What is the loop equivalent "while true do"

[RBebenek 1]

Hi, 

In HC2 Lua I was used frequently loop "while true do ".

I can't find similar or rather the same "construction" on HC3 Lua.

Would like to reduce number of scenes (especially in case of HC3-Lite, where no of scenes is strictly limited).

For example global variable definition (day/night) in one scene, on HC2 looks like:

 

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% globals
--]]

 

while true do 
  
  -- downloading the current time, sunrise and sunset time

  local currentDate = os.date("*t"); 
  local sunriseHour = fibaro:getValue(1, 'sunriseHour'); 
  local sunsetHour = fibaro:getValue(1, 'sunsetHour'); 
  
  -- recalculation time to the number of minutes from the sunrise

 
  local currentMin = tonumber(currentDate.hour) * 100 + tonumber(currentDate.min); 
  local sunriseMin = tonumber(string.sub(sunriseHour, 1, 2)) * 100 + tonumber(string.sub(sunriseHour, 4)); 
  local sunsetMin = tonumber(string.sub(sunsetHour, 1, 2)) * 100 + tonumber(string.sub(sunsetHour, 4)); 

  -- settings global variable  "Day" 
  -- value is calculated every 60 sec.
  if 
    (currentMin<sunriseMin) 
      or 
        (currentMin>sunsetMin) 
    then 
    fibaro:setGlobal("TOD", "Night"); 
        fibaro:debug("Global Variable Time Of Day is : Night"); 
  else 
    fibaro:setGlobal("TOD", "Day"); 
    fibaro:debug("Global Variable Time Of Day is : Day"); 
  end 

 

 

 

TOD stand for Time of the day.

 

 

Will appreciate your kind support!
