Using Mockupancy

[yelkenli]

Is there a variable or status in composer HE that allows me to test if mockupancy is on or off? 

I would like to program this:

if mockupancy is on, if motion is sensed, send push notification

if mockupancy is on, if keypads are pressed, send push notification

 

I don't see this yet in Composer HE (2.9.1).  I have used mockupancy for about a year now and like the feature (i.e. it is installed and function on my system)

Just make a variable and change the value when mocupancy is turned on/off.

Excellent. 

I went to Agents, Variables, and added a variable.  I called it MockOnOff, and defined it as a boolean. 

In programming, in device events,  should there be a script associated with the button that is pressed to activate Mockupancy? (I have a 6-key pad in place of wall switch and one button activates mockupancy with a double tap)  I am not seeing any scripts though.  So maybe it is programmed some other way ?(would expect to see an action statement: when this button pressed, playback Mockupancy.  

In that script, I would add an action statement that sets the boolean as needed. then use the boolean in a conditional in the scrip for the motion sensor device event.  However, I only see a drop down for "playback started", which gives a cryptic "Playback started on Kitchen->Mockupancy" for the scrip container/name.  Do I set my boolean there?

Second question: is 'Idle' the same as 'Playback Stopped', which does not exist.  ?

[yelkenli]

I was able to make this work.  The above strategy is one option.

I am still not sure what action turns on Mockupancy though.

IN Programming there should be variables under the mockupancy driver that should be along the lines of in playback or playing or something.

 

you can always add the snmp agent and get all of your systems variables to see how it is defined.
