Sorry for my late reaction, i've been away for some time .

@Waltervl:
indeed the script is not triggered when i save athe scripts.
I use the same construction also to test if the script is triggered by a device or a variable.
also the system events for start and backup are logged if i declare ...

I try too make use of the system event resetAllEvents.
But it looks like the event is not triggered.

Am i doing something wrong?
I used the attached script to test.

Hi Waaren,

i did test your solution and it works like you discibe it.
For me it would be more usefull if the value is always "Off" if _state != "On" ( so just have 2 possible values On/Off to check in my script), the same as the dimmers example which is discribed in the manual:

state: String ...

Thx for reacting Waaren.

I'm not comletely sure how to interpreted device.state = device._state or "On".
But if, as result of this the state attribute is On whenever the value of _state != Off, then it is what i suggested

Gr. Bert

For one of my scripts i need to know if the valve of the HR92 is (partly) opened.
By checking the state attribute (On/Off) or the active attribute (true/false) i should get this information.

I found that the state value is always Off and active is always false.

The reason for this is that in the ...

I control my evohome system through the HGi80.
This works correct.

I do have a question about the HR92.
Is it possible to change the setpoint if the HR92 is set to OFF on the device itselfs?


Greets Bert

Thank you so far for your help.

Gr. Bert

I changed the evohome_device.lua file like you asked.
Now i can use the attibute state again.

There is still one strange thing the relay "Schuur (P)".
If i manually change the state on the physical device, then no event is triggered.
So the device attributes are not correct.

I bound the relay ...

Herby the last two attachments.

Hereby i send you the files you asked for

The first results are with the line ...device.state... enabled
Script file: Script_1.txt
Logfile : domoticz_1.lua.txt
domoticzData.lua.txt

In the second test i disabled the line ...device.state...
Script file Script_2.lua.txt
Logfile : domoticz_2.txt ...

I did enable the logfile, can you tell me where i can find the log-file so i can share this?

Greetz Bert

Thanks for reacting so quicly.

I don't know the exact beta version anymore, but i updated the last time in the beginning of july 2019.
I had to do a fresh install because my SD card was corrupt.

Tonight i will provide you the information you asked for.

I just did a fresh install on a rasberry pi and went to the last beta version of domoticz 4.11388
I connected my evohome system with the HGI80.

Now my scripts are not running anymore because the .state attribute has a value nil. The .active attribute does work for a HR92, but not for an extra relay ...

I'll try tonight.
I'll let you know if it's working.

Thanks for your reaction Danny.
I will try your suggestion.

The reason why i stored the complete device object in the the data variable is because of the example in the dzVents documentation ( in the persistent data chapter).

You can define as many variables as you like and put whatever value in ...

When converting my old lua scripts with dzVentz 1.1 i discoverd some strange/incorrect behaviour with the persistent data.
I occurs when i try to save the previous state of a domotics device with an initial value of nil or {}.

Every time the script runs the persistent data is reset to nil instead ...

I added in the hardware tab the device as a Relay in the evohome line as an extra relay to switch on and off the pump of the floorheating.

The result of the mydevice.dump() statement is in the attachments

hardwareid = 8
devicetype = heating
deviceSubType = Relay
switchType = On/Off

Bert

Thanks for your reply Dannybloe.

I think you're right that it is not related to ezvents. But that is where i discovered it.
Last night i upgraded to the new version of domoticz and ezvents and i got the message in the log that the device did not support the switchOn or switchOff method.

I think it ...

Since version 2 of ezvents, it is not possible anymore to switchon or switchOff an BDR91 relay.
Is this because it became a readonly device?

I use the BDR91 to switch-on the flooheating pump. To avoid the pump running unnessesary.
Is it posible to change this again to a device which is not read ...
