Timer scene in LUA

[KristianO 15]

Is it possible in LUA to keep a a light on between eg. 7AM-10:30PM?

Do i need to set a trigger at 7AM and then sleep for 15,5h and then turn it off? Other solution?

Like this?

local currentTime = tonumber(os.date("%H%M"));

local wakeUp = tonumber(string.format("%02d%02d", "07", "00"));

local goSleep = tonumber(string.format("%02d%02d", "22", "30"));

if currentTime = wakeUp then

fibaro:call(7, "turnOn");

elseif time = goSleep then

fibaro:call(7, "turnOff");

end

Or there are a few other ways including one I posted a while back that will schedule all of yor timed events

Haven't tried this code so there could be some bugs but the intention is a bare bone scheduler (more flexible time formats would be nice). I would recommend GEA or robmac's scheduler for real use. The question is also if setTimeout will drift over longer time spans...?

Btw, it seems like setTimeout returns a reference that can be used by removeTimeout to cancel the call-back...
