Scene Controlled Via Contact Switch

[Guest puma]

I am still trying to get the hang of LUA it's not going so great but I am trying to write a basic scene to turn on my garage lights on when either one of my garage doors are opened. However I can't get it to work correctly at this stage it will only work if I manually run the scene once the door is open it doesn't seem to realise that the door has opened. 

 

It would also be nice to some how put a timer on it to say turn off after 5 mins.

 

This is what I have come up with.

 

Thanks

 

--[[
%% properties
237 Value
%% events
%% globals
--]]

local myVariable
myVariable = fibaro:getValue(237, "state")
if (myVariable == 'Open') then
  fibaro:call(542, "turnOn")
end

I did this on my HC3 look!

But I also have sensors for the garage open and close at my gate.

Thanks for your help but I don't have a HC3 I am running a HC2.

So I have done a little work and managed to come up with this however it still isn't right.

 

--[[
%% properties
237 state
%% events
%% globals
--]]

if (tonumber(fibaro:countScenes()) > 1) 
then 
    fibaro:debug("Script already running.");
    fibaro:abort(); 
end

if (fibaro:getValue(237, "state")== "Open")
then
    fibaro:call(542, "turnOn");
    fibaro:sleep(300000)
    fibaro:call(542, "turnOff")
  
if (fibaro:getValue(237, "state")== "Close")
then
    fibaro:call(542, "turOff"); 
end

 

 

It does work when I open the door although for some reason it is quite delayed the door will be open for a good 10 seconds before it will turn the lights on.

 

The timer does work for 5 mins however if I close the door it doesn't turn the lights off it will only go out with the timer.

 

What have I done incorrectly?
