Temperature as a trigger

[big_lynx 0]

I have relatively simple automation to develop. If temperature is too low - switch on Wall-Plug. If too high - switch it off. I have three temperature sensor in disposal: "Motion Sensor", "CO Sensor", and Elgato Eve. I was trying several automatons with different sensors, IFs, WHENs, etc - no way. I am not able to control Wall-Plug using temperature value. Any idea to solve my issue?

Try setting this automation from Eve app.

Conditions from Fibaro app don't work.

I have a scene for temperature sensor to turn on or off the wall plug. But i use a binary sensor with a temperature sensor. The motion, co sensors give not the actual temperature because the wakeup interval. 

But i wil share if you like the script but you need a different temperature sensor.

To be perfectly honest I don't really care about "actual temperature". The problem is that the temperature value on the sensor doesn't trigger an Automation. Simply not working. Whatever value is detected - is ignored.

 

Please share the script and tell the name of the temperature sensor if it is not a problem. Thank you!

Hmmm? I have to test it for some time but it seems that this could be some workaround. At least something happened. Is ON - will see if it will go to OFF state also

This is a part of the script that turns on or off my wall plug.

 

343 is the id of the temperature sensor and 300 is the id of my wall plug

 

I use far the temperature a universal sensor with Ds18b20 temperature sensors.

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% weather
343 value
%% events
%% globals
--]]

if fibaro:countScenes()>1
then
fibaro:abort()
end

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()
function tempFunc()
local HuidigeTijd = os.date("*t")
local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()

if ((tonumber(fibaro:getValue(343, "value")) < 19.5)
then
fibaro:call(300, "turnOn")
elseif ((tonumber(fibaro:getValue(343, "value")) > 19.8)
then
fibaro:call(300, "turnOff")
end

setTimeout(tempFunc, 5*60*1000)
end

if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart")
then
tempFunc()
else

local currentDate = os.date("*t")
local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger()

end

@Reinhold

Thank you. Let me understand correctly the script and sorry for the newbie question - is it for native Fibaro Home Center device? Nothing dedicated for Apple homekit?

[Reinhold 17]

Yes this is for Fibaro, sorry i haven't seen that you are on apple home kit.

My mistake.

Setting the automation with the conditions from the Fibaro application does not work (at least for me). I have a Fibaro motion sensor and I tried to set the automation triggered by a change in light intensity. After lighting the flashlight in the sensor, the reading from the sensor changed and the automation did not work. After removing this automation and setting the same from the Eve application, the same scenario activated automation. Since then, I have not set up any automation from Fibaro.
With the Home app, unfortunately, it is impossible to set the automation based on the intensity of light or temperature, so Eve's application remains for such automations.

It seems that Eve App also works for me. I am not sure if for all cases but at least for one not working on Fibaro - yes. What I am missing on Eve.App is IF conditions based on location (e.g. - I am at home)

You can define automation in Eve app, and after that add if conditions based on location in Apple Home app. It works.
