Timer - How to improve

[Fcs]

Hi everyone,

I'm using a script found on this forum, by Daniel, I believe, which I've modified a little to suit my needs. The only problem I'm having is that every time a READ passes on the bus, the updatetime value is updated, so my timer doesn't work as expected. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Code:

timers = {   {     name = 'TEST',     input = '0/6/100',     inputValueForTrigger = false,     output = '14/0/202',     outputValue = true,     outputTimeMinutes = 6,     writeInverseValue = true   }, } for _, timer in ipairs(timers) do        -- find required object   obj = grp.find(timer.input)   -- object exists and current state is "on"   if obj and obj.data == timer.inputValueForTrigger then     -- delta is in seconds        delta = os.time() - obj.updatetime         -- switch when timer expires     if delta >= timer.outputTimeMinutes * 60 then            grp.checkwrite(timer.output, timer.outputValue)     end       else         if obj then       if timer.writeInverseValue then         grp.checkwrite(timer.output, not timer.outputValue)       end     end       end   end
