Sure it's possible but what is the granularity you need? Does it need to be accurate on the second and should the counting sensor be updated every minute or is it enough to update the counter when "Woonkamer" is switched off?
Can you try below script?
Code: Select all
--[[
dzVents script to keep track of active device time
]]--
local scriptVar = 'Woonkamer' -- must be a switch- or light type of device.
return
{
on =
{
devices =
{
scriptVar,
},
timer =
{
'at *:29', -- twice / hour to update timer when device is on for a longer period.
'at *:59',
},
},
data =
{
[scriptVar] =
{
initial =
{
['active'] = false,
['lastSet'] = os.time(),
},
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all OK
marker = 'timeKeeper for ' .. scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local deltaSeconds = os.time() - dz.data[scriptVar].lastSet
local myCounter = dz.devices('Tijd_aan') -- define as counter and set to type: Counter, value Quantity: time, value Units: seconds
if item.isDevice and item.active and not(dz.data[scriptVar].active) then
dz.data[scriptVar].active = true
dz.data[scriptVar].lastSet = os.time()
dz.log('Counting seconds started', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
elseif item.isDevice and dz.data[scriptVar].active and not(item.active) then
dz.data[scriptVar].active = false
dz.log(item.name .. ' has been active for ' .. deltaSeconds .. ' seconds ', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
myCounter.updateCounter(myCounter.counter + deltaSeconds)
dz.data[scriptVar].lastSet = os.time()
elseif item.isTimer and dz.data[scriptVar].active then
dz.log('Updating the counter', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
myCounter.updateCounter(myCounter.counter + deltaSeconds)
dz.data[scriptVar].lastSet = os.time()
else
dz.log('No action needed', dz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
end
}
Yes but you will loose some accuracy..
Code: Select all
myCounter.updateCounter(myCounter.counter + deltaSeconds)Code: Select all
myCounter.updateCounter(dz.utils.round( ( myCounter.counter * 60 + deltaSeconds ) / 60 , 1 ) )No what i meant with loosing accuracy was this:
Had another look at it and below version limits the loss of accuracy by keeping track of the total number of seconds in the background.
Code: Select all

History:
20201026: Start coding
20201027: Add timer section to update when device is active for a longer period
20201027: Changed updating counter to minutes
20201028: Add keeping track of total seconds to improve accuracy
