function from timer - Danny - 22.07.2026

Dear readers,

I have a timer that receives a virtual group address via a value of 0-100%.

As soon as this value exceeds 1 percent, the timer's value must be sent to 1/0/1, and I also need to activate a switching actuator on group addresses 1/1/1 through 1/1/7.
As soon as the timer's value reaches 0%, the switching actuator must also turn off.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks

Can you explain the 1% logic? If the timer value is 1 then nothing should happen or should it turn on the actuators?

If 0 = off, 1..100 = on then the following script should do what you need.

Code:
value = event.getvalue()

on = value > 0
if on then
  grp.checkwrite('1/0/1', value)
end

for i = 1, 7 do
  grp.checkwrite('1/1/' .. i, on)
end

Thanks for this script;

I modified it slightly because I don't need to send commands to consecutive group addresses.
The script works with the switching commands, but when I send 0%, it doesn't transmit that value—though it does transmit anything above 1%.

Code:
value = event.getvalue()

on = value > 0

if on then
  grp.checkwrite('1/0/1', value)
end

addresses = {
  '1/1/1',
  '1/1/2',
  '1/1/4',
  '1/1/5',
    '1/1/7',
  '1/1/8',
  '1/1/10',
  '1/1/11',
  '1/1/13',
  '1/1/14',
  '1/1/16',
  '1/1/17',
  '1/1/19',
  '1/1/20'
}

for _, address in ipairs(addresses) do
  grp.checkwrite(address, on)
end

If you always want to write the timer value then replace these lines (5-7):

Code:
if on then
  grp.checkwrite('1/0/1', value)
end

With this:

Code:
grp.checkwrite('1/0/1', value)
