Setting time variables

[natrimed 1]

Hi

 

I am trying to set up three time variables. One starts at sunrise. The other starts at sunset. I also want a period between sunset and sunrise (when we are asleep) to be set.

 

Will the time variable setting below work?  Will this variable start at 11:00pm (and therefore turnoff the sunset time variable) and stop when the sunrise variable starts?

No this doesn't work look into the next link, maybe this will help you. 

Ore perhaps you can the next scene. 

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% globals
--]]

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()
 
if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart") then
 
   while true do
 

   local currentDate = os.date("*t")
   local TimeNow = (string.format("%02d", currentDate.hour) .. ":" .. string.format("%02d", currentDate.min))
   local sunrise = fibaro:getValue(1, "sunriseHour")
   local sunset = fibaro:getValue(1, "sunsetHour")
   local Bedtime = "23:00"
 
   local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()
 
   fibaro:debug("Time no: "..TimeNow)
   fibaro:debug("Sunrise: "..sunrise)
   fibaro:debug("Sunset: "..sunset)
   fibaro:debug("Bedtime: "..Bedtime)
      
  if (TimeNow >= Bedtime and TimeNow >= sunrise) then
      fibaro:setGlobal("lightMode","sleep")
      fibaro:debug("Sleep")
   
  elseif ((TimeNow >= sunrise) and (TimeNow <= sunset)) then
      fibaro:setGlobal("lightMode","day")
      fibaro:debug("day")
    
  elseif ((TimeNow >= sunset) and (TimeNow <= Bedtime)) then
      fibaro:setGlobal("lightMode","evening")
      fibaro:debug("evening")
    end
    
   fibaro:sleep(5*60*1000)
  end
end

Thanks Reinhold

I will try this. Do I need to have for predefined variables? Day, evening, sleep, and bedtime?

Thanks Reinhold. It seems to be working. Will test it over the next few days.
