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:

123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142

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

Map an event script to the input object and save the current timestamp in storage:

Code:

123

key = 'updatetime_' .. event.dst time = os.time() storage.set(key, time)

Then modify your timer script:

Code:

123

key = 'updatetime_' .. timer.input time = storage.get(key, 0) delta = os.time() - time

Thanks you,

this is the solution I wanted to avoid, I find it very comfortable to have all the timers in one file.

I don't yet know how “localbus” works, but couldn't I manage to create a kind of write capture?

Is there a place where I can find documentation?
