[cag014 628]

Glade to hear it

Is it works for you?

let me know if you need any help

hi Cag014,

 

Not sure if this possible in AOS, I work away from home a lot and link remotely via fibaro remote to my HC2, if the HC2 has lost connection to the internet for any reason I have no control.

what i was hoping is there was some way the HC2 could be rebooted if AOS senses this connection is lost?

Yes it could be done

I believe you've kept $HC2onLine default action-line  from download, so please add state delay and reboot command in this line

 

{0, "$HC2onLine",{state="value=true#15",trueAct={"","tts","$dayTime, Home center is on line"},falseAct={{"","reboot","","{$internet:value=online}",false},{"","tts","$dayTime, Home center is off line"})}}, 

The idea is when HC2 is off line, wait 15 sec.  (to prevent spikes in connection)  and if HC2 is still off line and Internet connection is OK (no sense to reboot if no internet) then reboot the system.

You can change/remove the delay or internet connection condition. See example below w/o delay and internet condition:

 

{0, "$HC2onLine",{state="value=true",trueAct={"","tts","$dayTime, Home center is on line"},falseAct={{"","reboot","",false},{"","tts","$dayTime, Home center is off line"})}}, 

 

The false statement in reboot command is to prevent reboot on scene startup (to avoid reboot loop in case HC2 needs few seconds to be connected to fibaro remote at startup and scene is already activated)

sorry Cag014 am i looking at this wrongly? If the hc2 is offline how can it run the AOS scene to complete this action?

{0, "$HC2onLine",{state="value=true#15",trueAct={"","tts","$dayTime, Home center is on line"},falseAct={{"","reboot","","{$internet:value=online}",false},{"","tts","$dayTime, Home center is off line"})}},

What do you mean? All-in-One Scene runs on HC2, it doesn't need internet to perform reboot.

It runs internally on HC2 always....

$HC2onLine is a keyword value that gets from HC2 internal status.

Just to clarify it a little bit more:

For example if you have a scene that turns lights ON when motion sensor breached.

You agree that the scene will run when you don't have internet or fibaro remotes access.

Same for All-in-One Scene...

yes Cag014 i see that but i am talking about when my HC2 "freezes" for a choice of a better word and i have to physically reset it.

can it still reboot then using the scene ?

 

 

[cag014 628]

OK. so it's not an internet, your system freeze!

When the system freeze the reboot action could take a very long time...

I suggest to investigate and to try to fix it... is doable.

As a first step, please download

hi Cag014.

i am asking about the vacation function,

 

{0,"$timer",{timeSlot="6:00~9:00""},trueAct={{"`stat`","setTargetLevel,&maxtemp",""},{"settemp","setGlobal","22"}}}}, 

 

In the above line i would like to setTargetLevel,&mintemp when vacation mode selected but setTargetLevel,&maxtemp when not

Thanks

Len

 

 

[cag014 628]

Please use keyword $homeMode

$homeMode has two value Home or Vacation

There are two options to use it as condition

1. Set same command with different condition

Please login or register to see this code.

2. Use ;else; statement for condition

Please login or register to see this code.

I recommend to use second option. Easier to "read" and to modify.

Let me know if you've any issue with that

[magicman 9]

hi cag014,

{0,"$timer",{timeSlot="6:00~9:00"},trueAct={{"`stat`","setTargetLevel,&maxtemp;else;setTargetLevel,&mintemp","","{$homeMode:value=Home}"},{"settemp","setGlobal","22"}}}},

get an error message  with line as is but if i remove } at end of this line {0,"$timer",{timeSlot="6:00~9:00"} < and put this it runs is that ok?

{0,"$timer",{timeSlot="6:00~9:00",trueAct={{"`stat`","setTargetLevel,&maxtemp;else;setTargetLevel,&mintemp","","{$homeMode:value=Home}"},{"settemp","setGlobal","22"}}}},

 

Also how to i set keyword $homeMode to home or away?

[cag014 628]

Yes, this is OK...  looks like too much }}}..

To set $homeMode to "Vacation" - use command  {"","vacOn","<delay>") set back to "Home" use {"","vacOff","<delay>")

But please pay attention that:

By default, at vacation mode time span ignored. All line with Z-wave devices, global and keyword variables are converted to Activities (to keep your home running, without timeout alerts). Triggered scenes and Virtual devices monitoring is suspended. No changes on auto scenes.

 

To override default mode, you can define vacation parameter as following:
a) normal - keeps line's normal behavior during vacation. 20,”435|678”,{state=”power>5”,vacation=”normal”} }
b) stop – suspend/disable the entire line.

 

If you need to just to change the line that we working on, I suggest to use scene's variable.

hi cag014,

 

{"","vacOn","<delay>"}

 

what is the <delay> for?

 

thanks

Len

[cag014 628]

Almost in all commands the third field is delay to execute (same as in block scene)

For example:

trueAct=("400","turnOn","20"}  -  turnOn device 400 after 20 seconds 

Same for vacation mode

trueAct={"","vacOn","20"} - set vacation after 20 seconds (in case you need to arm sensors and to get out from home)

If you don't need any delay leave it blank

trueAct={"",vacOn",""}

thanks cag014

Hi!

 

Sorry for the beginners question, but I just can't figure out, how to set an action that is executed every 10 minutes, without any criteria.

 

Basically I would like to press a virtual device's button every 10 minutes:

 

{"170","pressButton,9",""}

 

but can not figure out the hows...

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

[cag014 628]

Since there is no device state involved, the solution is to use $timeLoop "dummy" keyword and timeLoopAct{} action.

Please add follow line to yours jM{} array

jM={

{10,"$timeLoop",{timeLoopAct={"170","pressButton,9",""}}},

}

Will AOS work on a HC3?

 

[cag014 628]

Yes it will.

Working on new alarm concept in HC3...

I believe first version will be released next week

Hi, i'm new on the forum, and i'm tring to move a lot of lua and magic scenes to aos. Maybe you can help me:

I'tring to transfer on aos a scene:

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% weather
%% events
911 CentralSceneEvent 1 Pressed
911 CentralSceneEvent 2 Pressed
911 CentralSceneEvent 3 Pressed
911 CentralSceneEvent 4 Pressed
%% globals
--]]

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
 ( (startSource["type"] == "event" and startSource["event"]["type"] == "CentralSceneEvent")  or  (startSource["type"] == "event" and startSource["event"]["type"] == "CentralSceneEvent")  or  (startSource["type"] == "event" and startSource["event"]["type"] == "CentralSceneEvent")  or  (startSource["type"] == "event" and startSource["event"]["type"] == "CentralSceneEvent") )
or
startSource["type"] == "other"
)
then
    local deviceValue1 = tonumber(fibaro:getValue(494, "value"));
    if (deviceValue1 > 0) then
        fibaro:call(494, "turnOff");
    else
        fibaro:call(494, "setValue", "100");
    end
end
 

 

I't used to control hue light by a wall remote...any hint?
