Turn light on when front door sensor is tripped AND it is after sunset

Hi All

Could anybody help me set up a conditional trigger scene that turns a light on when my front door sensor is tripped AND it is after sunset?

Many Thanks as ever!

You should find what you need in Conditional Scene Execution.

Cheers Rex - looking now

Or you can use Combination switch with smart switch plugin , or PLEG , but PLEG is more complex

Best thing about Smart Switch that you get the option to make the light turn off after xx time , so it’s so easy and handy

Hi

Not sure if you got this sorted or not but I’ve just been working on something similar, if you tweak the code it should work

Have a 4-1 sensor and a dimmer in the hallway, I wanted to be lazy :slight_smile: and have the light come on for me once i walked into the hallway but only if the light was off and there wasn’t enough light for me to see

So what I did was created a new scene and added a trigger, the trigger was when the PIR was tripped. Once this was setup i added the Luup code

[i]local device = 33
local sensor = 27

local lightlevel = luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1”,“LoadLevelTarget”, device)
local sensorlevel = luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:LightSensor1”,“CurrentLevel”, sensor)
lightlevel = tonumber(lightlevel)
sensorlevel = tonumber(sensorlevel)

function switch_off()

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1”, “SetLoadLevelTarget”, {newLoadlevelTarget = “0”}, device)

end

if (lightlevel == 0) and (sensorlevel <= 20) then

if (luup.is_night()) then

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1”, “SetLoadLevelTarget”, {newLoadlevelTarget = “30”}, device)
luup.call_delay( ‘switch_off’, 60)

else

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1”, “SetLoadLevelTarget”, {newLoadlevelTarget = “80”}, device)
luup.call_delay( ‘switch_off’, 60)

end

end[/i]

As you can see with the first IF command, if dimmer is at 0 and the light level is below 20% then run the next command, this is then saying IF night dimm light to 30% else set to 80%. Also added the delay function so the light stays on for 60 seconds

the main code is in there, just need to tweak and remove a few lines

Hope that helped

Thanks
