Counting number of Motion

[Ansgar 0]

Hello everybody,

Is it possible to count, how often several motionsensors had breached in a definied time? Could you tell me, how I can write it in a variable?

 

I want to include a few of my motionssensors in my alarm system. But the alarm should not be triggered by one single motiondetection. I want to avoid a false alarm.

 

Thank you very much for your support.

Hi!

 

theoretically yes, in practice you'll retrograde motion sensors battery in one day.

Fibaro had a page about this case, but now page removed.

I thought about a LUA function, which counts the value of a variable +1 with every triggering of scene.

Are you looking global params?

@Ansgarbreached could mean:

from 0 change to 1, or

always 1

 

You cannot avoid people keep motion and sensor never goes back to idle, right?).  So my 2 cents, how many times a sensor is being triggered might not be a good way of avoid false alarm.

 

but how long is a motion sensor being triggered is possible by using while loop.

Yes - probably you're right. Thank you for your support. I think I will try to use your script.

Additionally I will check - if there is motion in two rooms (next to each other) at the same time. So then Alarm is not just triggering if someome stays longer than a specific time in a room.

Hi... i would like to check and compare the pulse received from the universal binary sensor, in particular:

- sensor is connected to a limit switch to detect the rotation of a food feeder (every pulse is a sector of the feeder and a quantity of food)

- with a vd I would like to set a quantity of food (60 gr or 70 of 80 gr)

- at the correct time the fibaro switch turn on and the rotor start dosing the food.. one sector (one pulse) is 10 gr food

- scene has to count 6 pulses or 7 or 8 (or whatever) and once reached the required quantity turn off the switch

- between the pulses the switch has to turn off for few seconds (10 seconds) and then turn on get a pulse and turn off for other 10 seconds.. a sort of pauses between the pulses

Is there somebody able to help me?

Thank you

yes, ZUNO. as example you can use sketch for electric counter or water-meter

Thank you very much 10der@... I appreciate... unfortunately I'm not so expert in lua script.. do you have any example in lua?

no. sorry. it not LUA.

it's custom z-wave device. 

ok, Drop it!

I am russian. 
 

btw, tomorrow I can talk why I can’t help you here. Understand me, you task is not easy and you can’t be done this task only with LUA. Your task requires some technical skills for example soldering and wiring Arduino ZUNO, more than you should develop on C-land for ZUNO... and when you will have device and pair this device with HC2 yes I can help you create VD for example 

[alexpelli 3]

Thank you.

i’m traveling often in Russia for work.

I use a Fibaro universal binary sensor connected to a limit switch. Very simple... system already works and I receive status 1 or 0. I just need to count how many “1” and compare to a global variable. Like l set “7” in global variables and the scene counts seven sensor triggers and switch off the plug.

[10der 832]

IMHO On the left hand discretion of scene is not enough for your requirements on right hand if your create LUA loop with 1ms it’s (IMHO) freezing your HC2

if discretion second is ok yes you can count ticks from binary sensor 

and another notice here 

you may flood zwave network also you may lose packets so, bad ideas as for me
