Question
Guest ErnstH
Hi,
I made a virtual device to activate of deactivate my washing machine.
One it's buttons should force the machine to start running at 5am.
However, when I push the button, it will stay asleep for about an hour (I can't figure out how long the delay exactly is, maybe it's 30 minutes or 2 hours), but not until 5am.
I have this code, where 135 is a wall plug attached to the machine:
local currenttime = os.date('*t');
local currenthour = currenttime['hour'];
local currentmin = currenttime['min'];
local H = tonumber(currenthour)
local M = tonumber(currentmin)
local waitingtime
if H < 5 then -- activated early in the night:
waitingtime= ( ((5-1-H)*60) + 60-M )*60*1000
else -- activated on preceding day:
waitingtime= ( ((5+24-1-H)*60) + 60-M )*60*1000
end
fibaro:call(135, "turnOff")
fibaro:sleep(waitingtime)
fibaro:call(135, "turnOn")
What did I do wrong?
