Alarm clock panel using virtual device

[Ucciogenerale 2]

After the implementation of the usefull scheduler provided from Robmac, I defined an alarm panel (see the attachment) in order to update the timing set in a global variable instead of changing it always through the code.

First of all you have to define a multiple global variable type HH:MM

Then you can define a virtual device with labels and buttons.

In the main loop of the virtual device you can set the code to show in the label.

e.g. in my case

---------------MAIN LOOP CODE-----------

local newora = fibaro:getGlobalValue("Sveglia")

H = string.sub(newora, 1, 2)

M = string.sub(newora, 4, 5)

if tonumber(H) < 23

then

H = tonumber(H) + 1

else H = 0

end

if string.len(H) < 2

then H = string.format("%s%s", '0', H)

else

end

newora = string.format("%s:%s", H, M)

fibaro:setGlobal("Sveglia", newora);

---------------END MAIN LOOP CODE-----------

and the buttons to change the hours and minutes (HH:MM)

e.g. in my case the wakeup time to start a scene using the Robmac scheduler

----------BUTTON 1 H[+]--------------------------------------

local newora = fibaro:getGlobalValue("Sveglia")

H = string.sub(newora, 1, 2)

M = string.sub(newora, 4, 5)

if tonumber(H) < 23

then

H = tonumber(H) + 1

else H = 0

end

if string.len(H) < 2

then H = string.format("%s%s", '0', H)

else

end

newora = string.format("%s:%s", H, M)

fibaro:setGlobal("Sveglia", newora);

----------END BUTTON 1 H[+]--------------------------------------

Consequently the other buttons are simple to retrieve.

------------------[H-]---------------------------

local newora = fibaro:getGlobalValue("Sveglia")

H = string.sub(newora, 1, 2)

M = string.sub(newora, 4, 5)

if tonumber(H) > 0

then

H = tonumber(H) - 1

else H = 23

end

if string.len(H) < 2

then H = string.format("%s%s", '0', H)

else

end

newora = string.format("%s:%s", H, M)

fibaro:setGlobal("Sveglia", newora);

------------------[H-] END---------------------------

------------------[M+]---------------------------

local newora = fibaro:getGlobalValue("Sveglia")

H = string.sub(newora, 1, 2)

M = string.sub(newora, 4, 5)

if tonumber(M) < 50

then

M = tonumber(M) + 10

else M = 0

end

if string.len(M) < 2

then M = string.format("%s%s", '0', M)

else

end

newora = string.format("%s:%s", H, M)

fibaro:setGlobal("Sveglia", newora);

------------------[M+] END---------------------------

------------------[M-]---------------------------

local newora = fibaro:getGlobalValue("Sveglia")

H = string.sub(newora, 1, 2)

M = string.sub(newora, 4, 5)

if tonumber(M) > 0

then

M = tonumber(M) - 10

else M = 50

end

if string.len(M) < 2

then M = string.format("%s%s", '0', M)

else

end

newora = string.format("%s:%s", H, M)

fibaro:setGlobal("Sveglia", newora);

------------------[M-] END---------------------------

Then to submit to the Robmac scheduler immediately the defined time (you can force but if I well understood the scheduler refreshes every 12 hours automatically) the last button "UPDATE".

------------Button UPDATE------------

fibaro:killScenes()

fibaro:startScene()

------------END Button UPDATE------------

PS: Due to a technical Fibaro's website problem I am not currently able to upload the picture sample above mentioned.

I will post it later as soon as the "Technical maintenance warning will disappear".

Looks good.

BTW the scheduler only updates the solar based events every 12 hrs.

Sunset early afternoon and sunrise early morning. By default 12:05 and 00:05.

If you live at extreme latitudes I guess you may want to configure these.

All events with fixed times are only loaded at start up so to save alarm timer you will need to restart the schedule.

I am currently still doing tests and further adjustments, so thanks for the clarification Robmac.

Following the same logic I am currently developing a temperature control, I am not happy with the Horstman approx (+- 1.0 C°), so I am going to start with something like this.

My intention is to define also an hysteresis parameter with a further label/buttons.

The label on top is the average of current temperature retrieved from the sensors.

The label below should be the setpoint.

So now I am going to manage also +- 0.1 C° approximation.

Hi,

Can you share your virtual device? how you show time in the first label?

thx

+1, please share the VD
