Light turing on and off fast with scene

[hari-bo 0]

I've created two scene's one to shutdown the lights at 21:00 and in the morning turing it on at 9:00, but enabling both scripts results in turing on and off very fast and won't stopping this action, what i'm doing wrong here?

 

Scene power on at 09:00

I believe the problem is that you have the same device as  a trigger

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
30 value
%% globals
--]]

 

Your scenes run in a loop (%% autostart) and do not need any additional trigger.

What happens that every time you're switching the light another instance of each scene executed...

Please remove the trigger (marked red above) and see what happens.

 

May I suggest instead of using scenes ( which creates instances and other unwanted side effects ) use Virtual Device main loop, which automatically executes every ~3 seconds.

Another benefit using VD , is that you can add buttons to over ride events - in your case you can create a button which can turn on or off light manually.

I have created TimeEVents VD, which executes a lot of time depended actions. No need to add more scenes for additional time events. 

See example below for your device:

Example of mine additional few events

 

-- Set living room lights'  dimmer maximum value

if ( currentTime == "07:00") then

  fibaro:setGlobal("salonLightVal","50") -- value during the day

end

if ( currentTime == "17:00") then -- value during evening and night

  fibaro:setGlobal("salonLightVal","99")

end

 

-- Arm alarm at 1 AM

if ( currentTime == "01:00") then

  fibaro:startScene(jT.scene.arm)

end

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for you post this has cleared for me how to use block scenes and got it working! I'm trying to learn Lua scripting but it's a high learning curve for me.
