PLEG: stop a fan when humidity < 70% or at certain time?

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)
#1

Can’t find how to dot this. I have an action which starts a fan when humidity is > 85% and between 7 and 20. Is working fine.
Does that also mean that the fan is stopped after 20.00 when it running at 20?

If not, I want to make this action:
Stop the fan if humidity < 75% or “at 20:01:00”
And also only do this if the fan is running at 20:01:00, else it is not necessary to stop of course.

But I don’t know how to configure the condition to stop the action at 20:01:00.
If I read the PLEG basics I could use a schedule, but that only starts it every day at 20:01:00 and as described it will always be true.
But maybe the time can be set directly in the condition.

This is what I have so far:
Triggers:
(device properties)
Humidity_Bathroom Embedded Humidity S CurrentLevel

Conditions:
Name Repeat Expression
Fan_humidity_high No (Humidity_Bathroom > 84) and (07:00:00;Now;20:00:00)
Fan_humidity_low No (Humidity_Bathroom < 75) #no timing here, just want to stop is 24h/day

Actions:
High fan3 SetTarget newTargetValue=1
Low fan3 SetTarget newTargetValue=0

I would recommend using an input schedule:

FanSchedule - On EveryDay at 7:00:00 and Off EveryDay at 20:00:00

Fan_humidity_high (Humidity_Bathroom > 84) and FanSchedule
Fan_humidity_low (Humidy_Bathroom < 75) or (NOT FanSchedule)

Thanks. Will try that!

#4

You can use the:
“Do it now” in the Input schedules to manually toggle the Schedule input for testing … and to initially set the value. After that the schedule will toggle at the specified times.

Thanks again.

Just to be sure: there will never be an action be started when the humidity is between 75 and 84 right?

#6

Correct … it will only start when BOTH conditions (Humidity and Time of day) are MET.
It will stop on LOW Humidity OR Time of day.

#7

Ok, it started this morning, but as it is raining over here and the humidity is very high, I want to add this:

start the fan as we did already, but let it stop when it running for 30 min.

But my concern is that when the humidity after min is still > 85%. So it will start again after 30 min. How to do that?
I read something about it in your manual, but (must be me) I don’t know exactly how to do it.

FanSchedule - On EveryDay at 7:00:00 and Off EveryDay at 20:00:00
FanCycleSchedule - On - Self Trigger - Off Interval 30 Minutes

Fan_humidity_high (Humidity_Bathroom > 84) and FanSchedule and (!FanCycleSchedule)
Fan_humidity_low (Humidy_Bathroom < 75) or (!FanSchedule) or (Fan_humidity_high;!FanCycleSchedule)

Actions:
Fan_humidity_high
- Turn on Fan
- Using Advance Tab, ADD PLEG device, StartTimer action, Timer Name is FanCycleSchedule
Fan_humidity_low
- Turn off Fan

Thank you.

But… will this start the fan only once a day? Or by cycles of 30 minutes?
Understand what I need? In the morning and in the evening showers are taken, so it must start in the evening again.
