Execute bash from Blocky

[void]

Hi,
TL;DR
I've created several LUA scripts which execute bash scripts on their turn.
It works pretty nice, but I can't add a 'wait' or 'sleep' in it without Domoticz complaining about it.

2015-12-20 21:37:06.709 Error: EventSystem: Warning!, lua script /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/script_device_TG_on_Alarm-Door.lua has been running for more than 10 seconds

I need the sleep for timing issues I can't seem to fix.

Blocky allows '<action> after <seconds>' which would solve my issue.
However, I can't seem to find how to start a bash script from Blocky events.

Full
I use bash scripts to make snapshots from my stream-only webcam with ffmpeg, and curl for posting the created snapshot via my Telegram bot to me.
My phone presence script runs as a script_device AND as script_time in the hope it would detect my presence soon enough.
However, it happens quite regular that my presence is detected when I'm 20 to 40 seconds in my house.
This would trigger an 'alarm' (being the snapshot and TG message) since my phone sets the security panel to disarm.

Really? Nobody ever encountered such issues?

+1 for me!

I really need that feature implemented

With kind regards

When you presence script runs as a shell/perl/python script you do not have that issues. Lua is intended do only run short.

I really need this feature too!! Thank for help!

I personally hate to make virtual switches for every issue like this but, again, it's easy work-around.

[jin]

Yes I definitively aggree, it's easy "workaround"
But creating many and many virtual switch add un-necessary complexity

This feature implemented will add an easy, fast and clean way to execute script based on events.

with kind regards

Jin got the point.
Hope this feature should be considered in future by developers!

Thank you!

The "After 30 seconds" feature in blocky is for things that, when done from LUA, would be put in the commandarray. In LUA you can put strings like "On AFTER 30" in the commandarray. But in the commandarray you cannot put bash script execution as far as I know. So I think it would not be trivial to implement this feature in blocky the same way as the other "After x" functions.

Maybe it's possible to implement bash scripts as a device in Domoticz. Then you could activate it trough the commandarray and it would automaticly work with the existing blocky featureset I guess.
