Lumen sensor triggering script on changing value

ESPHome
1

I have built an device that use lumen sensor BH1750, esp32 and relays. I have several values like 10k, 20k lumen, 40k, 70k and so on that trigger to toggle a relay (e.g 45k lumen, 3 relays on, 39k 2 relay on, 9k with no relay on). Previously I have used on_range_value with below and above value, but the triggers were not working correctly when covered the sensor, or when values was decreasing, relays state did not changed.

Up now I am using script to trigger all relays with their specific values which should be when in a range, but it seems that it is triggering few times per second. I am concerned if the relays stays on when the script trigger a specific relays e.g: relay 1 is already on, but script trigger relay1 ON few times a second. Visually I am not sseeing led of relay blinking or glaring, nor relay doing noise as toggle itself.

Also, I may have to add some logic to restart sensor when value it is not provided by sensor due only way it’s working now it’s to restart the esp32.

Impossible to make suggestions without seeing your code.

Maybe you should try to find the problem in the first place.

I added the code now in the above post. Thank you.

That doesn’t hurt anyhow. Writing digital pin HIGH while it’s already high does just nothing. Only disadvantage is getting lot of worthless data on your log.

You don’t have to use scripts on your code, you could just operate the switches directly on template sensor.
On the other hand if you like to use scripts, you don’t need to use stop(), because you don’t have anything to stop.
Also

You don’t need the first condition, because it has been verified already on previous if statement and if it was true this else if statement would be skipped.

doesn’t look like practical value for a sensor that outputs something in a range of 0-100000+
