Thresholds - Bergman - 17.01.2024
Hi,
I have a humidity sensor with no threshold options, it only sends humidity on change.
I also have a dimmer which controls a fan and I want to control the fan with value depending on humidity level.
In 2 or 3 steps/thresholds.
Have been searching the forum but cannot find any similar, perhaps im using the wrong keywords.
Anyone who can give me a tip on what to use?
Regards,
Peter

HI Bergman
I am not sure that it is exactly what you need, but have a try,
and please give me feedback.
This code is for humidity scale object (event script).
Code:
local humidity = event.getvalue() -- scale object
local fan_addr = '38/1/26' -- scale object
local fan_val_level_1 = 30 -- values for scale object
local fan_val_level_2 = 60
local fan_val_level_3 = 100
if humidity < 33 then -- humidity less than 33%
grp.write(fan_addr, fan_val_level_1)
elseif humidity > 38 and humidity < 66 then -- 38% < humidity < 66%
grp.write(fan_addr, fan_val_level_2)
elseif humidity > 71 then -- humidity more than 71%
grp.write(fan_addr, fan_val_level_3)
endRegards,
Romans
Here is updated version of the script.
Code:
local humidity = event.getvalue() -- scale object
local fan_addr = '38/1/26' -- scale object
local fan_val_level_1 = 30 -- values for scale object
local fan_val_level_2 = 60
local fan_val_level_3 = 100
local hyst = 5 -- 5% humidity hysteresis
local hum_level_1 = 33 -- 33% humity
local hum_level_2 = 66 -- 66% humidity
if humidity < hum_level_1 then -- humidity less than 33%
grp.write(fan_addr, fan_val_level_1)
elseif humidity > hum_level_1 + hyst and humidity < hum_level_2 then -- 38% < humidity < 66%
grp.write(fan_addr, fan_val_level_2)
elseif humidity > hum_level_2 + hyst then -- humidity more than 71%
grp.write(fan_addr, fan_val_level_3)

Thank you RomansP!
I think I can use alot of that to make my own newbie-script work.
You start off with "Local", what/how does that do/work? I haven't used that or read about it so far.

In Lua, variables can be either local or global, and their scope determines where they can be accessed.
If before variable is local - means variable is local, if before variable is nothing it means variable is global.
Here is a pretty good summary about lua.

But you also can use chatGPT to improve your coding and ask some questions about code.
