Timer configuration

[Economyhq 2]

Hi Everybody!

1. I´ve got extremly problems with Timers. When i set a Timer which works it is it not possible to do the opposite from that state.

2. And many Timers dont work at all.

Example for 1)

Close a gate every day at 21:00 - if i come home after 21:00 and want to open the the Gate via Remote control (hc2 knows the state because of an door /Window Sensor) it closes at ones. i want that if i tell a timer "at an exact time" the command only at that EXACTLY Time.

Example for 2)

To fill an Variable for "Nighttime" on or off i want to use Sunrise and Sunset. Look at the scene below, this scene only runs when i press "run" by my self. If i take an exactly time it doesn`t work too. (only by Pressing)

any suggestions are very welcome

Example 1 : can you post that scene ? Lua or blocks ?

Example 2 : Are your local settings ok and did you mark the "Start when Homecenter 2 starts" option ?

Hi

Have the same issue

- timer to run every 30 minutes via Lua blocks - must be constantly running as when I turn device on immediately turns off.

Clearly can workaround this with Lua and sleep but a bit concerned if all timers are running not according to schedule as to the overhead to the Hc2.

? bug - and may have performance impact.

Been reported on bugzilla?

[GlennNZ 0]

Not as yet (or by me yet)

Can someone confirm that this is real? And not just me/us

If so should get urgent bugzilla report

Hi,

Example 1 : The scene is Block. Please look below. "Elkom.Area" is an Fibaro Door/Window Sensor and "Haupttor" is an 1x3KW Switch. I wrote an other Posting just for that problem.

Example 2 : "Start when Homecenter 2 starts" is not on, local settings are ok.

Example 1 : can you convert it to lua and post again ?

Example 2 : you have to mark "Start when Homecenter 2 starts" because when you convert it to lua you will see timer based events are using autostart as the sourcetrigger.

I tested this with exactly the same scene as yours and it works.

Hi,

i will test it with autostart!

If you open your gate after 22:00 your startSource is type "other" and there is no time to compare with as you can see in your code.

This is not a bug but the result of auto generated code.

Blocks are fine to work with but they have their limits.

Now replace your code by this and it will work.

Hi Lode,

I can`t believe it!

/emoticons/default_icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> It works!!!!!(both! Ex1 and Ex2) Thank you very much! That`s realy great.

That brings me to my next question.

Is it possible (via Lua) to create a Timer with a different Time for each day in one script?

[Guest Lode]

Hmm....you're welcome

It's possible to do that.

What do you need....

You will end up with many code loops running every minute.

If you use this

you will have one loop that sleeps between actions

So for example the following would sleep for 25.5 hrs putting very low strain on your HC2

luaDaySchedule:add("22:00","96", "turnOn" , "call", {"Monday"} ,false)

luaDaySchedule:add("23:30","96", "turnOn" , "call", {"Tuesday"} ,false)

you can use it for all of your timers.

Well, as robmac said if you have a lot of scenes it's better to use the scheduler made by robmac, it's a nice piece of code, very well done.

On the other hand if you don't run that much scenes it's ok do to some loops, that will not affect performance.

Up to you to decide......
