LUA code to feedback multiple window sensors feedback ... I'm stuck :(

[mvdkallen 0]

Hi all,

 

Once I leave my house and set the house in "away" mode (.. which means it will close some roller shutters, close some curtains and arm window- and some door sensors through a scene), I also would like HC2 to communicate to me in case I left a window open by accident.

 

I had a look online for LUA code examples, and in specific to examples where the "elsif" parameter is used, but I got confused and am stuck now...

 

Anyone who can help me out here, please?

 

I only need to know the part of the code where I actually request HC2 to check the device status and report back in case it does not meet the requirement (.. as example, if Window A is open, send me the notification... If Window B is open, send me another notification... and so on.

 

Just take the below IDs as example when writing the codes:

 

Window sensors

ID35 for Window sensor A

ID36 for Window sensor B

ID37 for Window sensor C

 

Notifications as set in the system

ID40 for Window sensor A notification

ID41 for Window sensor B notification

ID42 for Window sensor C notification

 

Smartphone

ID 50 for smartphone Mark

 

.. probably the LUA script is quite simple, but right now I just don't see how I need to program this.

 

Thanks a lot for anyone's advice.

 

Best regards,

Mark

Hi Robert,

 

Excellent script, it does exactly what I was trying to achieve. Many thanks for that!

I use more generic solution to check for open windows. The "windows" variable at the top has a list of all window sensors (I use both satel and fibaro sensors). The code goes through all the window sensors and prepares a combined message with list of rooms where windows are open.

 

If all windows are closed I still want to receive the message (then I know the scene worked and not just fibaro died again).

 

Scene in my case is triggered manually (from iphone app) and I run it also from some other scenes eg. while arming the alarm.

Hi Robert,

 

Many thanks, I'll give it a try.

Good point actually about getting a message at all time to ensure the script ran, I didn't consider this myself but it is actually a very valid point because I notice that after each software upgrade of HC2 most of my automated scripts won't work anymore due to a weird and unknown reason

For this last point I wrote a reply in the forum this morning too, because it is getting annoying.

 

Best regards,

Hi 

 

It is too bad that we can't run a for loop on a device type, for example windows sensor or DOORS sensor.... instead of that, we have to enter all the devices IDs. That means update this list each time you add, remove a new device !!! A more dynamic way to scan devices of a type would be really interesting....

 

Fibaro team, is it complicate to do that ?

 

Thanks
