Lights ON and OFF only in the morning

[jk_34 0]

Hey!

I just recently bought FIBARO Home Center 2 and some smart z-wave products. Still have a lot to learn! I've created 2 easy scenes:

1) when motion sensor detects motion then my kitchen's lamp goes ON;

2) when it does not detect motion for 30 sec then the lamp goes OFF.

 

It works fine, but my question is how can I make this happening ONLY between 5.00-6.00?

May I counter with another question... 

Why don't you do it with the LUX value from the motion sensor?

 

Some years ago, I had the same question to myself and after I fixed it, I have noticed that a fixed time is not very smart.

Because I need light in the dark isn't it?

 

...
local scene = 15 -- ID of the Scene
local motion = 224 -- ID motion sensor
local switch = 249 -- ID Relay Switches
local lux = 226 -- ID Lux sensor
...

if (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(motion, "value")) > 0 ) and ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(lux, "value")) < 5 ) and (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(switch, "value"))) < 1 then...

 

regards

You can make another scene that starts that scene at 5 and terminates it at 6. (This scene needs the option to autostart when HC2 starts)

Hey,

Thank you for your answers!

 

Simon - I tried that, but it does not work for me. I use the same lamp for two things: In the morning I want it to be motion trigged, but in the evening my wife wants to keep it on all the time between 15.00-22.00, so LUX value is a great idea, but not in my case.

 

Stiven - that will work! What do you mean by "This scene needs the option to autostart when HC2 starts" ?

Did you do it in Lua or block scene?

Please try to use All-in-One Scene

Very easy  to implement exactly what you need....

When you create a new scene, at the bottom where there are the options such: 

Scene is hidden

Scene auto-starts when HC2 starts

Do no stop when alarm is on.

The second one should be ticked so even if the hc2 restarts, the scene runs automatically.

Hey,

Stiven - Thank you!

 

cag014 - I only create scenes using "magic scenes" or "graphic blocks". This time is was blocks. I do not know how to create scenes using LUA yet. Your All-in-One Scene looks interesting. Any recommendations regarding good place where I can start learning about creating LUA scenes?

You can start here

https://manuals.fibaro.com/knowledge-base-browse/getting-started-with-lua/

 

By the way meanwhile  to implement what you need just add line below to jM{} table in  All-in-One Scene

Assuming your sensor ID=700 and light ID=800 (change IDs according to your setup)

{0,"700",{state="value=true", timeSlot="05:00~06:00", trueAct={"800","turnOn",""}, falseAct={"800","turnOff","30"} }},

 

As I said, few seconds and you done. no LUA knowledge required...
