simple scene in LUA for automating garage lights

[emariu 0]

I'm a beginner and I would like some help with a LUA scene to switch on garage lights when garage door sensor is tripped and it automatically switch them off after 5 minutes(timeout) after the door sensor is not tripped anymore(door closed).I searched the forum and found very elaborated(complex) solutions like Very smart lights  or Advanced llighting control etc.. but they are way more than I need and I didn't manage to configure them.. not have the knowledge

I do not need lux settings(night or day)

Can someone please help me with the code?

 

Thank you

I put this code:

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
520 value
569 value
--]]
local light=520             -- ID light (Dimmer)
  local motion=569            -- ID motion sensor
  local maxTime  = 1*60      -- time max motion safety
  local dimTime  = 3*60      -- time to dim
  local dimValue = 100        -- value to dim
  local sleepTime = 5 

  function loopUntil(fun,cont,secs)
    local function loop()
      if not fun() then 
        fibaro.setTimeout(1000*secs,loop) 
      else 
        if cont then cont()
        end 
      end
    end
    fibaro.setTimeout(1000*secs,loop)
  end

  fibaro.call(light, 'setValue', 100)   --fibaro.call (light,"turnOn") 
  fibaro.debug("Luzes Dimmer On")    

  local safeTime = 0
  local dimmed = false
  
  loopUntil(

    function()                                     -- Loop function
      if safeTime >= maxTime then return true end                
      safeTime=safeTime+sleepTime                   -- Timer SEGURO
      fibaro.debug("Contando Tempo Seguro",safeTime,maxTime) 
      if safeTime >= dimTime and not dimmed then
        fibaro.call(light,"setValue",dimValue)
        dimmed = true
      end
      if fibaro.getValue(motion,'value') then --> '0' then -- motion violado
        safeTime=0       -- reset safeTime
        dimmed = false
        fibaro.call(light,"setValue",100)
        fibaro.debug("Reset", safeTime)
      end
    end,

    function()  -- Things to do after the loop ends
      fibaro.call(light,"turnOff")    
      fibaro.debug ("Luzes Dimmer Off")    
    end,
    sleepTime
  ) 

 

but I got error [DEBUG] 22:25:00: 2021-05-31 22:25:00.771722 [ fatal] Unknown exception: /opt/fibaro/scenes/56.lua:26: Assertion failed: Expected string
 

I do not need deem because I have Fibaro switch, not dimmer for lights..

Sorry, I didn't see that you had an HC2. This code runs on the. HC3.

OK.. do you have any sugestion for how to acomplish this on my HC2? (not with dimmer,but simple switch for lights)

 

Thank you

--[[

%% properties

XXX value 

%% events

%% globals

--]]

 

 

if (fibaro:countScenes()>1) then

-- fibaro:debug("abort")

fibaro:abort();

end

 

 

 

if (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(XXX, "value")) > 0)  then

local timer = 300; -- time in secs

fibaro:call(XXY, "turnOn");

 

repeat

fibaro:sleep(1000);

 

timer = timer - 1

if (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(XXX, "value")) > 0) then

timer=300 -- time in secs

 

end

 

until (timer<1)

fibaro:call(XXY, "turnOff");

 

end


Try this where

XXX = motion sensor ID

XXY = light ID

I think it's working nice..Will test more in depth tomorrow

Many thanks for the help !
