Measure Operating Time

[trendkill]

Hello guys,
I have a heating system and a simple thermostat setup with espeasy. It logs to my linux server when the heater turns on and off, but I would like to have a daily report about the total amount of time while the heater was ON. So I think I would start counting seconds when the HeaterON event happens, pause it when HeaterOFF event happens, and finally send the summarized value to my linux server and reset the counter at midnight. How would you do it in a simple way? Thank you!! Here is my code:

Code: Select all

on DS1#Temperature do
 if [DS1#Temperature] < 40
  GPIO,5,0
  Event,HeaterON
 endif
 if [DS1#Temperature] > 55
  GPIO,5,1
  Event,HeaterOFF
 endif
endon

On HeaterON Do
  If [Dummy#LoggingON] = 1
    PostToHTTP,192.168.1.20,8080,/receiver.php,'','%lcltime% !!! Temp = [DS1#Temperature] -> Heater ON'
    TaskValueSet,12,1,0
    TaskValueSet,12,2,1
    TaskRun,12
   Endif
Endon

On HeaterOFF Do
  If [Dummy#LoggingOFF] = 1
    PostToHTTP,192.168.1.20,8080,/receiver.php,'','%lcltime% !!! Temp = [DS1#Temperature] -> Heater OFF'
    TaskValueSet,12,1,1
    TaskValueSet,12,2,0
    TaskRun,12
   Endif
Endon

When handling the events for heater on and off, you can perform some calculations and store it in a variable

When starting the heater:

let,1,%syssec_d% // Store current nr of seconds of today in var#1


When stopping the heater:
let,2,[int#2]+%syssec_d%-[int#1] // Add run time to var#2

And at midnight:
// Send value of [int#2] to wherever you need it
SendToHttp,......

let,1,0 // Reset start time
let,2,0 // Reset total counter

Thank you!! I'll try it tomorrow.

You're welcome

I've added this code, with some small modifications, as an example to the Rules documentation in PR #4899.
