not working script with timer - AlexLV - 24.04.2018

Hello,

please help me find error. Task - when light in bathroom is off - i want swith on ventilation for 10 minutes. Found timer script at forum, but something is wrong in my script. Group 0/2/1 is 1 when light is Off and 0/2/1 is 0 when light is On. 6/0/1 and 6/0/2 switch On/Off ventilator. When light is off, ventilator starting but not switching off... May be problem is that 0/2/1 is always =1 till light is Off??

-- group address or name Vanna light on/off
addr = '0/2/1'

-- find required object
obj = grp.find(addr)

-- object exists and current state is "on"
if obj and obj.data then -- I think my problem is here but how to change correctly?
-- delta is in seconds
delta = os.time() - obj.updatetime
grp.write('6/0/1', 1)
grp.write('6/0/2', 1)
-- switch off when timer expires
if delta >= 10 * 60 then
log(os.time())
log(delta)
log(obj.updatetime)
grp.write('6/0/1', 0)
grp.write('6/0/2', 0)
end
end

If your light status object is inverse you need to add not:

Code:
if obj and not obj.data then

I added inverse, but anyway something is not correct - timer not working.When light is off, ventilator starting, but not stopping...I put less time, 1 minute, but the same..

What could be wrong?

Is it a resident or a scheduled script?

RE: not working script with timer - AlexLV - 25.04.2018

sorry it is event-based... It shoudbe resident?

Hi
Do it like that.
Resident script with interval as you want. This will decide how fast it will switch on and off from receiving false

Code:
addr = '0/2/1'

addrVent1 = '6/0/1'

addrVent2 = '6/0/2'

timer = 600

-----------------------------------------------

obj = grp.find(addr)

delta = os.time() - obj.updatetime 

if obj and not obj.data and delta < timer then 

  grp.checkwrite(addrVent1, true)

  grp.checkwrite(addrVent2, true) 

elseif obj and not obj.data and delta >= timer then  

  grp.checkwrite(addrVent1, false)

  grp.checkwrite(addrVent2, false)

end
