I’, still working on sending an email with the light level every fifteen minutes. Got everytign working and decided to only send that email during the day. For some reason, I can’t get is_night working. If I comment out the If statement checking is_night, the email goes right through. Any ideas? I thought is should be easy!

--starting out, strLightLevel could be nil and that causes a problem - can't add a nil value --so, lets set it so something non-nil if (strLightLevel == nil) then strLightLevel = " " end

–go get light level

local curLightLevel = luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:LightSensor1”, “CurrentLevel”, 45)

–make curLightLevel non nil just in case
if (curLightLevel == nil) then
curLightLevel = " "
end

strLightLevel = strLightLevel…" , "…curLightLevel

–now send email
–we only want emails during the day, so check…
if not luup.is_night() then

luup.call_action(“urn:richardgreen:serviceId:VeraAlert1”, “SendAlert”, {Message = strLightLevel, Recipients = “xxxxxxxx”}, 18)

–todo reset curLightLevel by setting to nil or to " "

end – end check for night

return true

Well, it is working now. That is strange. Sorry to bother, but I’m glad it is working now.

Try if (not luup.is_night()) then instead
