We have 3 LM which control the light in a park. The 3 LM's may not get online, so they can't communicate in any way. 
For sunset and sunrise switching it feels like it's drifting, making the switch-on and -off insimultanious. 

We have set the long- and latitude on each LM for out exact location.

How do we make sure it switches on at the same time in the best way? 

I did realize some of the LMs had drifted in it's time, so I also adapted the time from my Windows to all 3 LMs, but the problem persists..

Thanks in advance.]]>

What originally started as a way to stop copy-pasting scripts between VS Code, Git and LogicMachine gradually turned into a complete development workflow for LM and SL devices.
Current public functionality includes:
  • Sync scripts between device and VS CodeDiff viewer for local vs device changes Auto-upload on saveRun scripts directly from VS Code Enable/disable scriptsCreate, edit and delete scripts Live logs and error monitoring Multi-device support Object browser with live updates Storage viewer and Support for Cloudflare Access and reverse-proxied deployments

Get the extension here and read the quickstart before you ask how it works.

A few gifs and screenshots:

We have added a live-object view with rapid toggle booleans and write analog values using the built in websocket from the LM/SL.
This shows on-change highlighting, filtering, sorting alphabetical or by most recent change, etc.

[Image: 701NXtT.png]

Enhanced and refined the diff view when syncing from device:

If the storage viewer app is installed on the LM/SL object storage is also viewable:

The extension is actively developed, so if you run into issues or have feature requests, post them here and I'll take a look.

I tried to find an answer but didn't find it. I'm writing some web pages to put in the user folder. The pages uses the localbus library with a newly created "dashboard" user. I succeeded in connecting the web pages to the localbus acalling the login page and authenticating with the new user. I correctly get notifications of events. I would like to understand how keep the session valid without expiration. I see there is a cookie expiration in N days, is it possible to disable the expiration of the cookies so that the session from the tablet I'm using to the server will be kept open forever ? Or is there a login api call which the page can periodically call to refresh the session ? I would not like to show the user the default login page when session expires. Thanks for the help you could give to solve this issue

The corresponding KNX switch object addresses are 1/1/1, 1/1/4, and 1/1/7.
I created a virtual KNX object 32/1/1 and attached the following event script to it:
Code:
value = event.getvalue() grp.write('1/1/1', value) grp.write('1/1/4', value) grp.write('1/1/7', value)
In the visualization, I created a standard On/Off control using 32/1/1 as both the Control and Status object.
When I operate this control, it causes complete chaos on the DALI bus. It appears that the event script is executed dozens of times instead of just once. The ON/OFF commands are continuously sent to the three DALI luminaires and they never stop. The only time the commands stop is when the DALI bus eventually seems to lock up.

I have a timer that receives a virtual group address via a value of 0-100%.

As soon as this value exceeds 1 percent, the timer's value must be sent to 1/0/1, and I also need to activate a switching actuator on group addresses 1/1/1 through 1/1/7.
As soon as the timer's value reaches 0%, the switching actuator must also turn off.

Can someone help me with this?

Device: LM5P2-KDCZ

I'm unable to use the "data16" (0x09) data type in a Lua script.
I'm trying to trigger a Zigbee device using this event-based script. While running the script, I monitor all messages sent to the device using Wireshark.
With this script, I don't see any messages being sent, and I get a "no response" error in the LogicMachine logs.
If I change the data type to "uint16", for example, and run the script again, I can see that a message is sent to the device with Wireshark. However, it does not trigger the expected action, which is understandable since the data type is different.

Code:
local zb = require('applibs.zigbee') local address = '0004740001248162' local manufcode = 4129             local mode = event.getvalue() local res, err = zb.cmdsync('setrawattribute', address, 64513, 0, mode, 'data16', manufcode) if not res then   log('Writting error on contactor (' .. address .. '): ' .. tostring(err)) else   log('Contactor mode: ' .. tostring(mode)) end

Quote:Log :
Event for Mode contacteur (33/1/1) 20.07.2026 08:49:27
* string: Writting error on contactor (0004740001248162): no response

Here, you will find a capture of a message sent using another Zigbee tool. This is the message I would like to send using this script.

Does anyone know how to send a command with the "data16" data type from a Lua script?
If some Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL) data types are not supported by LogicMachine, is there any documentation available listing the supported data types?]]>
