Summer/Winter/Month Variable

[wwojt 0]

Hi,

 

I would like to create the variable to change in therms of what month is and the moment.

 

Do you have any LUA script i could use to implement into my scenes?

 

For example if  1st June set variable to JUNE. If 1st July set variable to July.

 

Thanks.

coudn't this be done by say a monhly triggered counter for variable? or something.

 

say add 1 each midnight on say 20th,

(obdobi = monthlystate)

than have another variable that will switch between seasons.

in order to switch between seasons you might want to have few other scenes :

----------------------------------------

if

monthlystate = 3,

than

season = spring,

----------------------------------------

if

monthlystate = 6,

than

season = summer,

 

----------------------------------------

if

montlystate = 9

than

season = fall,

 

----------------------------------------

if montly state = 12

than season = winter

and

monthly state counter = 0)

----------------------------------------

 

sorry for ammount of scenes but its kinda nescessary IF you want it to show words, otherwise just use numeric variable to give you +1 each 4 months and work with it that way = thats 2 variables and 2 scnes.

Use the 'TimeOfDay' script as baseline and modify it to do 'MonthOfYear' and while at it, add conditional checking to update a global variable 'SeasonOfYear'.

 

I see a single script easily handling this.

typo in code

[chaicka 195]

If system already has other time-based scene(s) that update global variables like 'TimeOfDay', use the script Sankotronic provided but modify it to be triggered by global variable 'TimeOfDay' so that when time of day = sleep (or dawn/morning, or whatever deem suitable), this Month-cum-SeasonOfYear script Sankotronic will run. That way, the system has lesser time-based scenes which translate to better 'behaving' system.

Hi People,

Sorry I'm a noob but I'm trying to get this work.

I' need some help with this code.

I've created a global variable named
"Season State" with the corresponding seasons such as "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", "Winter".

and

"MonthState" with all months of the Year
Unfortunately, the script is not working.

I get the following message in the debug screen:

 

"line32 ')' expected (to close'( 'at line31) near then

[DEBUG] 11:46:02: line 32: ')' expected (to close '(' at line 31) near 'then'

 

--[[ 
%% autostart 
%% properties
%% globals
--]]
local debug = true;

local function log(str) if debug then fibaro:debug(str); end; end

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart") then
  
  -- check script instance count in memory 
if (tonumber(fibaro:countScenes()) > 1) then 
    log("Script already running.");
    fibaro:abort(); 
end

  log("HC2 start script at " .. os.date());
while true do
local currenttime  = os.date('*t');
local currentmonth = currenttime['month']
local currentwday  = currenttime['wday']
local currentday   = currenttime['day']
local currenthour  = currenttime['hour'];
local currentmin   = currenttime['min'];
local months = {'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'}
local weekday      = {'Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Sunday'}

  -- if it is 1st day of the month and just after midnight then update month & season
if ((currentday == 1) and (currenthour == 0) and (currentmin == 0) 
then
    fibaro:setGlobal("MonthState", months[currentmonth]);
if ( currentmonth >= 3 and currentmonth <= 5) then
      fibaro:setGlobal("SeasonState", "Spring");
elseif ( currentmonth >= 6 and currentmonth <= 8) then
      fibaro:setGlobal("SeasonState", "Summer");
elseif  ( currentmonth >= 9 and currentmonth <= 11) then  
      fibaro:setGlobal("SeasonState", "Autumn");
else  
      fibaro:setGlobal("SeasonState", "Winter");
end
end

  -- if it is midnight then update weekday
if ((currenthour == 0) and (currentmin == 0) then
    fibaro:setGlobal("WeekState", weekday[currentwday];
end
  Fibaro:sleep(60000) -- sleep for one minute
end -- loop

Better to use Code-block...

 

But your bug is here:

There is a closing bracket missing.

Hi Alex,

 

Thanks, but can you help me where to put the missing bracket?

as I said, I'm a noob 

 

[Alex 31]

Please login or register to see this code.

I did add three closing brackets (line 28, 42, 43) and one "end" (last line).

 

You must have deleted them somehow.

Every opening bracket must have a closing one later on so that the parser knows what belongs together or where this part of them command ends.

 

I did not check if there is any other bug or if I missed another bracket

Oke, this is getting almost right but in the debug window i get:

"debug line 45; attempt to index global fibaro (a nil value)"

 

Thanks!

as for me it's look like crazy, I should waiting Monday or Midnight for setting. 

 

IMHO

1st note- I think easy to check last modified property like 

local lastChangeGlobVar = tonumber(((os.time()) - tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalModificationTime("MonthState"))));

2nd note - do not use strong comparison like

((currenthour == 0) and (currentmin == 0)) 'cuz you have chance to lose moment for start, for some reasons

Hi 10der,

 

You are absolutely right in both notes. Checking when global is last changed can be used in many cases, but can you give me an example for this code where one scene is constantly running just to adjust some time based global variables?

 

Regarding second note you are right, it is better to use different approach because strong comparison is due to be missed if for example HC is restarted at that moment.

Does the following code looks better for you or you can give me some advice how to do it better:

Above scene is still in development phase and I'm missing some more features and descriptions for global variables used. It is working perfectly for me but I want to improve code so that can be used on any system meaning that users will only have to change setup that suits their need without needing to change code itself.

or

1. -- We want to get the date of the last modification of the global variable named 'counter'
2. local value, modTime = fibaro:getGlobalModificationTime('counter')
3. -- if the value of the global variable has changed is more than 10 seconds
4. if os.time() - value >= 10 * 1000 then
5. fibaro:debug('The modification occurred over 10s')
6. else
7. fibaro:debug('The modification occurred is less than 10s')
8.

@Sankotronic, @Alex,  thanks this works for now.

The debug windows remains clean of errors.

Thank you for helping people.

 

I continue to follow this topic.

Hi,

 

I've tested your script, and I'm sorry to say I'm not a LUA programmer. I'm trying to learn, though.

 

When I try your script, I keep getting an error on row 74 (  code: local presentStateMapping = {Home="Home", Away="Away", Holiday="Holiday"};  )

Error message: "line 74: bad argument #1 to 'match' (string expected, got nil)

 

I've made the Global Variables mentioned in the script. Can you tell me where to correct this?

 

Thank you for all your time and help here,

Cheers

Hi,

 

This sounds like some typo. Can you please copy/paste this scene from your HC and send me on PM to check.

[Sjakie 135]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to simplify my Global Variable scenes but I do something wrong

Can some one point me?

The Global Variables are created and in second instance I added the values no luck

scene runs without errors

Your 'elseif' is incorrect. A month cannot be both >= 11 AND <= 3. Change 'and' to 'or'.

 

Or just lose the 'elseif' line and replace with 'else'.

 

if (currentmonth >= 4 and currentmonth <= 10) then

  fibaro:setGlobal("StookSeizoenen", "Zomers")

else

  fibaro:setGlobal("StookSeizoenen", "Winters")

end

I wrote this which may help if your on HC3

 

Create a Variable Season

 

Declarations:

{

  conditions = { {

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "match",

      property = "cron",

      type = "date",

      value = { "01", "00", "*", "*", "*", "*" }

    } },

  operator = "all"

}

 

Actions:

local tSeason = {"Spring","Summer","Autumn","Winter"}

 

function WhichSeason ()

    local tNow = os.date("*t")

    local dayofyear = tNow.yday

    local season 

        if (dayofyear >= 79) and (dayofyear <172)then season = tSeason[1]

        elseif (dayofyear >=172) and (dayofyear <266) then season = tSeason[2]

        elseif (dayofyear >=266) and (dayofyear <355) then season = tSeason[3]

        else season = tSeason[4]

        end

    return season

end

 

local currentSeason = WhichSeason()

fibaro.setGlobalVariable("Season", tostring(currentSeason))

--fibaro.debug("Season", fibaro.getGlobalVariable("Season"))
