HC3 no motion for X time = lights off, how to?

[Pete123 3]

Hi,

 

How do you configure a scene that will turn on lights when motion and does not turn off until motion sensor has been safe for X time?

I am looking for both Lua and block options, if available.

Until now I have only found option for "delay" meaning lights will turn off after given time no matter if there has been motion during "delay" period.

 

Hope someone has found a solution for this.

Yeah, isn't it?

If I translate the Portuguese to Swedish and back to English with Google translate it doesn't sound as impressive.... or maybe it does

Nada, pois todos os sensores binários retornam verdadeiro quando aberto / violado e falso se fechado / seguro

jgab@, how are you?
please one more help......if I have Dimmer and RGB along with modules On/Off what do I need to change in Scene? I just tried to include the Ids but the Scene doesn't read the original status.....Dimmers and RGBs always turn off....even if they're lit at the start of the Scene.

thanks,

[jgab 1,957]

So it is the isON() test that fails?

Dimmers and RGBs don't return true/false for their value, they return a number 0..99. 0 when off, and >0 when on.

We can allow for that if we modify isON()

I think it should be possible to use the 'state' property too, but I'm a bit unsure how consistently it is supported/used.

@jgab how are you?
one more guidance / help please ....
when condition (3) of the scene is met, I would like the scene to check the time (hour range) and based on that, turn on the RGB in a specific color ...... I tried to use
local time = os.date ("%H:%M")
if time> = "17:00" or time <="20:30"
then
but it didn't work, I looked in the Lua HC3 manual, but I couldn't find examples.... Could you guide me once again how this encoding works on the HC3.
thank you so much.
 

part of the code

 

local time = os.date("%H:%M")

if isON(light1) and isON(light2) and isONx(light3) then 
light = {35}                                          
print("conditions 1")                           

 

elseif isON(light1) and isON(light2) then             
light = {35,25}                                       
print("conditions 2")                                            

 

elseif isON(light1) and isONx(light3) then       
light = {35,259}                                               -- TurnOn ID 35 and RGBW

fibaro.call(259, "setColor", "0","255","0","0") -- R,G,B,W

You should use 'and' instead of 'or'

if time >= "17:00" and time <= "20:30" then

Hello,
I have just implemented all this, it works perfectly for me .
In my case all the lights are dimmable.
Would it be possible to implement that when the lights are turned on at the same time the brightness level is adjusted depending on the amount of lux there is at that moment?

[Guest Benrive]

Hello,

Something very strange happens to me.

 

For testing purposes, I have changed the virtual lights to multilevel virtual light. ( I have dimmer )
But now something very curious happens, only the first one is turned on and off.

Of course, I have changed the ID of the new virtual multilevel lights in the script.
What can be?

 

Updated: 21/08/11

 

Work's Ok:

Witch Virtual Switch binary

 

local light = {61,62,63} -- ID's of all the lights to turnOn and turnOff

local function isON(light) return fibaro.getValue(light,"value") end

 

Testing, because I don't understand what happens.

I have noticed in the Debug that if I use Binary Switches it works and even looks like the function

 

When I use virtual devices multilevel , the same function is just looping only to first ID.

 

local light = {55,59,60} -- ID's of all the lights to turnOn and turnOff

local function isON(light) return fibaro.getValue(light,"value") end

 

It's very strange.

 

Thx a lot

I need some quick help?

 

How can i modify this scene to :

End the scene,  if light (ID 481) is turned off by a person on a switch or by app ? This way turning off the light doesnt stop the scene and it keeps counting thil the end..

 

DECLARATIONS (Conditions/Triggers)

{
  conditions = { {
      id = 481,
      isTrigger = true,
      operator = "==",
      property = "value",
      type = "device",
      value = true
    } },
  operator = "all"
}

 

ACTIONS

 
local light = {201} 
local motion = {481} 
local maxTime = 2*60  
local sleepTime = 5 
local debug_TAG = "IZKLOP WC LUČI PO 3 min" 
 
 

 for i in pairs(light) do 
  fibaro.debug(debug_TAG,"vklapljam luci (ID " ..light[i] ..") " ..fibaro.getName(light[i]) .." za " ..maxTime .." sekund")
  fibaro.call(light[i],"turnOn")
end
 
local safeTime = 0
while safeTime < maxTime do 
  fibaro.sleep(sleepTime*1000)                 
  safeTime=safeTime+sleepTime 
  fibaro.debug(debug_TAG,"  Štetje do maksimalnega časa  ki znaša ... " ..safeTime .." maksimalni čas znaša ... " ..maxTime)
  for i in pairs(motion) do 
    if fibaro.getValue(motion[i],"value") then 
       fibaro.debug(debug_TAG,"Reset na podlagi senzorja gibanja  št.... " ..motion[i] .." " ..fibaro.getName(motion[i]))
       safeTime = 0 
    end
  end
end 
  
for i in pairs(light) do 
  fibaro.debug(debug_TAG, "Ugašanje luči " ..light[i] .." " ..fibaro.getName(light[i]))
  fibaro.call(light[i],"turnOff") 
end

This is just for 1 light - if you have several lights in the lua table 'light' the code needs to be modified.

Thanks a lot for your help.

 

 

I do have another scene i would like to do the same. With multiple LED Strips (ID 324, ID 325) and one klassic non dimmable LED light (ID 74). How do i have to change the code this time?

Doesn’t there exist an ALC LUA like the of @Sankotronic for the HC3?

 

I have 2 lights with Fibaro Plug, 2 HUE lamps and 2 motion sensors. I want the "normal" lights to become on by motion and stay on for 10m and restart counting after motion. This works perfect with the script of @SmartHomeEddy

But at sunset the HUE lights should also become active with a certain color and using the same motion script as above. 

 

Can this be done?

This was a half-joke but it actually works. If you set "Allow to restart a running scene" to 'no' (similar to "if fibaro:countScenes() > 1 then fibaro:abort() end") 

you can code like this (almost like in the old days).

In practice the fibaro.sleep loop should be changed to a setTimeout loop to adopt the new coding style imposed, because sleep is a bit heavy on the system...  - but that's left as an exercise to the reader.

The condition sections to trigger on motion sensor with id 32 being breached should be:

Hi everyone. I'm a baby user OF HC3 and I'm interested in this issue to do as well.

But when I copied and pasted this code in my HC3 and try to make it run. I have this error :

Hello @YannickKARCHER

 

Try

Because I think the motion Sensor gives only "true" or "false"
