the plugin draws a random number r1 between 2 and 10, r1=3 for example
the event is triggered at t1=t0 + r1 = 00:03
the plugin draws another random number r2 between 2 and 10, r2=5 for example
the event is triggered at t2=t1 + r2 = 00:08
etc...
this way it's guaranteed that the event will be triggered at least once every 10 minutes, and no more than once in any 2 minutes period
no need for w and z parameters, am I missing something?
Any news on this front?Originally posted by rpradeThere is no rhyme or reason to the anarchy a defective Z-Wave device can cause

I have a little bit to add to the random request for you to think about. How about a condition so the event won't fire some times? Like a % maybe.
AND IF 10% chance it won't fire
Something like that.Originally posted by rpradeThere is no rhyme or reason to the anarchy a defective Z-Wave device can cause

I would buy this plugin if it made randomizing several lights really easy based only on a virtual device or similar set to home or away and another set dusk to dawn!

Hi Spud,
Would it randomize things in an easier fashion than in this thread?

- Then it will turn off somewhere between 30-90 minutes after it is turned on.
- It will continue this process until sunrise.
So you can truly randomize both the on time as well as the duration of the light.

I use a script to do this now but there have been a lot of requests. An action to increment or decrement a dimmer by X. This could also even apply to thermostat setpoints.
The action would be Then increase (decrease) Device Living Room lights by 10%
-or-
Then increase (decrease) Device Living Room Thermostat Heating setpoint by 1 degree
Another event action would be a toggle for binary devices - if the device is on, turn it off if it is off turn it on. Among other uses this could work with the random timer that S-F suggested to create random lighting events.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.16 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon
