You might use the count down timer plugin instead: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=9425.0 Then you don’t need to write any lua - you can have one scene start the timer, and trigger a second scene to stop the curtains when the timer expires.

But if you want to do this in lua, see this page: http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Lua_extensions#function:_call_delay You can use the ‘call_action’ to start closing, ‘call_delay’ to create the delay, and another ‘call_action’ to stop the curtain.

Or take a look at PLEG: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=12759.0 which can also do this.

Hi, the timer plugin will not work since i am not able to make a scene that only use the stop option in vera scene creation menu, so the only way is to do it with a Lua code, but i am not good with LUA, so i would like to know if some one can help me with this

regards

You can do this with scenes or PLEG.
You do NOT need to use LUA.
You need to use the advanced editor for both, since the stop action is not Vera blue n the UI.
