Hi
i tried to adopt one of script to my purposes:

-- Temp control

local scriptVar = 'tempControl3'

return
{
    on =
    {
        timer =
        {
            'every minute',   -- domoticz events based on timers are triggered once a minute max.
        },
        customEvents = -- used to increase frequency to once every 30 seconds.
        {
            scriptVar,
        }
    },

        logging =   {
                        level         =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- If set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR you will only see something if dzVents encountered an error
                                                               -- So best to start with domoticz.LOG_DEBUG until your script works as expected.
                        marker        =   scriptVar,
                    },

           data =   {
                        lowTemperature  = { initial = true },
                    },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        if item.isTimer then
            dz.emitEvent(scriptVar).afterSec(30) -- this will trigger the customEvent in the On section and therewith increase the frequency to every 30 seconds
        end


        local insideTemperature = dz.devices('TempInside').temperature
        local outsideTemperature = dz.devices('TempOutside').temperature
        local stfan = dz.devices('FanIn')
        local safan = dz.devices('FanOut') -- this second use of 'switch' as varname does overwrite the previous one.

        local stfanIsOff = stfan.state == 'Off'
        local safanIsOff = safan.state == 'Off'
       
        local lowerTemperature = 25
        local higherTemperature = 45
        local comingFromLow = dz.data.lowTemperature
        local temperatureInRange = insideTemperature > lowerTemperature and insideTemperature < higherTemperature


        dz.data.lowTemperature = insideTemperature < lowerTemperature                   -- remember coming from low

        if stfanIsOff and safanIsOff and temperatureInRange and comingFromLow then              -- between 25-45 and coming from < 25 ==>> switchOn
          if insideTemperature < outsideTemperature then stfan.switchOn()
          elseif insideTemperature > outsideTemperature then safan.switchOn()
              end
        elseif not temperatureInRange then                    -- > 24 or < 20 switchOff
                if not stfanIsOff or not safanIsOff then 
                    safan.switchOff() 
                    stfan.switchOff() 
                end
            if insidetemperature > higherTemperature then                               -- No longer coming from low
                dz.data.lowTemperature = false
            end
        end
    end
}

After I manualy switch on fans and temperature(inside) falls below 25 degrees script can switch off, but there is no way to automaticaly switch them on after reaching 25 degrees
The setup is:
2 temperature sensors, and 2 fans ... the trick is that need to compare temperatures inside room and outside not to pump warmer air inside room in that case need to run fan pumping air from basement

Believe you can help
regards

If you need to debug a script a first step is always to look at log (and add some debug log statements when helpful)
Please try below script a couple of runs and share the produced loglines. Also explain what you expected to happen against what the script does (or does not)

Code: Select all

-- Temp control

local scriptVar = 'tempControl3'

return
{
    on =
    {
        timer =
        {
            'every minute',   -- domoticz events based on timers are triggered once a minute max.
        },
        customEvents = -- used to increase frequency to once every 30 seconds.
        {
            scriptVar,
        }
    },

        logging =   {
                        level         =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- If set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR you will only see something if dzVents encountered an error
                                                               -- So best to start with domoticz.LOG_DEBUG until your script works as expected.
                        marker        =   scriptVar,
                    },

            dz.emitEvent(scriptVar).afterSec(30) -- this will trigger the customEvent in the On section and therewith increase the frequency to every 30 seconds
        end

        dz.utils.dumpTable(dz.data)

        local s = {}

Hi I've returned to somewhat my initial script and found that problem is in 'commingFromLow' logic .. in fact I also needed some hysteresis to avoid frequent on/offs near cut temperature so lets say:

I need to run one of fans when temperature reaches lest say 27 degrees but to avoid on/off actions beetween 26.9 and 27.1 degrees I needed to set offTemprature at 26 degrees. I also check if outside temperature is not higher than inside -then run InFan in other case i run OutFan.
So I tried this script and it is somehow working

Code: Select all

-- Temp control

local scriptVar = 'tempControl3'

return
{
    on =
    {
        timer =
        {
            'every minute',   -- domoticz events based on timers are triggered once a minute max.
        },
        customEvents = -- used to increase frequency to once every 30 seconds.
        {
            scriptVar,
        }
    },

        logging =   {
                        level         =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- If set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR you will only see something if dzVents encountered an error
                                                               -- So best to start with domoticz.LOG_DEBUG until your script works as expected.
                        marker        =   scriptVar,
                    },

 --          data =   {
 --                       lowTemperature  = { initial = true },
 --                   },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        if item.isTimer then
            dz.emitEvent(scriptVar).afterSec(30) -- this will trigger the customEvent in the On section and therewith increase the frequency to every 30 seconds
        end


        local insideTemperature = dz.devices('TempInside').temperature
        local outsideTemperature = dz.devices('TempOutside').temperature
        local stfan = dz.devices('FanIn')
        local safan = dz.devices('FanOut') -- this second use of 'switch' as varname does overwrite the previous one.

        local stfanIsOff = stfan.state == 'Off'
        local safanIsOff = safan.state == 'Off'
       
        local onTemperature = 27
        local offTemperature = 26
--        local comingFromLow = dz.data.lowTemperature
--        local Temperature = insideTemperature > lowerTemperature and insideTemperature < higherTemperature


--        dz.data.lowTemperature = insideTemperature < lowerTemperature                   -- remember coming from low

        if insideTemperature > onTemperature then              -- between 25-45 and coming from < 25 ==>> switchOn
          if safanIsOff and insideTemperature < outsideTemperature then safan.switchOn() 
                elseif stfanIsOff and insideTemperature > outsideTemperature then stfan.switchOn()
              end
        elseif insideTemperature < offTemperature and ( not stfanIsOff or not safanIsOff ) then                    -- > 24 or < 20 switchOff
                if not stfanIsOff then 
                    stfan.switchOff() 
                    end
                if not safanIsOff then
                    safan.switchOff() 
                    end
--            if insideTemperature > higherTemperature then                               -- No longer coming from low
--                dz.data.lowTemperature = false
--            end
        end
    end
}

This seems to work
