I already had the shell script updated, so if someone still want's to use this one, this is the updated code: ...... device.sh #!/bin/sh ..... I'm playing with/adapting your nice script and do have some progress with it. I'm just started to use Domoticz and (bash) scripts, so just be patient with ...

Okay!

Learning all the time, learning all the time....

Thanks a lot, Jos!

The variable is updated by the Fibaro HC2 controller (through Domoticz API-command, JSON call ). If your script is in LUA, maybe you should remove all the ; you put everywhere ? ;) Agree it isn't needed but it shouldn't cause any issues either. I do this to because in the LUA early days it was ...

Hmm, somehow my code is not triggered (yet).. commandArray = {} -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ℹ Initialisation of user settings (change if necessary) ...

It does but let me help a little: To retrieve the value of variable TestVariable: uservariables['TestVariable'] To set the variable to a new value: commandArray['Variable:TestVariable']='Some value' Have fun yet with scripting :-) Jos I do have fun, it's like all learning it again from scratch ...

Thanks.

But it doesn't mention how to get the content from an user variable, as I read right....

Clear.

What is the command for getting the contents from a user variable?

In the lua example it's stated:
-- uservariables['yourvariablename'] = 'Test Value'
but that is used to write a content. Do I need
-- userContent = uservariables['yourvariablename']
to get the content?

Just add an if that looks something like this: if uservariablechanged['variablename'] then -- your logic goes here end Jos That simple, huh! Thanks Jos. Just another another question, the commandArray = {} can this be inserted underneath the code-header instead of as first command? (ie what is this ...

Hi2UAll! I'm just starting with lua and need some (= a lot) assistance with this. So, please be patient to me! :mrgreen: Because the best way to learn is to have a goal. So, this is my first goal: When a variable is changed, send a Telegram message with the content from that variable. Variable name ...

Okay, clear enough, Jos.

I will start with my first lua coding. I will make a new topic for that. Thanks.

Thank you, Jos!

I saw some scripts published, but when to insert them in lua-events, I have error warnings.

Looks like variables like $test is not accepted. It should be without the $-sign. Does this mean this is one of the difference between lua-events and lua-scripts?

Just another noob question though:

Whats the difference between lua scripts and lua code in events --> lua?

Allright, clear! thanks.

Hello, I would advice to check the wiki. There are sample scripts. You don't have to install additional software to use lua scripting. Thank you Hans for replying. I just noticed that scripts can be inserted in 'Events'. Can you tell me how I can debug new lua scripts? If a print-function is used ...

Hi! Can anyone explain how to use lua scripting? I'm just starting to use Domoticz. I do have some experience with lua (I use an Fibaro HC2 Z-wave controller at this time with self made lua scripts). Because I'm really fed up with Fibaro lack of transparency and closed source approach, I ...

Found it! Let me share..... It's possible by using Domoticz API . 1 - Enable access with no protection by adding 127.0.0.* in System Setup --> Local Networks (no username/password) 2 - Restart (in my case the Raspberry Pi 3) 3 - Add in Blocky --> Messages --> Open Url: with http:// 4a - Text-sensor ...

Hi to you all! I'm quite new with Domoticz. So I have a really noob question. :mrgreen: I have made a variable with a string which represent the status of my home (Home, Sleeping, Away etc). I want to show it in a text (or alert?) utility virtual device. How can I do that? It seems I can't use ...
