Scenes triggered by time don’t work

[Igy 23]

I created several scenes where the timer functions to start the scene is being used. But none of them works. Any idea where should be the problem? See the pictures attached.

Thanx for any adwise.

HC2, FW 4.056,

OK now I see. Autostart is obviously missing... Im going to test it.

[Cafun 13]

Have you rebooted your HC2 ? Because I noticed the first few days some time scenes does work, but after a few days they don't get triggered. Maybe you should create a support case if that is the issue.

[Igy 23]

Yes, rebooted and no change.

[Cafun 13]

Sorry, I'm out of options.

I should create a supportcase if I were you. For me it's not that kind of a problem, It's only one scene which isn't running.

Did you set the scene as "Active Scene"  and save it using general save button on the right panel? (This will trigger the autostart)

Yes, its set as an active scene. I have a lot of other scenes running without issue, only scenes based on timer function dont work.

[morpheus75 76]

there is another option 'start when homecenter 2 starts' that needs to be ticked for all time based scenes aswell.

What is the lua code of this block?

 

Go to the advanced tab fro that scene, scroll below > click on "Change" > copy/paste Lua code

What is the lua code of this block?

 

Go to the advanced tab fro that scene, scroll below > click on "Change" > copy/paste Lua code

Here is the code:

 

--[[

%% properties

%% globals

--]]

 

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

function tempFunc()

local currentDate = os.date("*t");

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

 ( ((currentDate.wday == 2 or currentDate.wday == 3 or currentDate.wday == 4 or currentDate.wday == 5 or currentDate.wday == 6) and string.format("%02d", currentDate.hour) .. ":" .. string.format("%02d", currentDate.min) == "07:00") )

)

then

fibaro:call(23, "setValue2", "50");

fibaro:call(27, "setValue2", "50");

fibaro:call(35, "setValue2", "50");

end

 

setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)

end

if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart") then

tempFunc()

else

 

local currentDate = os.date("*t");

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

fibaro:call(23, "setValue2", "50");

fibaro:call(27, "setValue2", "50");

fibaro:call(35, "setValue2", "50");

end

 

end

OK it works. I missed the point that scenes without trigger needs this autostart "feature". Thanks for the help. Solved

Well, it should work with blockscenes of course, but it isn't. That a bug fibaro needs to handle. I cannot "auto start" that scene, don't have that option. I'll convert it to Lua to, I guess that should work, but still it should not be necessary.

Good to hear it's working for you

Edit:

Ah, I see I already converted the code to Lua, maybe someone sees why it isn't triggered:

Why does not Fibaro lock this feature so that all time based scenes are started automatically? Why would one create a time based scene without having it automatically run?

[Igy 23]

 Cafun, the auto start option checkbox dissappeared from the options after I switched to LUA and back to block scheme. Obviously some bug. Try tu build the scene from scratch or add autostart to LUA directly. Now everything works for me, also sunrise scene based on sunrise time worked

Same here

Normally I take the last part out from the code:

 

.....

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

-- else
-- [[
local currentDate = os.date("*t");
local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
startSource["type"] == "other"
)
then
    fibaro:startScene(15);
end

end

--]]

 

works good to me

[Cafun 13]

I'll try, thnx

Same problem. Time triggered scene worked well for a week or so. Now it stopped working Just like that.

Im new to fibaro and find this very disturbing that a simple block scene which I got from the internet suddenly stops working7

[Igy 23]

For a week without a problem, now it stopped again. Especially sunrise/sunset scenes.

Hi all.

 

I do also have timer based scenes with problems.

A scene which is used to start some lights at home when it starts to get dark ( xx before sunset) stopped working suddenly.

Some where written in Blocks and some  with LUA due to the limitations of Blocks

 

It has been working for about 3 months but now it suddenly stopped together with a few other timer based scenes. No new updates installed!

 

I did a reboot and return to factory setting and start to program everything again.

Suprisingly the GPS location scene now started working like a charme, but timer based scenes still do nothing for 95% of the time.

 

Used Version 4.056 and now back to 4.031. At leat GPS is working now

Does anyone know a sollution?

Did you changed icon on this scene ? I have noticed that scenes based on time stops to work when icon changed from default one.

As a matter of fact I did change the icons and yes the most trouble started after that.

But now after the reset I left them as they are with no positive effect.

 

Also installed the latest 4.056 firmware (again) but still the same problem, but now the GPS Location scene stopped working again.

 

Today I started to update my old Vera. Better a slow device then one that works fast in ....... doing nothing.

I am planning to work on the Fibaro this weekend to solve the problems (wife away for a few days) and hoping to find a solution or somekind of work-around.

Ideas are very much welcome.
