- √ - Close all my shutters 15min before sunrise

[chrissou]

Hello, i’m a noob in smarthome and i would like to use logical but i don’t know how.

I would like to close all my shutters all days 15min before sunrise. I know i can use crontab on each item but i think i can do better with logical and something like sh.*.shutter maybe ? Is it possible how ?

Thanks a lot

PS : sorry for english but i didn't speak a word of german ...

You can use crontab for logics as well

Great it works

i do this : logic.conf

[VoletFermeture]
        filename = volet_fermeture.py
        crontab = sunset+15m

[VoletOuverture]
        filename = volet_ouverture.py
        crontab = 30 7 * *

volet_fermeture.py :

for item in sh.match_items('*.volet'):
        item('off')

and volet_ouverture.py :

import random
import time

#if holidays open the shutter random between 7h30 and 10h30 
if sh.system.absence.vacances:
        time.sleep(random.randint(0,180*60))

for item in sh.match_items('*.volet'):
        item('on')

Thanks a lot

I'm not an expert for this, but the sleep will pause one thread just for waiting. It would be better to calculate a random datetime between 7:30 and 10:30 and add the logic again to the scheduler for this specific datetime. Then the scheduler can handle the thread resources.

I understand what you mean but i don't know how to re schedule the logic ?

Logics ? SmartHome.py 1.0 documentation

Alright

i modify to reschedule and i include the public holiday with google calendar :

import random
import time
import datetime

today = sh.now().date()
exeption = sh.ical('https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/french__fr%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics')
now = datetime.datetime.now()

if sh.system.absence.vacances() and now.hour == 7 and now.minute == 30:
        hour = random.randint(8, 10)
        minute = random.randint(0, 30) if hour == 10 else random.randint(0, 59)
        sh.scheduler.change('VoletOuverture', cron="{} {} * *".format(minute,hour))
elif (today not in exeption and now.weekday() not in (5, 6)) or sh.system.absence.vacances():
        for item in sh.match_items('*.volet'):
                item('on')
                sh.scheduler.change('VoletOuverture', cron="30 7 * *")

With scheduler.change() you change the cron entry for this logic in my opinion. So your logic asking for hour == 7 and minute == 30 only works after restart

Use sh.scheduler.trigger() instead to trigger the logic the second time each day. With this you do not change the cron entry itself.

Thanks for your advices

My new code :

import random
from datetime import timedelta

exeption = sh.ical('https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/french__fr%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics')
now = sh.now()

if sh.system.absence.vacances() and now.hour == 7 and now.minute == 30:
        trigg = sh.now() + timedelta(minutes=random.randint(0, 180))
        sh.trigger('VoletOuverture',dt=trigg)
elif (now.date() not in exeption and now.weekday() not in (5, 6)) or sh.system.absence.vacances():
        for item in sh.match_items('*.volet'):
                item('on')

[2ndsky]

if you use logic.trigger() instead of sh.trigger() the logic name can be omitted

[chrissou]

I replace

sh.trigger('VoletOuverture',dt=trigg)

by

logic.trigger(dt=trigg)

it works

Thanks a lot for your help

no worries
