LUA Timeout?

[M4T VW 2]

Hi guys

 

I have a scene where if i triple click one of my light switches it turns off my "movie mode" and puts my projector and screen away and turns off a few other devices. However it's a bit flakey and sometimes works, Most of the time not.

 

I have it set as an LUA scene and the code is

 

    fibaro:call(54, "pressButton", "2"); -- Turn off projector

    setTimeout(function()

    fibaro:call(54, "pressButton", "2"); -- Turn off projector

    end, 20000)

 

This is because to turn my projector off you have to press the off button twice. Once for a popup to ask you and then again to confirm it. I put in a timeout first because i think the scene was firing too quickly and the 2nd press was being missed but it's still hit and miss. Is there a better way to do this? The code is using the iTach flex device and sending out an IR signal. If i press the button manually in my virtual device it works fine, Just not from the scene.

 

Thanks
Mathew

have you tried using just the fibaro:sleep instead...

 

 fibaro:call(54, "pressButton", "2"); -- Turn off projector

fibaro:sleep(20*1000) -- 20 secs sleep 

 fibaro:call(54, "pressButton", "2"); -- Turn off projector

Does sleep not pause the whole scene though? I will give it a try thanks!

Yes it does. And then continues after the pause.

I have it setup for my home cinema where the sockets come on sequentially and then I do a 10 sec pause before sending a wake on lan signal for the media pc.

In other instances I use for alarm entry/exit, motion sense lights.
