Newbie - Scene for December

[karaokek 3]

I have taken the plunge and started my move to Z-Wave from X10

I have an HC2

Could do with some elementary help re programming a scene

What do I want to do

I have a plug module lets call it “Plug 1”

Resides in “Kitchen”

I need this module to

switch on at 06.00am

switch off at dawn -10mins (dawn will be between 08.00 and 08.15)

but only 1^st December thru to 6^th January

 

then switch on at dusk +15mins (Dusk will be between 15.55 and 16.15)

switch off at 23.59 (same day)

but only 1^st December thru to 6^th January

 

I was hoping to be able to do this using Magic scenes or Graphic Blocks

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Good morning,

I have looked really hard to try and understand how to do this.

 

Found this in

topic 27867

-- Check current month

local currentmonth = tonumber(os.date("%m"))   

  if ( currentmonth == 1 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "Januari");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 2 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "Februari");

it continues to December

 

topic 23510

local month               = "Month";

local monthMapping        = {January  ="January",

                             February ="February",

                             March    ="March",

it continues to December

 

what I am unsure of is

A)     What to do with it

B)     How to use it in order to implement a scene based on a month.

 

Sorry if this is really obvious but “if you don’t know 1 + 1 = 2 then its difficult to work out 2 + 2= ?”

 

Really hope that there is an easy solution.

 

Cheers and a Happy New Year

I think Easiest way to do this is make a variable called, for instance, "Yearend" and give it two possible values: "Yes" or "No".

You make a scene that changes the variable to Yes on the 1st december and No on the 6th of january.

In a second scene you make an extra condition checking the status of the variable and then doing what it is meant to do.

Alternatively you can keep out the variable out of the second scene and even not use a variable at all but make two scenes that do something at dusk and the second at dawn an then you enable (fibaro:setSceneEnabled(x, true) where x s the first scene meant to run on december 1ste and disenable the scenes (fibaro:setSceneEnabled(x, false)) on january 6th.

[akatar 208]

1 varaible  "yearend" 0 or 1 (0 is off, 1 is on"

blockscene 1

on 1-12-(year) at 01:00 hour change var yearend to 1

blockscene 2

on 6-1-(year) at 01:00 hour change var yearend to 0

 

blockscene 3

if time is 06:00 and var yearend = 1 then switch plug1 on

blockscene 4

if time = sundawn and var yearend is etc etc etc

Thanks for your replies – much appreciated

 

I think I may have found a solution using various LUA codes found on this forum – again, much appreciated.

 

So

I made a Variable called  - Month

12 values – January, February ~ …. December

Then a scene, Month, using this code

--[[

%% autostart

%% properties

%% weather

%% events

%% globals

--]]

 

-- Check current month

local currentmonth = tonumber(os.date("%m"))   

  if ( currentmonth == 1 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "January");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 2 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "February");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 3 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "March");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 4 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "April");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 5 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "May");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 6 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "June");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 7 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "July");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 8 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "August");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 9 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "September");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 10 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "October");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 11 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "November");

    elseif ( currentmonth == 12 ) then

      fibaro:setGlobal("Month", "December");

    end

 

Then another scene, Run Month, to run the above scene on 1^st of each month at 00.05am

 

This seems to work – would appreciate any comments if the above is flawed.
