Help with Script to determine Motion/Door Sensor Last Breached Time/Period

[chaicka 195]

Hi,

 

I am trying to write a piece of script to determine the 'time since last breached' of motion and door sensors.

If the 'time since last breached' is more than 1 hour (3600 mins), it will set variable to be 'Away'.

If the 'time since last breached' is more than 24 hours (86400 mins), it will set variable to be 'Vacation'.

 

The current script I wrote seems to always meeting the 'Vacation' criteria. I found that the formula "(os.time() - fibaro:get(motionSensorID, "value")) always result in 1453051047 seconds and higher.

Is the formula to determine 'time since last breached' wrong? If so, what is the right command or formula to use?

Hi,

 

The final verdict of the script will now always be the last motion sensor, I don't think you want that. Made a little change: it checks if home is set and then away and vacation will not be set anymore and it checks if away is set and the vacation will not be set anymore:

The strange number results from the fact that you are subtracting property "value" from os.time() but that should be "lastBreached". The "1453051047" is the number of seconds elapsed since 1970, the start of "lua time".

Thanks borremk and petergebruers for pointing me in the right directions. I think the revised script below should be working as intended. The only worry is how the script conclude the final verdict if any presence has been found within the last hour.

 

As I am really very new to LUA, any input is much appreciated.

Thanks a zillion, boerremk. The changes did the trick and tests done suggest it is in order. I did spot another mistake I made earlier and rectified it together with the changes.

 

Here is the combined bits of functions for motion and door sensors:
