Howto triggercontinous/time based command and by event/change of device state

[rsjabbens 1]

Hi all,

 

I have a script to send a message when my garage door is opend / closed. Because the door is doing a close/open/close when closed i needed something to prevent sending multiple messages. 

This is working, however the counter i have is not reset, so i changed a bit, but now i guess i need to have some loop to validate if it is closed for more than 60 seconds to reset some counters and prevent the counters for only adding 1 when opening/closing the door.

 

How can the scene be triggered by a open/close, such as it already works now, and in addition a time validation/loop when the door is closed for more then 60 seconds to reset the counters? 

Ideally i want to add when the door is open for more than x minutes to receive some reminder, but this can be added later.

 

Any help is appriciated.

 

The script i created is added below.

 

Kind regards,

Roland

Here is a functional LUA scene for my Home Center 3 that is just a proof of concept for something I am working on that is only outputting messages in console window, maybe you can make it suit your needs. I am not really clear on what you want but this creates an object, sets some values and it is passed to a function(set of functions). It will wait and check periodically for conditions and ultimately expires.

 

The fine points to consider are handling multiple simultaneous scene executions. There may be better event based methods but I am not sure that's what you are after.
