Hi,

Is it possible to schedule a reboot of the processor in composer ?

Thanks  

Version 108 attached 

GetWeather.c4z

so if you need to base your schedule on the temperature, my Get Weather driver could work for you.

I will release an updated version next week. 

Do you want to post the text of the error you are getting in LUA?

What driver are you using to talk to qse-ci-nwk-e ?

Wouldn't setting an If statement inside your schedule and running your fans, lights, shades only in the months of the year you need them work?

I am only seeing a Scenario Experience Button which has two states On and Off. 

Do you know if your dealer purchased a driver for a fan experience from a 3rd party ?

Is this a Lutron fan control ?

@ashwinmj 

I am very interested in seeing what you and your dealer have accomplished with the fan control.

Thank you

Question. If I do the experience button I can have the button on any screen, but I would be limited to only On / Off and for speed adjustment of the fan I would still have to go to Lights? 

I opened the XML file for the "Lutron RadioRA2 Fan" and the "Fan" proxy XML
The driver is in Comfort Category and the proxy is in HVAC. Why would the UI show under lights?

Is it possible to show Lutron fan controls under comfort tile menu?  When drivers were added to my system they showed up under Lighting, does not make sense why, but don't know if there is a way to get them moved?

Thanks 

What is controlling your LG and how?

IP, RS232 or IR?

Version 105 is out. 

Resolved logic problems and added retrieval time to the driver to show when weather info was obtained. 

In our tests we found that a 10 sec delay is enough to allow the driver to update the fields.

I don't think the logic in the new driver is working correctly. If you have the same results, I am already working on the update  

Updated Driver (Edit: ver 103)

@Amr I have the new version of the driver. Conditional values are getting displayed correctly, I have also added Precipitation Probability and Wind Speed. 

Will post a new version tomorrow 

I have a similar issue with RX-Z Yamaha model via RS-232. Volume control is delayed by a few seconds. 

Do you have "Volume Ramp Delay-Milliseconds", "Command Delay-Milliseconds" & "Event State Polling Delay-Seconds" set in the IP driver?

@Amr your Outdoor will turn off if the cloud over is over 50% at sunset. Is the 0 correct for your location currently ? 

It's available in their API  https://www.tomorrow.io/data-catalog/core/.  Obviously each value will have its own field, which one would make more sense for your implementation ?

Precipitation Intensity
The amount of precipitation that falls over time, covering the ground in a period of time

Precipitation Type (not available with all plans)
The various types of precipitation often include the character or phase of the precipitation which is falling to ground level

Precipitation Probability
The chance of precipitation that at least some minimum quantity of precipitation will occur within a specified forecast period and location

Precipitation Accumulation (not available with all plan)
The amount of liquid precipitation accumulated over a specified time period over a specified area

@Amr can you please share a snippet of your programming so I have better understanding of how you have it set up, but in my case I was gonna create a schedule for every hour and update the cloud cover value. In your case getting precipitation value may be a better option as it does not always rain on a cloudy day. I will publish an updated version of the driver this week, but not sure if it's a best option for you. Either way give it a shot and let me know what you think would make it work for your application. 

Hi,

I have a beta version of a C4 driver to obtain cloud cover for any location on the map. If you want to trigger an event on a cloudy day and don't have a light sensor, this could be a solution. Since this is a first release I don't recommend adding this driver to your customer controllers at this time. I still have a few minor issues to work out and also need to write documentation. 

The driver uses https://www.tomorrow.io/ API to retrieve the current cloud cover for the latitude and longitude obtained from the project, however values can be manually changed. 

You must register with https://app.tomorrow.io/signup to get an API Key which you will need add to the driver. The Free plan is good for 500 API calls per day / 25 calls per hour / 3 calls per second. If you are paranoid and need to make more API calls, a paid plan is available. I have no affiliation with tomorrow.io, just found their service to be the most reliable.

The driver was only tested on 3.2.2 and is not guaranteed not work on anything older.

Please don't share your API Key (The key shown below is for illustration only, don't try to use it in your system as it's invalid.)

HTTP GET is a required command before you set up any conditions. If configured correctly HTTP GET will update the CloudCover field in the driver when driver is called. 

When you set up a condition for the driver, Cloud cover value will not display in the Actions, PARAM2 will show instead. (I am still working on this problem)
At this time you can only see the selected value if you enable the debug on the driver. 

Feel free to post your results here or email us directly if you have any problems with the driver.

@booch suggested experience-button-scenario.c4z for custom buttons. Nice looking pictures could be taken from garagedoor_relay_control.c4z.

Thank you guys!

correct, default password for root is gone, but you can still connect to C4 via SSH from the Composer Pro, not sure if HE has that feature. 

My doors and a fireplace are connected to VCRX. 

The problem is when I open the garage from the car I am using the buttons on the rear view mirror and Lutron does not know about the door state change. That's why I wanted to get the door state from the camera image 

I don't have any zigbee, only z-wave and clear-connect. 

Thank you @Jeff W

Sounds like I am stuck with a default circle icon for the garage door. While we are on the garage topic. I have some experience with image recognition in python and wanted to try this in LUA. What I have in mind is a garage door state sensor without the sensor. Actually, I would use a sticker on the top edge of the door as a sensor. Then If I can do an pixel compare logic in LUA for a specific area of the picture from the garage camera I may be able to figure out the state of the door. 

Don't think it's gonna be as reliable as the actual sensor, but this would give me an opportunity to write some LUA code.
