LUA help

[MaTi 29]

Hi all,

 

I am new to LUA (and pretty much to programming actually).

I have tried building something, but unfortunately it does not do what I'd like

I have tried breaking it down to troubleshoot, but then everything seems to be working fine (if then --> debugmessage). The end product however does not work..

Can someone please have a look with me and advise what to try/do? if someone has a working script he/she is willing to share that's fine too.. But also I am keen on learning what I do wrong here..

Thanks! I simplified the script a little.. The functions delay and debug are working and left out for your convenience.

 

The ID's for lamp and motion are correct and the global var DayOrNight is set to Night.

 

What it should do:

If my FIbaro eye (motion) is triggered and the golbar VAR is set to Night it should turn on the lamp for one minute to 40% and then off again (between 16:00 and 1:00), to 20% for one minute, should it be between 1:00 and 8:00.

 

What it actually does:

Nothing. (lol)

Thanks in advance for your great help!

 

PS: Also any general/other programming advise is more than welcome, should there be room for improvement..

Hi @MaTi,

 

Your scene does nothing because it is missing trigger to start it. So first you need to add motion sensor to scene header under %% properties section:

Also you need to correct following line:

since you use local variable lamp and not ganglamp.

 

To be honest, I don't believe in firm times or exact times since duration of day and night time changes during a year (sunrise & sunset times). So, maybe you can check my

 and then when you have setup that then try my

 scene to control lighting throughout all day and night?

Hi there,

 

Thanks, will try

The ganglamp is actually correct (I had simplified it to lamp for my question here, as ganglamp is Dutch).. Just forgot to rename that one I guess

 

Will also look at your scripts tonight Thanks!

All fixed and working now.. Partly with your other very smart lights-script. Thanks so much!
