LUA tempfunc

[geritz81 0]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to learn the LUA scripting bit by bit based on what I can find online and by understanding the transformed code from building block into lua.

 

I am setting up my scenes in small bits and try to make it bigger when it works.

 

I have created a scene which is switching of 3 lights when the lux sensor is lower than 100 lux. This should only be active during daytime (8.00 and 23.00)

At 23.01 I have another scene active to switch all lights off.

--[[
%% properties
38 value
%% globals
--]]

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
function tempFunc()
local currentDate = os.date("*t");
local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
 ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(38, "value")) > 100  and  (tonumber(os.date("%H%M")) >= tonumber(string.format("%02d%02d", "08", "00")) and tonumber(os.date("%H%M")) <= tonumber(string.format("%02d%02d", "23", "00"))) and (math.floor(os.time()/60)-math.floor(1441087200/60))%60 == 0 )
)
then
 fibaro:call(20, "turnOff");
 fibaro:call(28, "turnOff");
 fibaro:call(16, "turnOff");
end

setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)
end
if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart") then
tempFunc()
else

local currentDate = os.date("*t");
local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
 ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(38, "value")) > 100  and  (tonumber(os.date("%H%M")) >= tonumber(string.format("%02d%02d", "08", "00")) and tonumber(os.date("%H%M")) <= tonumber(string.format("%02d%02d", "23", "00"))) )
or
startSource["type"] == "other"
)
then
 fibaro:call(20, "turnOff");
 fibaro:call(28, "turnOff");
 fibaro:call(16, "turnOff");
end

end

 

What I am trying to understand is why the code is repeated twice. After the first 3 turnoff commands there is an additional block of code after
setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)...  can somebody tell me what it is for ? If I remove the code it does not work

This block is for running scene if it is triggered manually or by autostart. Both cases do not apply to your code. If you want scene to be simply active in some period of time you do not need setTimeout etc. Just check for the time and run scene if current hour is in some time window. It will look something like this:
