LastTrip time different between variables

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting
1

I utilized some existing code and modified it for my needs. I have been troubleshooting why my logic around checking to make sure the tripped time is equal isn’t working. The first part is the code I have created. The second part is the output of the log file that I was watching. Can you please help me understand why this is occurring? The main variables to focus on are trippedtime and lastTrip.

trippedtime is pulled outside of the function and lastTrip is pulled inside of the function. I realize that I have created an infinite loop with this, but I am trying to understand why the two variables never will match!

[code]local sensorDeviceNo = 6 – Motion Sensor device number
local lightDeviceNo = 13 – Light device number
local period = 10 – Seconds
local countdown = 30
local SS_SID = “urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1” – Security Sensor Service ID
local SP_SID = “urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1” – Switch Power Service ID
local trippedtime = luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1”, “LastTrip”, 6)
local t = os.date(‘*t’)
local current = t.hour * 3600 + t.min * 60 + t.sec
local min_time = 17 * 3600 + 30 * 60
local max_time = 20 * 3600 + 15 * 60
local adult_time = 20 * 3600 + 15 + 60 + 1
local bed_time = 22 * 3600
local night_time = 22 * 3600 + 1
local morning = 6 * 3600
local morning_ready = 6 * 3600 + 1
local morning_ready_end = 8 * 3600 + 30 * 60

They would only ever match until the first time the motion detector was tripped.

Did you want to set:
trippedtime = LastTrip

When you detected they were not equal …

tail -f does not show the entire log …

They should have been equal at the time it occurred.

The sensor works this way:

  1. Motion actived
  2. As long as motion is activated, nothing is sent to Vera
  3. After 4 minutes of no motion, a No Motion signal is sent to Vera

Based on the timing of the script, this is how it should have occurred:

  1. No Motion Tripped
  2. Script activated
  3. lasttripped time is created
  4. function is called, but told to wait 15 seconds before executing
  5. function executes
  6. lastTrip should pull the same value as lasttripped since only 15 seconds have passed.

The reason I have all of this logic in there is I plan on bumping this up to 900 seconds (15 minutes) which would then offer the chance for this logic to actually test whether or not the two values are equal. I would expect within 15 seconds the vaiables to be the same.

Do you need to see more of the log? I can try pulling it.
