View source for Lua - Light off at Sunset

{{DISPLAYTITLE:dzVents - Light off at Sunset}}

==Purpose==
The purpose of this script is to turn off a light at sunset on each weekday. 

This script could be used to automatically turn off lights at sunset to begin preparing for bed. 

==Dependencies==
This script’s only dependency is a light that is compatible with Domoticz. 

This script was written and tested using a Yeelight and functioned properly. 

==Domoticz Setup==
This script will require that you have a switch that connects to the light you are trying to use. You will need the name of your switch to substitute for ‘home yeelight’ in the script below. 

==Installation Instructions==
Copy this script in your '''domoticz\scripts\dzVents\scripts''' folder.

==Script with Comments==
<syntaxhighlight lang="Lua">
return 
{
    on = 
    {
   --Runs script at sunset each weekday
        timer = {'at sunset on mon, tue, wed, thu, fri'},
    },
    
    execute = function(domoticz, timer)
        light = domoticz.devices('home yeelight')
   
        --check to see if the light is still on
        if (light.state == 'On') then
            --If the light is still on at sunset, turn off the light and log 
            --appropriate message
            light.switchOff()
            domoticz.log('The light was detected on at sunset on a weekday. The light is now off.')
        else 
           --Will log this message if light was already off
           domoticz.log('Light was already off')
        end
    end
}


</syntaxhighlight>

==Notes==
The script above can be customized very easily. 

To run the script at a different time besides sunset, change the timer variable to match when you want the script to run. 

==Enjoy!==
I hope this script can be of some use to you and your team if applicable whether it be further development, bug fixes, and improvements!
