Code for flashing lights?

[Guest David R]

I have an alarm scene that turns all the house lights on when the security alarm is breached. What i would like to do is have the outside lights flashing on and off. Does anybody know the LUA code to do this? Thanks!

Make a scene that will turn them on and of in a while loop, checking for some device "armed" state as an exit condition.

[Guest David R]

Thanks could you show my a little example of this? Just unsure about the loop

This scene should be added as an action to alarm panel and activated. It will toggle chosen light and stop when some sensors get disarmed, eg. when turning off alarm.

Thanks. I dont use Fibaro alarm to activate. I use an ubs integrated to my house alarm that sets off the lights when the house alarm is breached. is this still possible?

[j.nowacki 5]

Sure, just add proper triggering condition.

How do I add more lights to the scene? So what I want to do is is alarm breached (=>0) yes?

Then fibaro push to my phone....loop the lights as above..then when alarm is safe...fibaro:call turn on lights where needed? Thanks

If you want to trigger scene by value (not armed or breached state) of some sensor (XX) stands for its ID do it like this:

--[[

%% properties

XX value

%% globals

--]]

sensorID =

lightID1 =

lightID2 =

lightID3 =

delay = --in ms

while tonumber(fibaro:getValue(sensorID, "value")) == 1 do

fibaro:call(lightID1, "turnOn")

fibaro:call(lightID2, "turnOn")

fibaro:call(lightID3, "turnOn")

fibaro:sleep(delay)

fibaro:call(lightID1, "turnOff")

fibaro:call(lightID2, "turnOff")

fibaro:call(lightID3, "turnOff")

fibaro:sleep(delay)

end

end

Okay so I made an alarm in the alarm panel using "emergency lights" this works great apart from when the alarm is reset all the lights stop flashing and turn off. Is there a way to make them stay on rather than turn off and send the house into complete dark. Thanks

David R, so you used predefined scene in Alarm Panel after all or used my scene? Sorry, but I do not follow.

[Guest David R]

I used a predefined scene in the end. I didn't know it was possible. I hadn't used the alarm panel before. So what im saying is in predefined "emergency lights" when the pin is entered and the scence ends. Sometimes the lights stay on sometimes they all turn off. Turning off is not good if its the night!!

[j.nowacki 5]

David R, we can not modify predefined scenes, so you need to make some work-around, like using scene i gave you previously for checking some device armed state in a loop, after exiting loop turn on some lights. It should be added to Alarm Panel to be triggered along with alarm breach.

David R- i'm not into code, so thank's for the code

Is it a code to add so the blinking stops, say after 10 min or so
