hi,
sorry to be a pest

ive been using occusim for a few days and its great. i just have a few other questions i cant find an answer on

im using random time set up

Occupancy Simulator:
  module: occusim
  class: OccuSim
  log: 1
  notify: 1
  enable: input_boolean.holiday,on
  #test: 1
  dump_times: 1
  #reset_time: 02:00:00
  
  random_holiday_end: Night
  random_holiday_maxduration: '01:30:00'
  random_holiday_minduration: '00:20:00'
  random_holiday_name: Evening holiday
  random_holiday_number: '4'
  random_holiday_on_1: scene.holiday_on
  random_holiday_off_1: scene.holiday_off

  random_holiday_start: Evening

  step_evening_name: Evening
  step_evening_start: sunset - 00:45:00

  step_night_end: '22:30:00'
  step_night_name: Night
  step_night_on_1: event.MODE_CHANGE,mode
  step_night_start: '18:30:00'

Question 1 :slight_smile:

why do the random times overlap

Evening holiday_on_3 start before Evening holiday_on_0
the triggers off after Evening holiday_on_1 starts

question 2
how does notify work?

22

i never use random lights, so i dont have a clue.
i think @aimc can tell if that is entended or not.

about notify:
you need to set your notify in globals.py
like:

notify = "ios"

the name should be a valid notify setup in HA.

Because it is designed that way to add randomness.

It takes a lot more code to ensure that the random times don’t overlap and I didn;t feel the need to go to those lengths.

It’s not a complaint just curious

Thank you
