AH! Thankyou! Didn't understand the relationship between the variable types.

Cheers!

I have this code that is tracking the time that a door is open, (FrontDoorOpenMins is a global variable set as an integer with an initial value of 0):- return { on = { timer = {'Every minute'}, }, execute = function(domoticz) local fD = domoticz.devices('Front Door') if (fD.state == 'Alarm') then ...

I have a Energenie Single light switch (https://energenie4u.co.uk/catalogue/product/MIHO008), and I don't seem to be able to get my RFXTRX to talk to it. I have tried seeing if it shows up in unused devices, I've tried putting it in pairing mode and both learning and manual set up modes, but I just ...

Ah ok - those were the settings I was using - but my voice triggers that didn't work yesterday are working today.

Perhaps IFTTT was a little overwhelmed yesterday?!

Thanks for your input

The documentation is good but the whole point of forums is to help clarify things. "Check wiki's about remote access (eg vpn/nginx ...

I'm trying to update a Lux value from outside my network using http://USERNAME:[email protected]:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=99&svalue=99 The dummy virtual ID is correct and if I try internally with the local IP address rather than MYDDNSHOST.ddns.net it works, but I keep ...

Ok ignore this - I gave myself explicit security rights and it now works, but as my user is an administrator it should have just worked but didn't...!

Anyway working now!

Just looked in my log and I have 2016-09-27 13:00:01.608 Error: Error writing automatic hourly backup file 2016-09-27 13:00:03.017 Error: Error writing automatic daily backup file 2016-09-27 13:00:04.425 Error: Error writing automatic monthly backup file I had a look in the backups directory on my ...
