Light control script help needed - AlexLV - 25.11.2018

Hello, need a little help.

Task - storage room light control.

I have 19 storage boxes. (my script prepared for 3 boxes now for testing). Boxes with movement detector. When motion in storage is detected - group is true, if off - then false. For every box I need time light is ON (5-30 min) and light value (30-80%). Every storage box has 2 light group. I tried to use irrigation script found at forum, but something i doing not a right way. Need advice.
output 0/2/0 - Box1 group1 light value (in %, (object data type - 5 - 1 byte unsigned integer)
outputa 0/2/1 - Box1 group2 light value (settings) (in %, (object data type - 5 - 1 byte unsigned integer)
timer 1/2/1 - Box1 light is On time in minutes (5-30 min) (object data type - 5 - 1 byte unsigned integer)
enable 1/0/0 Box1 movement sensor status (object data type - 01.002 - Boolean)
level 1/1/1 Box1 lighting level in % for box1 lamp group1 and group2, (object data type - 05.001 - Scale)

Questions:
1. I think not correct data types for my groups.
2. Is possible to use such construction: grp.write(item.output, item.level) - in cycle ?? I think i need convert data formats before.
3. How log in one line time, and light level used (i mean 2 or more data in one log line?)
4. How at visu I can show time till light will be off (If I set timer as example for 5 minutes for box 1. Just put time to storage and compare it with system time and show difference at visu?)

Any advises will be super Smile

For correcting my errors. If i use grp.write(item.output, 80) At least light is on for 80% value for box1 1st group

Script:

mintimer = 1 -- minimum timer value in minutes
maxtimer = 30 -- maximum timer value in minutes
objects = {
{
output = '0/2/0',
outputa = '0/2/1',
timer = '1/2/1',
enable = '1/0/0',
level = '1/1/1',
},
{
output = '0/2/2',
outputa = '0/2/3',
timer = '1/2/2',
enable = '1/0/1',
level = '1/1/2',
},
{
output = '0/2/4',
outputa = '0/2/5',
timer = '1/2/3',
enable = '1/0/2',
level = '1/1/3',
}
}
log(level)
function dosleep(obj)
local timer = grp.getvalue(obj)
timer = tonumber(timer)
log(timer)
if timer then
if timer < mintimer then
timer = mintimer
elseif timer > maxtimer then
timer = maxtimer
end
log(timer)
sleep(timer * 60) -- minutes -> seconds
end
end
for _, item in ipairs(objects) do
if grp.getvalue(item.enable) then
grp.write(item.output, item.level)
grp.write(item.outputa, item.level)
dosleep(item.timer)
grp.write(item.output, 0)
grp.write(item.outputa, 0)
end
end
