Forall

Thank you very much for as always quick and superb replies

Hi two question: is it possible to use the "local id" field to define other things than a device ID? eg. parameter values. is if possible to use e.g. global+ and compare to another variable? e.g. GEA.add({"Global+", "VariableA", "VarableB", 30, "" { **do some fun things***}) i also have some problems with this one if anyone can figure of the issue it would be much appricated GEA.add({{"Global", "Driftlage", "Övervakning"},{"Value+", id["Flodesvakt"], 250}, {"Value+", id["Sandfilter"], 0.65},{"Value-", id["Sandfilter"], 0.9}, {"Value+", id["Ph"], 7},{"Value-", id["Ph"], 7.8}, {"Value+", id["Redox"], 599},{"Value-", id["Redox"], 750}}, 30, "", {{"Global", "Paminnelse", "0"}, {"Repeat"}}) it is not validated even though Flodesvakt=300, Sandfilter=0.71 , Ph=7.41 and Redox = 619 Best regards, Daniel

Hi all wonderful people. does anyone know if it is possible to do some easy math in GEA for example: * i would like to turn on a fan if the temperature indoors is above 25 degrees but the air outside is atleast 2 lower * or if the current measurement on my pressure gauge is 1.x times higher than yesterday (logged as a variable) * temp in room A is 5 degrees higher than in room B? Best regards, Daniel

Thanks again @lazer found that thanks to you once again! Best regards, Daniel

It's so hard to search for old discussions on GEA but if i remember correctly it is possible to use local variables within GEA but i cant find any clue on how to do it. I am wrong or could anyone tell me how to do this?

Thank you very much @Lazer

Hi all, a maybe basic question is it possible to use ">" or "<" with global variables or is there a better way to solve the problem. I am using some timer e.g. if it is nighttime and any outdoor lights is on, turn them of after 5 min if any door i opened or movement during night, turn on lights and reset the counter GEA.add ({"Global", "time of day", "night"}, 30, "", {"Global", "outdoor night timer", "inc+"}) GEA.add({618}, -1, "", {"Global", "outdoor night timer", "0"}) GEA.add({425}, -1, "", {"Global", "outdoor night timer", "0"}) GEA.add({553}, -1, "", {"Global", "outdoor night timer", "0"}) GEA.add({601}, -1, "", {"Global", "outdoor night timer", "0"}) GEA.add ({"Global", "outdoor night timer", >10}, -1, "", {"Turnoff", 620, 659, 362})

DEAR all, I am trying to migrate to HC3 but have porblems with this new GEA. I hope i have added some lines on the correct places but i do get the following error /warning as you see it didn't add line 23 nor do i see that it runs every 30 sec. Ps. was the language selection removed? I cant find it anymore

Thank you@pepite The idea is to use the counter to check an array of triggers if any of them starts reset the counter different amount of time. when all conditions are fulfilled execute something. eg. if outdoor motion sensor detects light reset the timer to -3 min but if the phones arrive at home reset the timer to -10 min.

Dear all, I have searched and searched without finding any answer to if it is possible to have local 'variables' in GEA that can be used with the inc+ function. Any one that can help out with a answer? Best regards, Daniel --anyone awake? GEA.add({{id["VardagsrumPIR"]},{"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}}, -1, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) -- if movement in livingroom restart timer GEA.add({{id["HallPIR"]},{"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}}, -1, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) -- if movement in hallway restart timer GEA.add({{"Power+", id["TV"], 50}}, 60, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) -- -- if the TV is on restart timer GEA.add({{id["VardagsrumDorr"]},{"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}}, -1, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) -- if the door to the pavio is open restart timer GEA.add({{id["HallLampa"]},{"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}}, 5*60, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) --if lights are on in Hallway restart timer GEA.add({{id["Sovrum1Lampa"]},{"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}}, 5*60, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) --if lights are on in masterbedroom restart timer GEA.add({{id["SoffbordLampa"]},{"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}}, 5*60, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"},{"Repeat"}}) --if lights are on by the couch restart timer --Are we asleep local ljusstyrning = GEA.add({"Global", "Solen", "Sen kväll"}, 60, "", {{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "inc+"},{"Repeat"}}) -- count up every minute local ljusstyrning2 = GEA.add({"Global+", "VaknaCounter", "15"}, -1, "", {{"Global", "Vakna", "Stilla"},{"Scenario", id["ManSlack"]},{"Global", "VaknaCounter", "0"}}) --then counting reached 15 define night and turn of all remaining lights etc. GEA.add({"Global", "Ljusstyrning", "Gäster/Man"}, 30, "", {{"StopTask", ljusstyrning},{"StopTask", ljusstyrning2}}) -- if we have guests keep all lights on GEA.add({"Global", "Ljusstyrning", "Auto"}, 30, "", {{"RestartTask", ljusstyrning},{"RestartTask", ljusstyrning2}}) ---reaktivate light management

Thank you all for great help now my Gea works as it should with some 40 functions For my next function i am wondering if there is any possibility to use randomization ( i know true randomization is impossible). The idea is that if the alarm system is armed then during the late night run a couple of parallel functions at "random" times between 21:45-23:00, turning off different groups of lights in each function. eg. Monday/day 1 -- 22:06 turn off Lights 1-3, 22:16 turn of lights 4-6, 22:59 turn off lights 7-10 Tuesday/day 2 -- 21:46 turn off Lights 7-10, 22:08 turn of lights 4-6, 22:22 turn off lights 1-3 Any brilliant ideas or solutions? Best regards, Daniel

Thank you very much @Steven, For me there was never any hurry but i sincerely appreciate all the time you have put into both developing GEA and for the support you give The new code looks like it is working as it should! I quite often envy those that have the same discipline as you, and not having the computer at home working evenings and weekends...

Dear @Steven, unfortionatly the log shows that each time i get movement it interperate the code as seting the varible to night instead of if night GEA.add(id["FramsidePIR"], -1, "", { {"Global", "Solen", "Natt"}, --if nighttime {"TurnOn", { id["UppfartenLampa"], id["EntreLampa"], id["GangLampa"] }} -- turn on lights } ) Best regards, Daniel

Dear @Steven, Thank you for the explanation! I will correct this in the code and give it a new try

Dear @pepite, Thank you so much for helping me out with this.
