Lua code to make light blinking?

[mvdkallen 0]

Hi all,

 

I'm seeking for advice with regards to LUA code and how to make a lamp blinking whenever some criteria is met.

 

Background info:

My laundry machine is located in my garage, I don't have a direct view to it and I also don't hear any sound coming from the machine once I'm in my house.

I'd like to create a visual signal that informs me once the laundry machine has finished. All my lights in the house are equipped with Fibaro switches and dimmers, so from that point of view there's no limitation. Also the laundry machine is connected thru a wall plug to the power outlet, which gives me the possibility to power-on/off the machine and allowing me to read out the energy consumption.

 

I don't know the LUA code I need to use in order to let a lamp blink... is there anyone who can help?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Mark

You can do this with a powerplug

 

create a variabele X

 

if powerusage > 1000 watt, change X to 1

if powerusage < 50 for 15 min and X = 1

then sent mail/ switch a light, etc

change X to 0

 

 

the timing is a bit trial and error

 

you can do this with wash dryer etc

 

it's not lua, just as an example

Hi Akatar,

 

Thanks for your update.

I know how to write the LUA script based on the variable status and power measurements etc., but I only don't know what code I must use in order to get the light blinking.

 

Is there any specific LUA command that allows light to blink?

 

Best regards,

Mark
