Remaining time or counter

[CHOUAIBOU]

I think above just copy of previous post...

Guys, can you please post here final script?? I tried to make changes mentioned but not work for me..

Hi AlexLV,
Please find bellow the working script. There was an error in the time string format.
Merry Christmas

B.R,

Chouaibou, BIG THANKS

Now it finally working!!! You just forgot insert input address, so below all should work fine

I wish to all Happy New Year

Hi. 
How correctly reset this timer in taster key is pressed before timer finished?? If use this from script:

-- Logic can be turned of by value 0
Off_by_Value_Zero = true

timer just stopped not resetted. If I press input key again timer just starting again. How change script? 
Thank you for help.
Alex

Code:

blocking = grp.read('0/0/1')
Out01 = '0/0/2'

if AddressOutput == true and (blocking == true or blocking == 1) then grp.write (out01, true)
  else
  if AddressOutput == false and (blocking == true or blocking == 1) then grp.write (out01, false)
  end
end

Hello, if possible I would like to include in this script one more function, it would be a block. But I can't make it work.

[admin]

This script is incorrect. grp.read sends read request but does not return current value. You need to use grp.getvalue instead.

It can also be simplified like this:

Code:

value = event.getvalue()
blocking = grp.getvalue('0/0/1')

if blocking then
  grp.write('0/0/2', value)
end

In FBeditor there's Select switch > Lock out block that can be used.

Hi admin, thanks for your response, I need to include it in the script itself. I have tried your script and it only activates the output if the block is true, but I need if the block is true that it activates and deactivates me at the end of the time.

[admin]

If you don't want to run script if blocking is set to true then simply add this to the start of your script:

Code:

blocking = grp.getvalue('0/0/1')

if not blocking then
  return
end

[davidchispas]

If you don't want to run script if blocking is set to true then simply add this to the start of your script:

Code:

blocking = grp.getvalue('0/0/1')

if not blocking then
  return
end

Thanks Admin, it works perfectly!

I have a small error activating the lock. If the timing is already started before blocking ... at the end of that time, send false. Is it possible to correct not send it?

Hi Erwin,

this is super script As I sent some times ago private mail to you and you recommend to me use it - I used this script, all is working wonderful Big thanks!!! One thing is absent in your script. We can just stop it if Logic turn off = 1, but can we somehow reset time before it will end by timer? In that case we will have super timer with start/stop/blocking/reset possibilities..

BR,

Alex

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Hi,

If you send a 1 again on the trigger object it should reset the time and start counting from start.

BR,

Erwin

[AlexLV]

Erwin,

Yes, I thought about such option, but I am using this at visu:

-- Use time left indication
UseTimeLeft = true -- Set to false if no time left indication is used

So when I stop I see remained time, if I restart it - time starts from the beginning. But I need if I reset timer - timer ends and remain time = zeros and output deactivated, before countdown finished by themselves.. Tried different ways, but not successfully to solve this idea with your script..

Thank you so much for the correction! Now it works perfectly! It is a great script!

Hi,

BR,

Erwin

The count starts from begging but the output is not resends 1.
Is there something more that needs to be done for this?

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Hi,

Change line 80-83:

Code:

ValueOutput = grp.getvalue(AddressOutput)
if ValueOutput == false then
  grp.write(AddressOutput, true)
end

Into:

Code:

grp.write(AddressOutput, true)

This way the output is not checked on state

Hi,

Change line 80-83:

Code:

ValueOutput = grp.getvalue(AddressOutput)
if ValueOutput == false then
  grp.write(AddressOutput, true)
end

Into:

Code:

grp.write(AddressOutput, true)

This way the output is not checked on state

BR,

Erwin

Yeah thanks! 
Now I want to implement a Nightmode that changes the output after nightshift. 
I change the outeput address to "AddressOutputDay" and added these new ones "AddressOutputNight",  "NighMode" and "AddressOutputStatus".
Then changed the script like this

Code:

   StairCaseTime = ValueExternalTime * Multiply_Seconds * SetFac
    ValueOutput = grp.getvalue(AddressOutputStatus)
    if ValueOutput == false and NightMode == false then
     grp.write(AddressOutputDay, true)
    else
      grp.write(AddressOutputNight, true)
   end

But it just uses "AddressOutputNight" even if NightMode is false or true. 
What is the right way of doing this?

Hi,

I need to see the complete script as now there is no way of telling what you do wrong, i can’t see what you have declared for the night mode vars etcetera...

Hi,

You declare NightMode = 'x/x/x' and later you compare NightMode == false, this will not work..

Use: NightMode = grp.getvalue('x/x/x')

Perfect, it did the trick! Thanks. 

Is it possible to implement a script that, after staircase time the light level dims smoothly down instead of switch to 0, without changing the dim parameters in the KNX dimmer?
