Don't run scene between x and x

[tcviper 20]

Hello all,

 

For days ive been trying to figure out how to make sure a scene does not run between specific times.

For example right now with a simple scene and Virtual device, we automatically enable our Airco to go on when temperature goes above 24degrees celsius. When it then goes below 23, we power the Airco off again.

 

This works just fine with those two scenes, however we would love for it to not run at all between 0:00 at midnight and 07:00 in the morning.

 

Any idea how to accomplish this?

 

Thx

you can activate / deactivate a scene from another scene. I have one timebased "schedule" scene for the whole day for all scenes triggered by a timer. In such a scene you could put the activation / deactivation command.

Simplest solution - Create a global variable called "Night." Use two scenes to toggle it on/off (1/0) at the desired times. Then inside the working scene, just check to make sure it's day time and the scene needs to run.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think you can compare strings like that.

[Momos 103]

yes you can

Indeed, looks like you can. That's good to know, thanks!

Ok, so if this currently is the scene to start it when temp is higher then 24, what should i change?

This basically looks at netatmo and if the temp is higher then 24 it should press button 4 (Airco = On cooling mode).

Thanks but isn't that missing the 00:00 part?

nope, everything between 00:00 and 07:00 is excluded now, because 00:00 is smaller then 07:00 and it works only if the current time is bigger then 07:00.

Ok, very cool thank you

[boerremk 84]

That is right.

 

If you want not to run the scene between 23:00 and 07:00 it will look like:

 

( (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(377, "value")) > 24) and (os.date("%H:%M") > "07:00")  and (os.date("%H:%M") < "23:00") )
