ConditionStaysTrue

Hi all, just seeing if anyone knows if ConditionStaysTrue function that was available in PICED works with NAC & SHACs

 

Shac works totally differently to piced,
What are you intending to achieve in shac?
In Shac we have event scripts, same as ifHasChanged in piced
Or resident scripts which run every x sec.

 

Wanting to put a button on Vis page, that the user needs to press for lets say 2 seconds before the event is executed. Like a Building "ALL OFF" don't want the lights to go off if the user accidently press to ALL OFF button.

 

Create a lighting group called 'Trigger all off', then an event-based script for that group:

Code:

logging = true

val = event.getvalue()

if val == 255 then
  if logging then log('Start delay') end
  storage.set('All off triggered', socket.gettime())
else
  last = storage.get('All off triggered')
  if last ~= nil then
    if socket.gettime() - last > 2 then
      if logging then log('Trigger scene all off') end
      SetTriggerLevel('Entry / Egress', 'All Off')
    end
  end
  storage.set('All off triggered', nil)
end

In my network I have a trigger control group called "Entry / Egress", and it has a level of "All Off". The all off scene is set to fire on this action selector.

Create a bell-press in visualisation for the "Trigger all off" group.

 

I guess you could also use an integer User Parameter instead of a lighting group if you didn't want to pollute lighting with lighting-support stuff like this. Haven't tried that though.

 

(And thanks for this idea. I'm reconfiguring all of my "All off" buttons to function this way... Visualisations, DLTs by using a lighting group. The number of times I have accidentally hit a key, then yelled out "Sorry!" to a household in darkness don't bear counting.)

Here's how I'm doing it:
1. Create a lighting group (e.g. 0/56/250 All Off Trigger)
2. Add keywords to that group (e.g. Delayed Trigger, trigger=Entry / Egress, selector=All Off, delay=2)
3. Create an event-based script called 'Delayed trigger', and set it to fire on the keyword "Delayed Trigger"

This allows multiple configurable delayed triggered scenes using bell-press. I have "All Off", "Inside Off", "Outside Off" and more.

The script:

Code:

logging = true

function trim(s) return s:match "^%s*(.-)%s*$" end -- Remove leading and trailing spaces

val = event.getvalue()

if val == 255 then
  if logging then log('Start delay for delayed trigger '..event.dst) end
  storage.set('Delay triggered '..event.dst, socket.gettime())
else
  last = storage.get('Delay triggered '..event.dst)
  if last ~= nil then
    local trigger = ''
    local selector = ''
    local delay = 2
    tags = grp.gettags(event.dst)
    for _, t in ipairs(tags) do
      tp = string.split(t, '=')
      tp[1] = trim(tp[1])
      if tp[2] then
        tp[2] = trim(tp[2])
        if tp[1] == 'trigger' then trigger = tp[2]
        elseif tp[1] == 'selector' then selector = tp[2]
        elseif tp[1] == 'delay' then delay = tonumber(tp[2])
        end
      end
    end
    if trigger == '' or selector == '' then
      log('Error: Delayed trigger group does not have a trigger and/or selector')
      do return end
    end

    if socket.gettime() - last > delay then
      if logging then log('Delayed triggering '..trigger..', '..selector) end
      SetTriggerLevel(trigger, selector)
    else
      if logging then log('NOT triggering '..trigger..', '..selector..' - press not long enough') end
    end
  end
  storage.set('Delay triggered '..event.dst, nil)
end

 

Thanks for the coding. Will have a look later to incorporate in the homes SHAC
