Switch light/switches to Off with one switch

Hi,
I have in my home several lamps en switches running with dzvents timebased scripts. When I go to bed, in most cases the most of lamps and switches are on because there are persons in my household which going to bed much later then I
I've tried to program a device who can do this, but as soon all lights/switches are off one minute later they are activited by there own script and the light/switches go on. What I want: I am alone at home and a lamp is programmed to go off at 01:00. I am going to bed at 23:00 and I want the lamp switched off. How do I program this ? If only I have a hint in the right direction
Thanx in advance.

I guess you need to modify this 'own' script so the logic in the script can check if the lights need to be switched on in this case.

Hi Waaren,
I give you an example of one of my scripts. Maybe you can piont me out in the right direction.
Thanx.
Code: Select all
return {
active = true,
on =
{
timer =
{
'20 minutes before sunset',
'between sunset and 60 minutes after sunset',
'between 60 minutes after sunset and 120 minutes after sunset',
'between 120 minutes after sunset and 23:50',
'at 23:50'
},
devices =
{
'light'
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_INFO, -- set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all ok
marker = 'Lamp bank',
},
execute = function(dz, timer )
local light = dz.devices('Switch- lamp boven bank')
if dz.time.matchesRule('20 minutes before sunset') then
light.dimTo(5)
elseif dz.time.matchesRule('between sunset and 60 minutes after sunset') then
light.dimTo(20)
end
if dz.time.matchesRule('between 60 minutes after sunset and 120 minutes after sunset') then
light.dimTo(25)
elseif dz.time.matchesRule('between 120 minutes after sunset and 23:50') then
light.dimTo(15)
end
if dz.time.matchesRule('at 23:50') then
light.switchOff().checkFirst()
end
end
}

Sure,
this extra script will be triggered on a master switch
Code: Select all
return
{
on =
{
timer =
{
'at 05:13', -- a quiet time on a moment that you know everyone is sleeping (or at least should) to reset the master switch
},
devices =
{
'masterSwitch', -- virtual switch to trigger a Scene that will switch all lights off
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG -- set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all ok
marker = 'One switch to rule them all',
},
execute = function(dz, item )
local master = dz.devices('masterSwitch')
local allLights = dz.scenes('All lights Off')
if item.isTimer then
master.switchOff().checkFirst().silent()
elseif item.active then
allLights.switchOn() -- trigger the scene that switches off all lights
end
end
}
this is your modified script that will evaluate the state of the masterswitch to decide if any further action is required
Code: Select all
return
{
active = true,
on =
{
timer =
{
'20 minutes before sunset',
'between sunset and 60 minutes after sunset',
'between 60 minutes after sunset and 120 minutes after sunset',
'between 120 minutes after sunset and 23:50',
'at 23:50'
},
devices =
{
'light'
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all ok
marker = 'Lamp bank',
},
execute = function(dz, timer )
local master = dz.devices('masterSwitch') -- virtual switch to trigger a Scene that will switch all lights off
if master.active then
dz.log('Rest of script will be ignored because master switch is activated and every light should stay off',dz.LOG_DEBUG )
return
end
local light = dz.devices('Switch- lamp boven bank')
if dz.time.matchesRule('20 minutes before sunset') then
light.dimTo(5)
elseif dz.time.matchesRule('between sunset and 60 minutes after sunset') then
light.dimTo(20)
end
if dz.time.matchesRule('between 60 minutes after sunset and 120 minutes after sunset') then
light.dimTo(25)
elseif dz.time.matchesRule('between 120 minutes after sunset and 23:50') then
light.dimTo(15)
end
if dz.time.matchesRule('at 23:50') then
light.switchOff().checkFirst()
end
end
}

Hi Waaren,
Thanks for the help. If I'am correct then the first script checks at the given time if the masterswitch is off, if not then the second script is activated and causus the lamp to switch to OFF.
But when I'am allone at home and I want the lamp by masterswitch go off before the off-time in its own script ?

No that is not how it works.
The first script is triggered by the masterswitch and triggers a scene (that you have to create) That scene should switch Off all lights.
The second script (a modified version of yours) only does something when the masterswitch is Off.

It seems that you included the master Switch as one of the devices in the scene. That will not work.

Hi Waaren,
It took me some time before I could test the script but I can tell you now that it's working. As you had noted I had for some strange reason the masterswitch included in the scene 'Alles uit' . After removing the switch the script works !
Thanxs for your help.
