function/repeat

The REPEAT function controls number of times child events become True during the period specified. The function block should switch to the True state if child conditions are changed to True at least defined number of times.

Parameters:

Field	Type	Required	Description
blockOptions.function.repeat	object	–	Settings of a REPEAT function.
blockOptions.function.repeat.times	int	+	Number of times child conditions should become True to raise the REPEAT function. Minimal value is: 2.
blockOptions.function.repeat.seconds	int	+	A period in which these transitions should occur.

NOTE: The REPEAT function state is not saved between the scene service restarts, so, the function operator should not be used to handle large periods of time like hours and days. It is only intended to handle periods in seconds.

function/repeat

The function REPEAT is intended to ignore too-fast transitions between the True and the False state of child events.
The REPEAT sets the interval duration in seconds.
If a child event becomes True, this function saves the timestamp of state transition. The state of a function stays False. If a child event becomes False, and then True again, the function REPEAT checks whether an interval between the state transitions was less than the interval set as a function condition, and the number of transitions matches the number of times stored in the function options.
If it is less than that interval, and the number of times reached the function operator becomes True. Otherwise, if the interval between the transitions is greater than the REPEAT function specified, the operator stays False.

This feature is available since advanced_scenes/1.20.

Examples:

function/repeat

				
					{
   "blockOptions":{
      "method":{
         "args":{
            "blocks":"blocks"
         },
         "name":"function"
      },
     "function":{
         "repeat":{
             "times": 3,
             "seconds": 10
         }
      }
   },
   "blockType":"when",
   "fields":[
       {
           "name":"blocks",
           "type":"blocks",
           "value": [
               __WHEN_BLOCK__, ..., __WHEN_BLOCK__
           ]
       }
   ]
}

Here, the __WHEN_BLOCK__ stands for any valid when block, like a final event or a logical operator.
