display sunset time


ErnstH

Question

Hi all,

I would like to display a debug message with the time of sunset + an x amount of minutes. So there needs to be a calculation.

I have a few scenes whose start is dependent of the month, turning lights on earlier or later.

My debug message should be something like "today lights will be on at 21:15". That 21:15 is the calculated time.

I have these declarations at the start of scenes:

local sunsettime    = fibaro:getGlobalValue("SunsetTime");
local sunsetHour   = fibaro:getValue(1,'sunsetHour')

But I can't figure out how to do this. Shouldn't be very complicated, but i'm not good in LUA programming with time.

Hope someone can help me out.

    @10der Do you happen to know is there is a way to use an icon that is not on the Homecenter but on the internet?

     

    (For example an icon on the internet that represents the current weather, depending the weather state.)

    @SmartHomeEddy icon for what?

    IMHO HC3 should woirks without intrenet ? what icon will be showed if you have no internet connection?

    if ypu asking about QA icons - no. as i can see HC3 load icon localy from assert folder. 

    i have already asked Socha about adding icons for Angular materials... but were sent :)

    @10der an icon for a QuickApp. Yes, you have a point when no internet. Then I have to check that also. 

     

    My weather app sends in the json a link for an weather representing icon. Would be fun to use that. 

     

    Maybe there is a way to download the current icon from the internet with an other QuickApp or Lua script, save (overwrite) it on the local (icon) HC3 folder and use it. If no internet, then use the last saved icon.

    @10der - hiya sorry for coming back to here again, but trying to use the variable you helped me with in a scene but it's not triggering - can you see what i'm doing wrong?

     

    Scene condition:

    But here is the Value output on the variable which looks a bit odd:

    Should i be using a specific format for the value in the scene declaration?

    1st of. i can;t understand what you decide to achieve

    My QA re-calculated (yes it's not optimizaed) every minute - should at 00:00 maybe. in some cases at 03:00 

    but my question sill what you trying to get in scene? for what?

    just reading the current info about the sun?

    it`s very easy

    for example

    @10der ah thats great, thank you! I’ll test it and let you know how i get on.

     

    I want to use it to trigger electric blinds coming down in the house in the late afternoon.. So when the global variable changes, it will trigger a scene to close my blinds. But i will probably use it as well to trigger profile changes from night to day as well. At the moment i have a scene with a fixed time before Sunset to change the profile but i just find that sometimes thats not very accurate for the real outside conditions, and means the night lights come on a little too early and its still daylight.

     

    I think your QA might be more accurate for that :) 

     

    I’m also automating how bright my lights come on with motion depending on the time of the day, might even be able to use this for that i guess, just an idea

     

    Thanks for your help!

    @10der been testing this and i think I’ve got it working - triggering a scene. However, could you help me build in some of the other categories into events, it actually looks like Evening might be missing  from this example.

     

    Please login or register to see this code.

     

    And I think this is where its creating the even, but missing Evening which i think thats the one i would like to use

    How can i add Evening and any others which i may would like, thanks in advance for your help?

    @10der still haven't been able to get a scene to trigger properly, can you see anything obvious?

    @10der - is there a way to make it an object then, that would make this app really useful for me in running scenes?

     

    So if the value it just had the Day part it was as an object?

    I'm sure others would find this really useful too actually

    @10der - ow yeah i think i missed what you were suggesting before, so create an Event and trigger the scene from the event?

     

    is it still possible to have it update the Global Variable though? 

     

    thanks for your help

    both!

     

    u can read json data from globals

    u can handle event via scene

    Is it not possible then to just have the current variable showing here, rather than a current report on all of them?

     

    see here there looks like a report, current state on all of them.

     

    Please login or register to see this attachment.

     

    I setup the event scene like you suggested so i'm assuming i'll start to see those events coming through. If i use this approach though i was wondering how i add to the Events you have already setup "morning, day and night"

     

    i think this is it right? so how could i add in Evening for example as a new event?
