"simple" cirquit for hall

[hugohekk 0]

I would like to do the following in my hall to switch the lights on and off:

When i am opening a door the light will go on in the hall. When i close the door the light will go off in XX minutes. If the door stays open, the light will be constantly on. Each door that give acces to the hall has to do exactly the same. All the doors are equiped with the Fibaro doorsensors.

It sounds simple but with the lua blocks i can't get it working. Can i do this simple cirquit with lua and how?

create variable door, give it value 0

block scene 1:

if door 1 = open

or

door 2 = open

or

door 3 = open

then varibele door = 1

block scene 2

if door 1 = close

or

door 2 - close

or

door 3 = close

then varible door = 0

block scene 3

if door variable = 1

then turn light on

block scene 4

if door variable = 0

then turn light off in xx seconds

Hello akatar,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately your scene does not work. If I enter the hall through a door (for example door A) the door will go open and close. when i open the second door and leave it open for some time the previous timer of door A will set the lights off.

hi hugohekk

How about

create variable door, give it value 0

block scene 1:

if door 1 = open

or

door 2 = open

or

door 3 = open

then variable door = 1

block scene 2

if door 1 = close

and

door 2 - close

and

door 3 = close

then variable door = 0

block scene 3

if door variable = 1

then turn light on

block scene 4

if door variable = 0

then turn light off in xx seconds

hope that helps

Another way to do it? (not tested)

block scene 1:

if door 1 = open

or

door 2 = open

or

door 3 = open

then variable door += 1

block scene 2

if door 1 = close

or

door 2 = close

or

door 3 = close

then variable door -= 0

block scene 3

if door variable > 0

then turn light on

block scene 4

if door variable <= 0

then turn light off in xx seconds

Although achieving your goal, you may consider the use of a PIR sensor?

Hi hugohekk (and others),

If you want to do this with Lua rather than blocks, you can use the following scene:

Please login or register to see this code.

It gets triggered by any door. Once triggered it stays running until all doors are closed for the amount of time specified by delay. If any door opens again during this time, the scene notices this and resets the delay. The doors are checked every second once the scene is triggered.

An optimisation you could work on: don't start the loop until all doors are closed.

Happy automating,
