Posted May 5, 2018 (edited)

Could anyone please help me withe the code I need to loop lua code for a set amount of time. I am trying to make a scene that will flash lights for an x amount of time.

I just want to be able to run this as a scene when a panic button i pressed. But a stand alone scene that I can add would be awesome.

I have been trying to hack stuff together from the web and have failed badly. I am very new to Lua

lightID = 70
delay = 5000 --in ms
a = 10

repeat
print("value of a:", a)
a = a + 1
until( a > 30 )

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
( tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Null")) == tonumber("0") )
or
startSource["type"] == "other"
)
then
fibaro:call(lightID, "turnOn");
fibaro:sleep(delay)
fibaro:call(lightID, "turnOff");
fibaro:sleep(delay)
end

Thanks so much Matt
