Get variable change time - MantasJ - 20.10.2019

Hello,

I want to do such scenario: whenever my boolean variable changes state to "false", I would like to know how much time it needed to become "false" from "true". How can I effectively achieve this?

Thank You!

Hi,

Try this:

Code:
value = event.getvalue()

if value == true then

  storage.set(_SCRIPTNAME, os.time())

else

  lastupdatetime = storage.get(_SCRIPTNAME)

  if lastupdatetime then

    difference = os.time() - lastupdatetime

    log(difference)

  end

end

BR,

Erwin

Thank You! I have thought of something like this myself but thought that maybe there is a seperate function for this Smile
