing one or more notification subsystems. See domoticz.NSS_subsystem types.

why did you add?

Code: Select all

timer   = {'every 10 minutes'},  

It will not do anything in this script.

I only want to run the script every 10 minutes.
Just to avoid the lights switching on and off quickly
How can you realize this?

I will dig in the notify function and try it out!

        marker = 'dusk sensor',
    },

    execute = function(domoticz)
        local dusk = domoticz.devices('Schemerschakelaar1')

        if  dusk.state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'Off' then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOn()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOn()
            domoticz.log('Device ' .. item.name .. ' was updated', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
        elseif dusk.state == 'Off' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'On' then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOff()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOff()
        end
    end
}

It now works the way I want it!
Thanks !!
Also got telegram working: D, below the script I use.

Could look like

Code: Select all

return
{
    on = {
        timer   = {'every 10 minutes between 15:30 and 22:20'},  
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR,  -- change to LOG_ERROR when ok (was LOG_DEBUG)
        marker = 'dusk sensor',
    },

    execute = function(domoticz)
        local dusk = domoticz.devices('Schemerschakelaar1')

        if  dusk.state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'Off' then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOn()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOn()
            domoticz.notify('Donker', 'Het is donker binnen', PRIORITY_HIGH, SOUND_PERSISTENT, nil, domoticz.NSS_TELEGRAM)            
            domoticz.log('Device ' .. item.name .. ' was updated', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
        elseif 
            dusk.state == 'Off' and domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').state == 'On' then
            domoticz.devices('Staande_lamp').switchOff()
            domoticz.devices('Dressoir').switchOff()
        end
    end
}

Please use English on the forum.

PRIORITY_HIGH and SOUND_PERSISTENT are no valid constants in dzVents you probably meant

domoticz.PRIORITY_HIGH and domoticz.SOUND_PERSISTENT

also please note that the SOUND constants are only used for the pushover notification subsystem in domoticz. For other notification susbsystems this parameter is ignored.

[DRB2019]

I changed the script to

domoticz.PRIORITY_HIGH and domoticz.SOUND_PERSISTENT

Thanks!
