Help example on simple light controll, lux

[kenjirosama]

Hi.

I am new to this type of programming and had no problem with the block programing they used before but the fb is simply not working for me. 

I am trying to controll my light to go on below X LUX and of above Y lux. 
I simply doesnt get it to work. 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try this

Code:

1234567891011121314

lux = grp.getvalue('1/1/1') setpoint = grp.getvalue('1/1/2') output = '1/1/3' hysteresis = 20 --in %   Limit_ON = setpoint - ((hysteresis/100)*setpoint) Limit_OFF = setpoint + ((hysteresis/100)*setpoint)   if (lux >= Limit_OFF) then    grp.checkwrite(output, false) elseif  (lux <= Limit_ON) then      grp.checkwrite(output, true) end

Thank you very much for your reply!

Unfortunately I dont get it to work. 
created a resident script with the code and changed the adresses but doesnt look like the output changes regarldess of lux or input. 
I am probably doing something wrong but I dont know what.

Yes there was stupid mistake in line 3 corrected the original script

Works perfectly! Thank you so much!!!

Try this

Code:

1234567891011121314

lux = grp.getvalue('1/1/1') setpoint = grp.getvalue('1/1/2') output = '1/1/3' hysteresis = 20 --in %   Limit_ON = setpoint - ((hysteresis/100)*setpoint) Limit_OFF = setpoint + ((hysteresis/100)*setpoint)   if (lux >= Limit_OFF) then    grp.checkwrite(output, false) elseif  (lux <= Limit_ON) then      grp.checkwrite(output, true) end

I would like to replace the hysteresis from this script for a time period. So let's say i want an hysteresis for 30 minutes how can this be done?

You can use grp.find() and updatetime field to check when the last telegram was sent to this specific object. Then use os.time() to calculate the delta.
Alternative solution is to use a scheduled script that runs every X minutes.

Hi admin that will not work for me as the updatetime of the object is changing all the time.

Code:

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435

lux = grp.getvalue('1/0/3') azimut = grp.getvalue('5/5/2') alarm = grp.getvalue('4/0/1') hysterese = 10 if alarm == false then     if lux > 700 then       if azimut > 95 and azimut < 150 then         grp.write('2/3/1', 100)         grp.write('2/3/2', 0)         grp.write('2/3/6', 0)       elseif azimut > 180 and azimut < 230 then         grp.write('2/3/1', 0)         grp.write('2/3/2', 100)         grp.write('2/3/6', 0)       elseif azimut > 230 and azimut < 280 then         grp.write('2/3/1', 0)         grp.write('2/3/2', 0)         grp.write('2/3/6', 100)       else         grp.write('2/3/1', 0)         grp.write('2/3/2', 0)         grp.write('2/3/6', 0)       end     elseif lux < 500 then           object = grp.find('1/0/3')           time = object.updatetime -- time will change every time the object is updated       grp.write('2/3/1', 0)       grp.write('2/3/2', 0)       grp.write('2/3/6', 0)     end end

Either use storage to save the time when the script was run previously. Or use a scheduled script instead of event.

ok clear thanks.

Hello Admin,

I have a project where I want to use the script below to do a simple light control in steps. Can you please help me to achieve the same functionality but for multiple lights groups.
This will be a resident script with sleep time 10sec. I was thinking if I can create a table to map all variables and then a function to execute every 10sec. Or any better idea

Code:

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950515253

------Global Settings--------- min = 10 max = 100 hysteresis = 20 --------Light Group 1--------- local current = grp.getvalue('3/0/11')    --Area Lux Value local setpoint = grp.getvalue('3/1/11')    --Area Lux Setpoint Value local output = '3/3/11'            --Dim output local active = grp.getvalue('0/0/211')    --Light Control is active or not local disv = grp.getvalue('2/4/11')    --Status dim value local deltasc = setpoint - current             local deadband = math.abs(deltasc) < hysteresis local diva_up = disv + 5 local diva_down = disv - 5 local diva_up = math.min(diva_up, max) local diva_down = math.max(diva_down, min) if active and not deadband then   if disv ~= 0 then       if current < setpoint then     grp.checkwrite(output, diva_up)     elseif current > setpoint then     grp.checkwrite(output, diva_down)     end    end end --------Light Group 2---------- local current = grp.getvalue('3/0/12') local setpoint = grp.getvalue('3/1/12') local output = '3/3/12' local active = grp.getvalue('0/0/212') local disv = grp.getvalue('2/4/12') local deltasc = setpoint - current local deadband = math.abs(deltasc) < hysteresis local    diva_up = disv + 5 local    diva_down = disv - 5 local diva_up = math.min(diva_up, max) local diva_down = math.max(diva_down, min) if active and not deadband then   if disv ~= 0 then       if current < setpoint then     grp.checkwrite(output, diva_up)     elseif current > setpoint then     grp.checkwrite(output, diva_down)     end    end end

Thank you in advance.

Try this (untested):
