Automatic light with movement

[donangelo 0]

Hi

I'm a very beginner with LUA, I found a nice script that turns on light on movement and turns it of after a while, when no movement is recognized.

The script works well and does exactly what I want, but it does it only once. After the light is turned of, it does not switch on any more, only if i restart the script manually.

Has somebody an idea what I do wrong? thank you

** Automatic light switch turning on when motion is detected. During a 2 minute

period the scene checks for additional movement. If there is movement, the countdown starts

over for another 2 minutes. All until there has been no movement for the duration of 2 minutes.

local LightID = 132

local MotionSensorID = 100

if fibaro:getValue(LightID, "value") == "1" then

local LightStatus = fibaro:getValue(LightID, "value")

fibaro:debug("Licht is aktuell an, warte 2 Minuten")

fibaro:sleep(2*60000)

fibaro:debug(fibaro:getValue(MotionSensorID, "value"))

local MotionSensorState = fibaro:getValue(MotionSensorID, "value")

fibaro:sleep(1*1000);

until MotionSensorState == "1"

fibaro:call(LightID, "turnOn")

fibaro:debug("Licht wurde eingeschaltet")

i = 24

repeat

local MotionSensorState = fibaro:getValue(MotionSensorID, "value")

fibaro:debug(fibaro:getValue(MotionSensorID, "value"))

if MotionSensorState == "1" then i = 24

fibaro:debug("Countdown reset: "..i)

else i = i - 1

fibaro:debug("Countdown: "..i)

end

fibaro:sleep(5*1000);

until i < 1

fibaro:call(LightID, "turnOff")

fibaro:debug("Keine Bewegung mehr, Licht wurde ausgeschaltet")

end

        if os.time() - czas > 5 then --change to set time without movement after light will turn off

in milliseconds?

os.time returns a unix timestamp - so it will be in seconds.

Thank you

Do I start this scene with scnene activation on motion sensor? How can I configure that?

Thank you

[j.nowacki 5]

donangelo, it is started by motion, as you wished. It is visible in header of file, just replace

with id of your sensor.

I have a separate scene to dim light at night.

How may I include my code to this?

@j.nowacki, what if there are 2 or more sensors for one light and both sensors could activate the light when motion is detected, and both sensors have to be safe for xx seconds that the light turns off again?

thank you

donangelo, code posted by Dalle1985 looks fine for this purpose.

j.nowacki, how may I change dimming level at night?

I have a separate scene and var for this, but I want this all to be in a one script. Thank you!

You could try this scene:

I am trying to build this in a plugin, but will take some time.

stevenvd, Thank you!

But just for my own experience and knowledge I would like to know how to make a simple codes...

[j.nowacki 5]

Instead of just turning light on:

check if it is between given hours:

and change dimming level basing on this.

Nice way to start is to crate scene in blocks, then convert it into LUA and analyze the code.

I added my Lux sensor but the scene is not triggerd when there is motion. When i run it manually it's working fine.

I'm i doing something wrong?

You need to remove the comments from the properties ("-- Sensor ID" and "--Lux ID")

I changed the value 5 to 180. But still the lights turns off despite movement in bathroom.

Any idea?
