Timer script to turn off/on device

Posted: Saturday 17 October 2020 10:22

Hi,

I want to create a dzvents script that only turnes off a switch beween a time frame (02:00 - 06:30) and also If all smartphones are offline for 20 minutes (away) outside the time frame. I have installed iDetect plug-in, which also creates an on/off switch iDetect-home if all devices are online.

IF time is 02:00, turn off switch, and stays off even if iDetect-home switch is ON between 02:00-06:00
ELSEIF iDetect-home switch is off for 20 minutes, turn off switch
IF time is 06:30 and/or iDetect-home switch is on, turn on Switch.

Does anyone has an example script?

Something like this?

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on = 
    {
        timer =
        {
            'at 02:00',
            'at 06:30',
        },
        
        devices = 
        {
            ['iDetect-home'] = 
            { 
                'at 06:00-02:00',
            },
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all OK
        marker = 'Time/Phones controlled switch',
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local switch = dz.device('switch') -- change to name of switch
        local iDetect = dz.device('iDetect-home')

        if dz.time.matchesRule('at 02:00-06:00') then
           switch.switchOff.checkFirst()
        elseif iDetect.state == 'Off' then
           switch.switchOff.afterMin(20)
        elseif iDetect.state == 'On' then 
            switch.cancelQueuedCommands()
            if dz.time.matchesRule('at 06:30-01:59') then
                switch.switchOn().checkFirst()
            end
        end
            
    end
}

Wow,that is quick, thanx!

I guess that 6:00 Must be 0.6:30?

Code: Select all

if dz.time.matchesRule('at 02:00-06:00') then
I did not understand how to set up the timer, just add the start and end times and the code below does the trick?:

Code: Select all

dz.time.matchesRule('at 02:00-06:30')

No; according to you description is should be 06:00 but you can change it to whatever you like.

the at 02:00 and at 06:30 will trigger the script only at those moments.

The ['iDetect-home'] = { 'at 06:00-02:00', }, will trigger the script if the iDetect-home is switched between 06:00 and 02:00 (next day)

btw. noticed that I forgot the at on some places in my original post. Corrected it there now.

You are right I mistyped it in my description it should be 06:30...
I have changed it and also added the 'at ' at those places thanx!

One more thing, this switch is turning on/off an electrical cat fence.
What happens if I turn off the switch manually (for maintenance), will this script turn it back on?

Yes. If the switch iDetect is updated to On between 6:00 and 2:00 (next day)

Well I have tested this and the script is not even triggered if I turn off the switch manually, the iDetect-home switch state was already On. Or is the script only triggered if the iDetect switch went from off to on or on to off?

I also tested it and the script is triggered (and produced and error that I corrected below. If the script is not triggered at all, something else is causing it.

Hi waaren,

The script was triggered last night and it produced an error, probably the same:

Code: Select all

2020-10-21 02:00:00.395 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.0.11) Time/Phones controlled switch: An error occurred when calling event handler Electric_Fence_On_Off

What part did you modify, because I can’t find the difference? Where is item used in the script as in function(dz, item)?

This is my current script:

Code: Select all

return

    on =

                'at 06:30-02:00',
            },
        },
    },

        local switch = dz.device('Stopcontacten') -- change to name of switch
        local iDetect = dz.device('iDetect-Anyone')

                switch.switchOn().checkFirst()
            end
        end
        dz.notify(switch.name,'Cat fence (' .. switch.name .. ') is turned: '.. switch.state ..'!', dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,'','',dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)

What kind of function is: switch.cancelQueuedCommands()?

👍Good catch
What kind of function is: switch.cancelQueuedCommands()?
From the dzVents wiki

cancelQueuedCommands(): Function. Cancels queued commands. E.g. you switch on a device after 10 minutes: myDevice.switchOn().afterMin(10). Within those 10 minutes you can cancel that command by calling: myDevice.cancelQueuedCommands().

Hi waaren,

I am testing the script, something is not working correct.

Case 1: "Stopcontacten" is turned OFF at 02:00 which is correct, but also OFF at 06:30 ?? it should be turned ON at 06:30
Case 2: with the "iDetect-Anyone" switch the following happens:

1. After "iDetect-Anyone" is OFF, "Stopcontacten" is turned ON.... I also instantly get a telegram message that "Stopcontacten" is ON.....but also after 20m an ON message??? While "Stopcontacten" should be turned OFF.

2. When "iDetect-Anyone" is ON, "Stopcontacten" is turned ON....only one telegram message

This is the LOG for Case 2:

Case 1: "Stopcontacten" is turned OFF at 02:00 which is correct, but also OFF at 06:30 ?? it should be turned ON at 06:30
Below modified script should solve Case 1 issue but not yet the unexpected notifications. It's not completely clear to me in which cases you want to receive a notification.

Code: Select all

--Script to turn off the cat electric fence (Stopcontacten) between 02:00-06:30 or if nobody is at home

return 
{
    on = 
    {
        timer =
        {
            'at 02:00',
            'at 06:30',
        },
        
        devices = 
        {
            ['iDetect-Anyone'] = 
            { 
                'at 06:30-02:00',
            },
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all OK
        marker = 'Time/Phones controlled switch',
    },

    execute = function(dz)
        local switch = dz.devices('Stopcontacten') -- change to name of switch
        local iDetect = dz.devices('iDetect-Anyone')

        if dz.time.matchesRule('at 02:00-06:29') then
           switch.switchOff().checkFirst()
        elseif iDetect.state == 'Off' then
           switch.switchOff().afterMin(20)
		   return
        elseif iDetect.state == 'On' then 
            switch.cancelQueuedCommands()
            if dz.time.matchesRule('at 06:30-01:59') then
                switch.switchOn().checkFirst()
            end
        end
        dz.notify(switch.name,'Cat fence (' .. switch.name .. ') is turned: '.. switch.state ..'!', dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,'','',dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)
        dz.log('Cat fence (' .. switch.name .. ') is turned: '.. switch.state ..'!', dz.LOG_INFO)
    end
}

Thanx, I will try tonight!

Regarding notifications:
dz & telegram notifications every ON and OFF.
In case of the iDetect-Anyone OFF after 20min, only notify OFF after 20m
But if iDetect-Home is ON again within those 20m, no notification is needed

Hi waaren,

Tested your script by turning off wifi of all 3 phones...so iDetect-Anyone is OFF now.
20min has not been passed yet. This is the log:

dz LOG produces "Stopcontacten state: On"....which is correct because it should be turned OFF after 20min
Telegram: no notification yet, which is correct because it should be send after 20min.

b.t.w. I also got a dz notification in the LOG which I don't recognize?:

Code: Select all

2020-10-24 11:18:20.760 Status: ::ffff:192.168.1.1 -> handle abandoned timeout (status=6)
this is a message from my main router...I always open domoticz in the browser with a safe hpps connection (duckdns)
Does that procduce this message because each command in dz passes the WAN connection?

OK after 20min the script turns "Stopcontacten state: OFF", but no Telegram message is send

can you try again after changing

Code: Select all

    execute = function(dz)
to

Code: Select all

    execute = function(dz, item)
If still not OK then please continue via PM.
