2 timers how to determine which trigged the script

In a dzVents script I have the following Timer block
Code: Select all
timer = {
'at 7:00 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri',
'at 20:00 on mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun',
}
Is there any way in the script to figure out which timer initiated the script?
A workaround could be that I create 2 different scripts but would like to not do that.

I think the time it was executed will tell you
So it the scripts run at 7.00 hours it will be the first trigger line. If run on 20.00 hrs it will be the second line.
But perhaps you mean something else....

Basically it comes down to I want to do X at 7:00 and want do do Y at 20:00.
So is there a way I can use it in an if statement

Aha
According the docs it should be possible with triggerInfo.trigger but I cannot find a working example......
.trigger: the timer rule that triggered the script if the script was called due to a timer event, or the security state that triggered the security trigger rule. See below for the possible timer trigger rules.
Perhaps you can do a search on the forum...

ow wait, timer rule should be on item.trigger from execute = function(domoticz, item, triggerInfo). TriggerInfo is declared obsolete
.trigger: . string. the timer rule, the security state, the customEvent or the http response callback string that actually triggered your script. E.g. if you have multiple timer rules can inspect trigger which exact timer rule was fired.

Yes that works
Code: Select all
return {
on = {
timer = {
'at 09:30', -- specific time
'at 09:31', -- specific time
}
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = 'template',
},
execute = function(domoticz, timer)
domoticz.log('Timer event was triggered by ' .. timer.trigger, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
}
Code: Select all

Pretty dumb from me as the default timer dzVents actually has that as example
