Hourly Script in Lua

[Danielos 3]

Dear all,

 

I have a script, I want to run automatically 1x per hour. 

 

Please login or register to see this code.

This is only a snipped of the whole scrip... it also checks, if the notification has been sent already once, etc.... 

 

But I don't know why, but I'm not able to rund that script 1x per hour automatically. Could someone help me please? 

 

Thank you very much!!

Hi!

You can make a block scene. As a trigger you can use the timers. If you only want Lua scenes you can convert the block scene to Lua after saving:

@Cafun: Thank you. I know the block scene creator... but when I created it, the following LUA code was generated:

So do I really need to add my code twice? (both where is the fibaro:startScene(125) as placeholder? Isn't there a way to only add once the script?

 

Thank you for your expertise....

Fibaro codegen always add second block code for manual calling. Just remove it

Indeed, just remove it.

Or you can just download:

 

 

and setup this scene to run any other scene at wanted interval or even press button on virtual device etc.  

It will also take care of time of day, darkness, season time etc.

And here is probably the easiest  way if you just want to schedule a script to run hourly. It relies on installing the Timer.lua script to run in the background of you HC2. The script doesn't need to be configured, you just add a new "%% time" header to your own script and define how you want to run it.

(I don't know the how you want to handle the notification_sent logic. Only once per day? You need to set and reset it then)
