Indigo Domotics

My search has not resulted in an answer as to how to get a timer's start value.

Here is the code snippet I have tried.

Code: Select all

id_timer    = 207309385     # Your timer ID
timerPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(u"com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.timersandpesters")

if timerPlugin.isEnabled():
    tmr = indigo.devices[id_timer]
    TimerDelay = int(tmr.states['TimerStartValue'])
    indigo.server.log("timer start value is " + ": " + str(TimerDelay))

Any suggestion are much appreciated.

TimerStartValue isn't a valid state. To see the state list, select the timer in the device list and look at the control area below in the Custom States list. timerStartValueSeconds is what you're looking for.

Thanks Jay.

For anyone that stumbles on this thread below is the action group code to increase or decrease a timer's countdown start value. The action is called from a control page.

To Increase by 1 minute

Code: Select all

id_timer    = 207309385     # Your timer ID
timerPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(u"com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.timersandpesters")

if timerPlugin.isEnabled():
    tmr = indigo.devices[id_timer]
    intVar = int(tmr.states['timerStartValueSeconds'])/60

if intVar < 240:
   intVar += 1
    timerPlugin.executeAction("setTimerStartValue", deviceId=id_timer, props={'amount':intVar, 'amountType':'minutes'})


To Decrease by one minute

Code: Select all

id_timer    = 207309385     # Your timer ID
timerPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(u"com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.timersandpesters")

if timerPlugin.isEnabled():
    tmr = indigo.devices[id_timer]
    intVar = int(tmr.states['timerStartValueSeconds'])/60

if intVar > 5:
    intVar -= 1
    timerPlugin.executeAction("setTimerStartValue", deviceId=id_timer, props={'amount':intVar, 'amountType':'minutes'})
