Does anyone know why this SAJ solar script (which I found somewhere on this forum) runs several times in a row:

This is not a working dzVents script. It has parts of a dzVents but majority of the code is Classic Lua. You probably saved it as Lua All or Lua device triggered script.

As I wrote, I did not compose this script but found it on the forum (https://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... d8#p228445). Last post of this thread.
You are probably right about not being a Dzvents script, but sort of lua. I'm not experienced enough in this matter to tell.
The question remains: why is it triggered so often en what can be done about it?
The trigger says 'every minute' and that is what it does allright, but in between minutes there's something else that starts the script.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, my limited knowledge of scripting prevented me from noticing the answer was in your reply.
I changed the value in the "trigger" field from 'All' to 'Time' and everything is working now as it should.
Thanks and sorry to have bothered you.
