timer function

[pgas37]

Hi,

I have created a script to compare the gross/net supply of solar panels to the electricity consumption from the grid, resulting in the net supply/consumption of a day. Because there is a constant change in supply and consumption, the script generates an up-to-date report every few seconds and therefore a very large log file. I wanted to limit that somewhat by building in a timer (2 minutes), but the timer function does nothing.
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong here?

Thanks
Paul

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
	
	
		timer = {
			'every 2 minutes'
		},
	
	
	
	
		devices = {
			'Energy xxx60',
		    --'kWh Meter Inverter 1',                          	-- 'Power L1 Inverter 1' -- solar kwh bruto
	        'ModbusTcp - Total Energy',
		}
	},
	


	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
		marker = '2solar=====================',
	},
	

	execute = function(domoticz,device)
	--	domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
		

	local usage = domoticz.devices('Energy xxx60').usage
	local LeveringNetVandaag = domoticz.devices('Energy xxx60').counterDeliveredToday
	--local SolarVandaag = domoticz.devices('kWh Meter Inverter 1').counterToday
	local SolarVandaag = domoticz.devices('ModbusTcp - Total Energy').counterToday
	local VerbruikNetVandaag = domoticz.devices('Energy xxx60').counterToday
	
	
	domoticz.log('Device60 usage actualWatt ................... = ' ..usage, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	domoticz.log('Device Solaredge: Bruto levering zonnepanelen = ' ..SolarVandaag, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	domoticz.log('Device60: Verbruik uit electriciteitsnet..... = ' ..VerbruikNetVandaag, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	domoticz.log('Device60: Netto Levering aan electiciteitsnet = ' ..LeveringNetVandaag, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	
	local nettoInternverbruik = SolarVandaag - LeveringNetVandaag
	--local eigenverbruik60 = countertoday60 - LeveringNetto
	local nettoverbruik_levering = VerbruikNetVandaag - LeveringNetVandaag 

   -- domoticz.log('nettoverbruik ............................... = ' ..nettoverbruik, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
 

 
    T1 = ('+ Bruto levering zonnepanelen. = '..SolarVandaag.. '</u><br>')
    T2 = ('- Device60: Netto levering net ... = '..LeveringNetVandaag..'</u><br>')
    T3 = ('= Netto intern verbruikt ..............= '..nettoInternverbruik..'</u><br><br>')
    T4 = ('.........Device60: Verbruik uit net......= '..VerbruikNetVandaag.. '</u><br>')
    T5 = ('....................= Device60: Netto levering net = '..LeveringNetVandaag..'</u><br>')
    T6 = ('.....................+ Netto verbruik/levering........ = '..nettoverbruik_levering.. '</u><br>')
    
    --T5 = ('........................nettoverbruik in kWh......................... = '..nettoverbruik..'</u><br>')
    
    domoticz.devices('Netto energie verbruik').updateText(T1 ..T2 ..T3 ..T4 ..T5 ..T6)
    
    domoticz.devices('Netto Energie opbr/verbr').updateEnergy(nettoverbruik_levering)
  
    
   
		
	end
}

If you only want the script to run every 2 minutes you have to delete the on devices trigger section ( devices= {} ) else the script will run on every device change and every 2 minutes.

Oké,

That simple.
I thought that the timer function, that is first in the script would also be executed first and thus first pause the script for 2 minutes.

Thanks

Hi, i saw you are using points trying to align your text.
Try this; replace:

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('Netto energie verbruik').updateText(T1 ..T2 ..T3 ..T4 ..T5 ..T6)

With this in your script;

Code: Select all

local message = T1 .. T2 .. T3 .. T4 .. T5 .. T6
local style = '<span style="font-family: Consolas; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">' .. message .. '</span>'    
domoticz.devices('Netto energie verbruik').updateText(style)

thanks,

but your solution is only a amendment in style.

i replaced the dots by " " which resulted in

The adjusted code:

Code: Select all

    T1 = ('+ Bruto levering zonnepanelen&nbsp; = '..SolarVandaag.. '<br>')
    T2 = ('- Device60: Netto levering net = '..LeveringNetVandaag..'<br>')
    T3 = ('= Netto intern verbruikt&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; = '..nettoInternverbruik..'<br><br><br>')
    T4 = ('&nbsp;&nbsp;Device60: Verbruik uit net &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;= &nbsp;'..VerbruikNetVandaag.. '<br>')
    T5 = ('- Device60: Netto levering net&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;= &nbsp;'..LeveringNetVandaag..'<br>')
    T6 = ('= Netto verbruik/levering&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;= '..nettoverbruik_levering.. '<br><br>')
 
 
    local message = T1 .. T2 .. T3 .. T4 .. T5 .. T6
    local style = '<span style="font-family: Consolas; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">' .. message .. '</span>'    
    domoticz.devices('Netto energie verbruik #update 2min').updateText(style)
