Display time of object

[Dré]

You will need two scripts for this.
1. Event script mapped to control or status object if the load:

Code:

value = event.getvalue() key = 'ontime' out = '32/1/5' if value then   if not storage.get(key) then     storage.set(key, os.time())     grp.update(out, '0m')   end else   storage.delete(key)   grp.update(out, '') end

2. Scheduled script that runs every minute:

Code:

key = 'ontime' out = '32/1/5' time = storage.get(key) if time then   delta = os.time() - time   minutes = math.floor(delta / 60)     hours = math.floor(minutes / 60)   minutes = minutes % 60   if hours > 0 then     res = hours .. 'h '   else     res = ''   end     res = res .. minutes .. 'm'   grp.update(out, res) end

32/1/5 is the object that shows the load ON time, set data type to 250 byte string. If you need multiple status outputs then use a unique storage key for each load (ontime in this example).

I have a question, i try to use this script more times
i change the names value, key and out on both of the script on all places.
so both scripts use different names.

but if i trigger the seconds action, the first timer start for 0 again, some know what i do wrong?

my first event script for Laptop Table

Code:

Laptop_Table = event.getvalue()        --'0 WCD Woonkamer - laptoplader eettafel (tm)' ontime_Laptop_Table = 'ontime' output_Laptop_Table = '32/1/201'    --'Laptop eettafel [timer on]'         if Laptop_Table then   if not storage.get(ontime_Laptop_Table) then     storage.set(ontime_Laptop_Table, os.time())     grp.update(output_Laptop_Table, '0 m')   end else   storage.delete(ontime_Laptop_Table)   grp.update(output_Laptop_Table, '') end

my first Resident script for Laptop Table

Code:

ontime_Laptop_Table = 'ontime' output_Laptop_Table = '32/1/201'            --'Laptop eettafel [timer on]'     time = storage.get(ontime_Laptop_Table) if time then   delta = os.time() - time   minutes = math.floor(delta / 60)      hours = math.floor(minutes / 60)   minutes = minutes % 60   if hours > 0 then     res = hours .. 'h '   else     res = ''   end      res = res .. minutes .. ' minuten'   grp.update(output_Laptop_Table, res) end

my second event script for Kitchen

Code:

Kitchen = grp.getvalue('1/4/4')            --'0 Verl. Kitchen (tm)' ontime_Kitchen = 'ontime' output_Kitchen = '32/1/202'            --'Kitchen [timer on]'     if Kitchen then   if not storage.get(ontime_Kitchen) then     storage.set(ontime_Kitchen, os.time())     grp.update(output_Kitchen, '0 m')   end else   storage.delete(ontime_Kitchen)   grp.update(output_Kitchen, '') end

my first Resident script for Kitchen

Code:

ontime_Kitchen = 'ontime' output_Kitchen = '32/1/202'            --'Kitchen [timer on]' time = storage.get(ontime_Kitchen) if time then   delta = os.time() - time   minutes = math.floor(delta / 60)      hours = math.floor(minutes / 60)   minutes = minutes % 60   if hours > 0 then     res = hours .. 'h '   else     res = ''   end      res = res .. minutes2 .. ' minuten'   grp.update(output_Kitchen, res) end

another thing,
for me it looks like line 1 and line 4 of the Resident script look like do the same thing, or m i wrong?
