Combining Multiple Scenes Into One

[Guest puma]

Hi I am wondering if there is a way to combine multiple scenes into the one. 

 

At the moment I have a block scene created for every room that has a blind to close at 30 mins before sunset. However they each have their own variable that if the window is open then it won't close the blind. I would like to turn the 9 block scenes into 1 if possible.

 

I have attached two just as a start I just need some help on how to mesh them together.

Something like this (don't have an HC2 anymore)

You lose the "other" part - running the scene manually - as we don't know what device to close. (we could loop through all devices and close them...)

@jgab Thanks this appears to make sense I will trial it.

 

I have some follow up questions 

 

Can you tell me is there also a way to remove the global value of "Sunset" now that I am using LUA? essentially I want it to run 30 mins before sunset. 

To do get my 30 mins before sunset currently this I have created 2 block scenes switching a variable between sunrise and sunset this seems unnecessary now and I feel LUA could possibly do that easier?

 

Also how do I manage a blind when it has more than two contact sensors or none at all? have a look at the revised code below I have included everything that I would like to control now.

If you want to trigger the scene at sunset-30 you can use something like

 

and code like

Thanks for your help however I think this is a little out of my depth.

 

I have added the timer lua code however I have no idea how to code like that I am very much at the beginner level.

This is what I have ended up with and it appears to work.

 

I did have to make one change and add an addition = just before tSunset as it was throwing an error without it.

, could replace all your scenes in one scene only

No LUA knowledge required

Thanks I wasn't aware of this I will have a look into it. Could save me a lot of stuffing around. I have had the HC2 for a few years now and only starting to get into this coding stuff to run some helpful scenes.

Would definitely recommend @jgab scheduling times or eventrunner.  I am not great with Lua but found it very understandable and easy to learn. Instructions and examples are available and i will never go back to multiple scenes running for times based, global based function etc. Besides having less strain on my cpu  it also allows for clever and easy programming and gives you a better oversight with all events running from 1 scene. I have cut back roughly 20 scenes and incorporated them into one. He also has an emulator to try out the scene while experimenting. I, like many, dont have enough time to really study programming/ lua but it really helps to read a little. Can be very satisfying when you get something up and running and you start to see that your previous scenes can be greatly improved. Good luck..
