scripting wakeUp scene

[pietervanstee 0]

Hi all,

I've been spending some time scripting a scene that starts my devices in the morning, one by one, each with a time delay so it turns on at exactly the right time.

Here are some of my questions/problems I'm encountering while scripting (this and other) scripts:

My script will get started based on a time (wakeUpTime), but other than that there's an "autostart" and "other" trigger mechanism, can anyone explain me what it does exactly, can't seem to find a conclusive answer for this.

And following this question, are they essential?

Because of these different start mechanisms, I've tried to construct my action in a function(). To prevent repeating a lot of code within each trigger.

This function also gives me some problems, the function wakeUp() ... end works fine when it gets called indicated with the ******* in the script.

Then the function executes without problems, but if I try to use this function later on where the trigger is "other" I get an error: [ERROR] 15:38:47: line 32: attempt to call global 'wakeUp' (a nil value)

And my last question for now is about the tempFunc, is this just to restart the scene each 60s?

I hope someone can clarify some of my questions for me...

Thanks anyway;)

sourceTrigger["type"] tells you about the action that triggered scene - for example other will apply when you started it manually and autostart is true if you choose to run scene at the boot of controller.

tempFunc() is empty and it will not took any effect in the given timeout, so it is quite pointless if I did not miss anything. You should simply start your scene at boot of controller, then get all the actions into one function with 60s timeout. Inside check for the proper hour.
