Alarm clock
Hello all

Do you know how to setup an alarm clock to action a switch ?

I'd like when the alarm in on , switch on a device like a coffee machine.
Do you know any device to do that?

Interesting idea. i'm no coder, but my hunch is that you could create a script that runs every day at a specific time.

to start you might try something like:

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		timer = {
            'at 6:30 on mon, tue, wed, thu, fri',
            'at 8:00 on sat, sun',
            },
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
		if (devices.on) then 
 			domoticz.notify('Time to get up!', 'Time to get up...', PRIORITY_HIGH, nil, nil)    
	end
end
}

then you could try creating a user specified parameter with get up times and get data from those in the script. and instead of notifications you could do commands to turn on lights, sockets or other devices. haven't done that yet, so i have no example code, but there is plenty on the forum, i guess. Hope this helps you get going. And I'll follow this to implement it myself as well

Cheers

Take a look at devices that have a ‘timer’ option. Most switches and other devices that can ‘set’ things.

For example your ‘coffeemachine’ switch could have its own timer.

If you want to ‘react’ to another device, than you can make use of the ‘notification’ system.

Should be possible to achieve this without the need to ‘program’ anything.

You can also look at Blockly/dzVents possibilities.

Let us know if and how you succeeded.
