actions/TurnOnSwitch

class aaa_modules.layout_model.actions.turn_on_switch.TurnOnSwitch

Turns on a switch (fan, dimmer or regular light), after being triggered by a motion event. If the switch is a dimmer or light, it is only turned on if: 1. It is evening time, or 2. The illuminance is below a threshold.

A light/dimmer switch won’t be turned on if: 1. The light has the flag set to ignore motion event, or 2. The adjacent zone is of type OPEN_SPACE_MASTER with the light on, or 3. The light was jsut turned off, or 4. The neighbor zone has a light switch that shares the same motion sensor, and that light switch was just recently turned off.

No matter whether the switch is turned on or not (see the condition above), any adjacent zones of type OPEN_SPACE, and OPEN_SPACE_SLAVE that currently has the light on, will be sent a command to shut off the light.

DELAY_AFTER_LAST_OFF_TIME_IN_SECONDS = 8

The period of time in seconds (from the last timestamp a switch was turned off) to ignore the motion sensor event. This takes care of the scenario when the user manually turns off a light, but that physical spot is covered by a motion sensor, which immediately turns on the light again.

onAction(events, zone, getZoneByIdFn)

Subclass must override this method with its own handling.

Parameters:

• zone (Zone) – the zone where the action takes place
• getZoneByIdFn (lambda) – a function that returns a Zone object given a zone id string

Returns:

True if the event is processed; False otherwise.
