How to put a timer on a device?

[WiYantra 2]

Hello Forum,

I want to put a timer settings to my TV connected to a Fibaro Wall plug, like if TV is ON for 1hour it has to send a notification to my mobile.

how can i do this?

do i need to create a scene or any other settings were there.

if any one know please share the details.

Set wall plug turned on as a trigger. set a timer using fibaro:sleep(1 hour) after that check if its still on, and send notification

You just create a scene which starts when the plug changes value. If it changes value from 0 to 1, it starts a timer, if it changes from 1 to 0 it kills the scene. You also create a variable whoch is set at 0 when the scene starts.

Then for the timer, you create a loop which sleeps for 60000 ms and then check if the plug value is still = 1, if not, it kills the scene, if it is still 1, you add +1 to your variable. This repeats itself every minute until the variable reaches 60.

When the variable reaches 60, it fires off a push message and resets the vaiable to 0. Now you will receive a message every time another hour has passed.

This is pretty basic Lua stuff, so if you know Lua, this should be no issue to set up, if you don't, you probably need to consult someone who does and who is willing to help write code for you.

You people forget there are people here too who have another product from Fibaro called the HCL, it doesn't support LUA, so it would be nice to know if u can make it without LUA too, instead of telling anyone to consult someone.

I think you dont need LUA for basic stuff like that.

Blocks offer just basic options. For results that OP desires, LUA is much more effective, because it allows you to check if more than one instance of the same scene is running and kill it. I think triggering scene by power consumption rather than with state of WP is more convinient way, but it will run a new scene with every change of power, resulting in many notifications send after declared period of time.
