How to create a scene that only works at night

[Guest Eduardo]

Hello there.

I have a universal sensor with a regular motion sensor at my garage. And I would like to create a scene to turn the lights on my garage only at night when have movement and after 120s without movement the lights turn off. I was trying to do this with the sunset clock on fibaro, but not managed to get it working....

Can anyone help.

Regards

Eduardo

Eduardo,

1) Create a variable called 'Night' or whatever name that suits you.

2) Create a scene that sets the variable to "1" at sunset and a second scene resetting it to "0" at sunrise. Don"t forget to switch on the "Start with HC2"-option on the general tabpage.

3) Now create your scene for your garagelights and make sure that you have as one of your conditions that the variable "Night" = "1" AND the motionsensor is activated and then the lights are switched on.

I think you could use this code:

Tks Ace02!!

Thats almost what i need.

But I need something that uses the sunset and sunrise time from fibaro, because here in Brasil we have daylight saving time and in the summer the lights turn on when still bright. And I don´t have a Lux sensor just movement....

AS far as i know the code has both.. I am using this with sunrise and sunset.. And if You read the comments in the code, it tells how to "disable" the Lux sensor..

Think it would work the way You want..

Sorry I´m very newbie in Lua, but do you think it will work with the universal sensor attached to a regular movement sensor??

Hello Frank.

I´ve tried this but no luck either. Now I chagend the universal sensor for a 4in1 aeon labs, and put the scene with the lux level...and now its working

This is the scene that I tried, but doesn´t work.

--[[

%% autostart

%% properties

%% globals

--]]

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

function tempFunc()

local currentDate = os.date("*t");

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

( ((currentDate.wday == 1 or currentDate.wday == 2 or currentDate.wday == 3 or currentDate.wday == 4 or currentDate.wday == 5 or currentDate.wday == 6 or currentDate.wday == 7) and os.date("%H:%M", os.time()+20*60) == fibaro:getValue(1, "sunsetHour")) )

)

then

fibaro:setGlobal("night", "1");

end

setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)

end

if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart") then

tempFunc()

else

local currentDate = os.date("*t");

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

fibaro:setGlobal("night", "1");

end

end
