How to set timer - need to have active two sensors in specific time. [Solved]

[nowy]

Hi All,
I need dzvents script that will activate the switch if at least two any motion sensors (from 10 sensors) are active simultaneously in last 5 minutes.
So if first sensor detects the move then timer starts and if in the next 5 minutes second sensor discovers move then switch will be activated.
To be honest I didn't find option in doc how to achive it.

To be honest I didn't find option in doc how to achieve it.

The wiki cannot give a dzVents solution for all automation challenges. It provides a description of the framework , methods and attributes you can use to create scripts up to your task.

I need dzvents script that will activate the switch if at least two any motion sensors (from 10 sensors) are active simultaneously in last 5 minutes.

Something like below should get you started.

Code: Select all

-- 2 out of 10

local sensors =           -- table with names of all your motion sensors
{
    'motion Sensor1',
    'motion Sensor2',
    'motion Sensor3',
    'motion Sensor4',
    'motion Sensor5',
    'motion Sensor6',
    'motion Sensor7',
    'motion Sensor8',
    'motion Sensor9',
    'motion Sensor10',
}

local theSwitch = 'the switch' -- change to name of your switch

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices = sensors,
    },

    data =
    {
        motionSensors =
        {
            initial = {},
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all OK
        marker = 'scene Control',
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        local function saveSensorActivationTime(str)
            dz.data.motionSensors[str] = os.time()
        end

        local function twoOutOfTen()
            local active = 0

            for _, sensorName in ipairs(sensors) do
                local seconds = os.time() -(  dz.data.motionSensors[sensorName] or 0 )
                if seconds < 300  then
                    dz.log(sensorName .. ' was activated ' .. seconds .. ' seconds ago.', dz.LOG_DEBUG )
                    active = active + 1
                    if active > 1 then return true end
                end
            end
        end

        if item.active then
            saveSensorActivationTime(item.name)
            if twoOutOfTen() then
                 dz.devices(theSwitch).switchOn() 
            end
        end
    end
}

Where should I place additional condition like if domoticz.devices('Alarm').state == 'On') then execute rest function so turn on the switch if at least these two sensors are active.

Where should I place additional condition like if domoticz.devices('Alarm').state == 'On') then execute rest function so turn on the switch if at least these two sensors are active.

There are multiple approaches to that but to keep it simple change

Code: Select all

if twoOutOfTen() then
    dz.devices(theSwitch).switchOn() 
end

to

Code: Select all

if twoOutOfTen() and dz.devices('Alarm').state == 'On'  then
    dz.devices(theSwitch).switchOn() 
end

Tested and ...
Script works well when I added two tested switches and manually activated them but when I use my motion sensors scripts starts and right away finish. What can be wrong?

It seems that your motion sensors do not report that they are active or your Alarm does not report it has the 'On' state.

If a script does not work as expected and the log does not show sufficient information to understand why, a first step to find a possible cause is to add more (debug)log statements... I added some in below script.

Code: Select all

local sensors =           -- table with names of all your motion sensors
{
    'Salon',
    'Garaż',
    'Kuchnia',
}

local theSwitch = 'Włamanie noc' -- change to name of your switch
local myAlarm = 'Alarm noc' -- change to name of your alarm

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices = sensors,
    },

    data =
    {
        motionSensors =
        {
            initial = {},
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all OK
        marker = 'scene Control',
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        local alarm = dz.devices(myAlarm)
        local switch = dz.devices(theSwitch)

        local function saveSensorActivationTime(str)
            dz.data.motionSensors[str] = os.time()
            dz.log('os.time() is now: ' .. os.time(), dz.LOG_DEBUG )
            if  _G.logLevel == dz.LOG_DEBUG then
                dz.utils.dumpTable(dz.data) -- show the content of persistent data
            end
        end

        local function twoOutOfTen()
            local active = 0

            for _, sensorName in ipairs(sensors) do
                if dz.data.motionSensors[sensorName] ~= nil then
                    local seconds = os.time() -  dz.data.motionSensors[sensorName]
                    dz.log(sensorName .. ' was activated ' .. seconds .. ' seconds ago.', dz.LOG_DEBUG )
                    if seconds < 300  then
                        active = active + 1
                    end
                 end
            end
            
            return active > 1 
        end

        dz.log(item.name .. ' state: ' .. tostring(item.state) .. '; active state: ' .. tostring(item.active), dz.LOG_DEBUG)

        if item.active then
            saveSensorActivationTime(item.name)
            dz.log(alarm.name .. ' state: ' .. tostring(alarm.state), dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            if twoOutOfTen() and alarm.state == 'On' then
                 dz.log('Switch ' .. switch.name .. ' will be activated',dz.LOG_DEBUG)

Sorry my fault I have also the temp+hum sensors behind the motion sensors - I disabled them to not confused log output.

Motion sensors are Light/Switch type (wireless 433MHz) with Sonoff RF Bridge.
