Long loop run for water pump ! - phongvucba - 22.01.2022

Hi everybody ! Hope everyone can help me!

I have a problem that I don't know how to do, the owner asked me to program the water pump to run in a loop. Specifically, run for 1 hour, rest for 30 minutes, then run again for 1 hour, then rest for 30 minutes. And so on until they press the stop command. Has anyone done this before? I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you very much !

What you can do is create a boolean start/stop object and add this script to it:

Code:
script.set('Pump Interval', event.getvalue())

and add a resident script called 'Pump Interval' (set it to 0 seconds) and add this script to it:

Code:
pump_address = '1/1/1'

grp.checkwrite(pump_address, true)

os.sleep(3600)

grp.checkwrite(pump_address, false)

os.sleep(1800)

BR,

It makes sense to turn the pump off when the script is disabled. Otherwise it can be left on when the resident script is disabled.

Event script:

Code:
pump_address = '1/1/1'

value = event.getvalue()

script.set('Pump Interval', value)

grp.checkwrite(pump_address, value)

Good catch (:

Hello ! I have a little trouble in this loop !
I already did that loop! Thanks everyone
I have the following problem and have the following objects:
-4 valve address is 1/1/1 ; 1/1/2 ; 1/1/3 ;1/1/4
- Pump address is 2/1/1
I want to program 1 of the other 4 valves to be ON then the pump must be ON. And if pump is ON, all 4 valves are ON. Pump is OFF, all 4 valves are OFF
In the 2/1/1 address pump I'm writing:
-----------------------------------
value = event.getvalue()
if value==true then
grp.write('1/1/1',true)
grp.write('1/1/2',true)
grp.write('1/1/3',true)
grp.write('1/1/4',true)
else
grp.write('1/1/1',false)
grp.write('1/1/2',false)
grp.write('1/1/3',false)
grp.write('1/1/4',false)
end
---------------------------------
In each valve I write, for example valve number 1 1/1/1:
value = event.getvalue()
if value==true then
grp.write('2/1/1',true)
end
---------------------------------
I am having an endless loop, and there is no way to solve the above problem.

Replace grp.write with grp.checkwrite. First script can be made shorter like this:

Code:
value = event.getvalue()

grp.checkwrite('1/1/1', value)

grp.checkwrite('1/1/2', value)

grp.checkwrite('1/1/3', value)

grp.checkwrite('1/1/4', value)

I tried and it didn't work.! For example, all 4 of my values are OFF(1/1/1;1/1/2;1/1/3;1/1/4). When I 1/1/1=ON then 2/1/1=ON, so all my values are also =ON (and I don't want the rest to be ON) (Only 1 valve value is OFF, here it pulls all 4 valves, that's not correct)

In this case you can add checks that the event script was not triggered by another event script.

Code:
if event.sender ~= 'se' then

  value = event.getvalue()

  grp.checkwrite('1/1/1', value)

  grp.checkwrite('1/1/2', value)

  grp.checkwrite('1/1/3', value)

  grp.checkwrite('1/1/4', value)

end

Code:
value = event.getvalue()

if value == true and event.sender ~= 'se' then

  grp.write('2/1/1',true)

end
