HC3 simple scene not working

[rfat3r 0]

Hi!

 

 

I'm new to Fibaro automation.

Tried to set up a simple scene for my hot water circulator valve.

I just needed to turn it on for a time period on a daily basis.

I created a block scene for that, but it does nothing automatically, and if i run the scene manually, it just turns the device on fully omitting the conditions.

The valve was off both when the scene run automatically or started manually. 

 

The lua script behind my block scene:

{

  conditions = { {

      id = 112,

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "==",

      property = "state",

      type = "device",

      value = false

    }, {

      conditions = { {

          isTrigger = false,

          operator = "match>=",

          property = "cron",

          type = "date",

          value = { "43", "20", "*", "*", "*", "*" }

        }, {

          isTrigger = false,

          operator = "match<",

          property = "cron",

          type = "date",

          value = { "45", "20", "*", "*", "*", "*" }

        } },

      operator = "all"

    } },

  operator = "all"

}

 

Any help would be appriceated.

Hey there! Given you are new to this, my suggestion is to create 2 block scenes. Both set to run automatically.

The first scene turns the pump on at a predetermined time. The second scene turns it off at another predetermined time.

 

Once you get them working, you can convert them to LUA if you wish to play around some more.

Thank you for your suggestion!

 

 

It turned out that the time period is not working for some reason.

I did a block scene to turn on the valve at exact time every day, and created a delayed turn off in the same script.

Afterwards I evolved to turn on the valve based on movement in the kitchen and bathrooms but only for 5 min, after leaving a 5 min "cooldown period", when I won't turn on the valve based on movement, because the water in the pipes is hot enough to let the pump rest.

 

Thanks! - R

no worries and glad you got it working!
