This is LUA scene, there's no such option

This is my code, how can I add some script to make it run on HC start?

Thank you.

It is already autostarting with hc2.

%% autostart is the key to that.

But why do you want it to autostart?

The scene will stop immediately as there is no while loop .

What are you trying to achieve here?.

Example af that: wrap you code in an infinite loop

Thank guys, I've made it working!!!

This is my Scene, I'm a noob in Lua programming but I just post my Scene here and hope you guys help me improve it.

Goal:

There are a Motion Sensor and Light Dimmer in the terrace.

If someone go to the terrace, set Light Dimmer to the brightest value,

If someone leave the terrace, set Light Dimmer to previous value.

First I made 2 variables:

TerraceDimmeValue: Standard Variable that store CURRENT Dimmer Value

SceneEnabled: Predefined Variable that only have two value On and Off

Now that my code, I hope you guys can help me make it better

This is how I turn Dimmer Light to Max when Motion detected

This is how I turn DimmerValue to PREVIOUS value when Montion is NOT detected

I'm a total idiot on Scene Programming, but I just post it here and hope you guys help me improve it.

Thank you

Not bad at all, not bad at all.

/emoticons/default_icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> I like the idea of using triggers without the often used while-true-sleep pattern. I'd say it would be close to what you want, but I need to let it bounce a bit in my head. I think there is an issue with timing (motion off -> lamp off scheduled. What happens when motion is detected in the interval between "motion off" and "lamp off"?)

Some quick thoughts. The incantation (startSource["type"] == "other") means "when I started the scene with the start button" (and not via some trigger or autostart). It may help you in debugging, but I often don't have it in my scripts.

I wouldn't mess with the starting comment of the script ( --[[ %% properties etc...) since it has special meaning. So I'd write:

But you are right that is a comment section... I use it to comment out larger blocks.

Thank you petergebruers to help me out. I think this case never happen because the Scene Motion only run when Motion in Safe Mode

I have one more question, it better to check variable priority to save battery?

First Check condition on Home Center (SceneEnabled variable in this case)

Then Check condition on Wire Device (Dimmer value in this case)

Last Check condition on Battery Powered Device (Motion Sensor in this case) - if the 2 above condition is not meet than we don't have to check Motion Sensor = less data query = less battery consumed?

Or that doesn't matter to check condition priority at all, Fibaro System handle all these?

Sorry for too many noob questions, I just got my hand on the HC2 yesterday and falling in love with it

tuanha,

I guess you could combine the two scenes into one

Don't worry about battery consumption as you only get the last value of the sensor cached in the server

Thank you jgab,

I've learn a few trick from your code just posted above
