Scenes #16

Hello, Thanks for this great plugin. Is it possible to switch on/off a groupe defined in scenes? I've want to turn on and off my Ender 3 and my led at the same time. Thanks

jneilliii commented 4 years ago

I've never tried, assuming the scene has an index I would suspect it would work. I personally don't use this plugin or domoticz.

Ok, strange to make a plugin but don't use it. API is here: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL%27s#Turn_a_scene_.2F_group_on_or_off

/json.htm?type=command&param=switchscene&idx=&switchcmd=

    idx = id of your scene/group.
    switchcmd = "On", "Off" or "Toggle" (case sensitive!)
    Scenes can only be turned On

I will have a look later and try to make a PR.

I agree, it was a little strange but the plugin was created by request from someone that saw my TPLink plugin. It wasn't too difficult to achieve. Based on your comment above though, if a scene can only be turned on, what's the point? Don't know if that's a documentation issue on their site or not since they say swtchcmd can be on, off, or toggle.

Because there are two type of Scenes, group and scene. Yes I know it's wired. Scene can only be turn on but a group can be turn on and off. Thanks

Cool. Happy to accept a pull request, the changes would probably be minimal.

I just checked a bit of the code, but to be honest, my Python is c.r.A.p. So you seem to use strUrl with switchLight. For setting a scene it would be /json.htm?type=command&param=switchscene&idx=8&switchcmd=On (or "Off" in case you wanted off) The reason I didn't fiddle with it, is that I believe you would need to add option in the interface to select if it is a switch of a scene. The main reason I use a scene, is that I have 2 sonoff switches (1 for Rpi, 1 for printer) and the scene itself turns of the rpi at 1 minute, while the printer after 10 minutes.

@countcobolt why don't you try using Block Events, it should be pretty easy to do. If switch ON then after X sec light on ...... image image
