EasyIoT server automation - scene control

In this tutorial we will show how to execute sequence of commands in EasyIoT server (scene control). In program example we will set all devices to off by single switch in UI interfce.

Sometimes we want to execute set of commands when we press button. We will show how to do it in EasyIoT server Virtua module and automation script. In our example we will Add button to switch off more devices for example lights.

It is recommended that you read Automation tutorials before start programming in EasyIoT server Automation:

EasyIoT server automation - part I

EasyIoT server automation - part II

EasyIoT server automation - part III

First step is to add Virtual Digital DO module in EasyIoT server Virtual driver. We will name it "All off" Remember virtual module address.

Then go in automation section and add new automation program. In this case there is no need for CRON parameter. Read Automation tutorial how to add new program.

We will use EventHelper to catch event when we press button - this part will be in setup function. Following example program will be triggered when switch on is pressed in Virtual switch. Virtual switch will be automatically switched off after 3 sec. Change module address to catch your Virtual module. Also change part where commands are send to modules to suits your configuration.

public void Setup() 
{ 
  EventHelper.ModuleChangedHandler((o, m, p) => 
  {  
    // filter digital switch - change module address 
    if (m.Domain == Domains.VIRTUAL && m.Address == "N14S0" && p.Property == "Sensor.DigitalValue"){ 
      // filter when switch on event  
      if (p.Value == "1") 
      { 
        //Console.WriteLine(m.Address + " in program id "+ Program.ProgramId.ToString()+ " driver "+ m.Domain + " address "+ m.Address + " property "+ p.Property + " value " + p.Value); 

        //here are commands to execute in sequence - change commands to suit your configuration   
        DriverHelper.ProcessCommad(Domains.MYSENSORS, "N1S3", "ControlOff", ""); 
        DriverHelper.ProcessCommad(Domains.ESP8266, "N1S2", "ControlOff", ""); 
        DriverHelper.ProcessCommad(Domains.ESP8266, "N2S4", "ControlOff", ""); 
        DriverHelper.ProcessCommad(Domains.MYSENSORS, "N3S3", "ControlOff", ""); 

        // switch off module - change module address 
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);  
        DriverHelper.ProcessCommad(Domains.VIRTUAL, "N14S0", "ControlOff", "");       
      } 
    } 
    return true;  
  });  
}
