BLRadar - NewDelayedEventForNoEcho

[slayer]

Hi

Currently trialling BLRadar on HS 2.5.0.49.

Like most users, I was using Doomotion and am transferring over the custom code.
I have a motion sensor that when it is night time and triggered ON, turns a light and stays on for 4mins. If the sensor is retriggered than the light stays on, If leave the room, the light goes off after 4min.

I was using the following UDMC

hs.ExecX10ByName("Den Light", "On")
hs.RemoveDelayedEvent("","Den Lamp Control Delay")
hs.Plugin("BLRadar").DMC("Den Lamp Control Delay", "Den Lightff", 4)


But I keep getting the following error

NewDelayedEventForNoEcho() - There was an issue validating the device command string for this new delayed event (Den Lightff)


Can you help me pls?

This is a sample of one of mine from HS2
I had the code in the ON code section

blradar.NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Master Bathroom Sink Control", "Master Bathroom Sink Light:off", 5)
hs.ExecX10ByName("Master Bathroom Sink Light", "DDim", 100)  ' full light

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I use your code and changed it so it references my device name.
The error is still appearing. The event does not appear to be created. The script option is ticked in the options sections.
Not sure what the next step is.

The device name you are referencing in the call must exist in HS

In this code:

blradar.NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Master Bathroom Sink Control", "Master Bathroom Sink Light:off", 5)

The device name is "Master Bathroom Sink Light"

[slayer]

blradar.NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Den Light Control", "Den Lightff", 4)
hs.ExecX10ByName("Den Light", "DDim", 100) ' full light

Den Light is the device name and is created in HS (D1).
Den Light Control is the name of the event. The motion sensors device name is Motion and is D4.

The device name you use has to be the full name including the location

NewDelayedEventForNoEcho will create the event for you with the name you specify (which is Den Light Control in your case)

In HS3 this call is complete redone and does not use events anymore. The plugin takes care of it all itself. The call is still the same but works completely different

Thanks,

So I should include the location in the call

So it now becomes

blradar.NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Den Light Control", "Den Den Lightff", 4)
hs.ExecX10ByName("Den Light", "DDim", 100) ' full light

Den is the location name. ??

Sorry for been slow on this but I need to get this right

[Blade]

Try this:

blradar.NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Den Light Control", "Den Den Lightff", 4)
hs.ExecX10ByName("Den Den Light", "DDim", 100) ' full light

Hi,

I was away for a couple of days and just getting back to this problem. At the moment my UDMC is

If hs.Plugin("BLRadar").NightTime() Then
hs.ExecX10ByName("Den Den Light", "On")
hs.Plugin("BLRadar").NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Delayed Event Turn OFF Den Light", "Den Den Lightff",4)
End If

THis will turn on the light when I walk into the room (at night time) and keep it on while I am in the room. However, it does not turn off the light 4mins after I have left the room. It created the delayed event but does not seem to issue it. THe light will turn off/on from the device status page ok.

Any ideas?

Very odd
Try this:

If blradar.NightTime() Then 
    hs.ExecX10ByName("Den Den Light", "On") 
    blradar.NewDelayedEventForNoEcho("Delayed Event Turn OFF Den Light", "Den Den Light:off",4) 
End If

Thanks,

Tried that but still not working. When the delayed off event is created, I can go into the action tab of the event and use the TEST button to execute the action and the lights go off.
I noticed as well in the TRIGGER tab that the Calendar date is set to american date format 3/27/2014 where the PC is set up for European date format.
There is also no error or log message in the homeseer log

The only good point is that I brought the plugin tonight as I am confident we will get this sorted

Try 1.0.100 in the HS2 updater and let me know

I added a new option on the options page where you can select the date format. The default is mm/dd/yyyy
It will give you the option of dd/mm/yyyy

Hi,

New version works. Well done. Super response time.

Full update later.


Thanks
