Morning Coffee

[JimBob 0]

Hallo,

i´m quite new to the stuff. I use a HCL. No Lua but it should possible?!

How can i tell the System to switch the Coffee on when the first person enters the room?

Time range 6-8 am. Kontakt with a motion sensor.

Manualy it works fine.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

How is the coffee machine connected to HCL?

[MalvinYNJ 4]

Coffee Machine should be connected to HCL via a zwave wall plug. That will only turn on and off a coffee machine. Not sure if coffee machine will work immediately after it's turn on.

Hallo,

The Machine has now a Fibaro Switch inside. It works perfect. And next to it the Fibaro Motion sensor.

The Idea is:

1. Once a Morning

2. between 6 and 8

3. Start when motion detect

?

You should make two scenes with variable called "morning".

scene 1: When it is 6 o'clock then variable turns morning to 1.

Scene 2: When it is 8 o'clock, then variable turns morning to 0.

Scene 3: When motion detector is breached AND morning is 1, then start coffe.

This should do it with HCL easily - and pretty good idea

JimBob, make to 2 global variables to determine if it is morning (as Lauri said) and the next one to determine if coffee was made already this day.

Scene 1: if it is 6:00 set variable "morning" to "1" and "ifCoffee" to "0"

Scene 2: if it is 8:00 set variable "morning" to "0"

Scene 3: if motion is detected and "morning" is "1" and "ifCoffee" is "0" then make coffee and set "ifCoffee" to "1"

It might look a little bit complicated, but block scenes are dedicated to simpler tasks. For more complex stuff you should consider getting HC2, where you can use LUA scripts.

I would also make control for shutting down the coffee machine automatically, if the machine does not have built in functionality for that.

There is always risk of starting the coffee making process but get distracted from reason or another, and end up heating coffee for hours or even days.

It was quite complicate for me to build the module right in the machine and still have the original switch in use with internal auto off function.

But it works and i set also the Fibaro Switch to auto off after 30min.

Its more a Test than a real need.

Thanks everybody.
