Data not persistent? [Solved]

[FearNaBoinne]

I am trying to write a script that toggles between different scenes, and wanted to use a persistent variable, but it doesn't seem to work...

Code: Select all

return {
    active = {
        true  -- either true or false, or you can specify a function
    },
    
    on = {
        devices = {
            'Eettafel switch'
        }
    },
    data = {
        Scene_number = { initial = 0 }
    },	
    
    execute = function(domoticz, triggeredItem, info)
        local Device  = domoticz.devices('Group Eettafel')
        local Device1 = domoticz.devices('Eettafel voor')
        local Device2 = domoticz.devices('Eettafel mid voor')
        local Device3 = domoticz.devices('Eettafel mid achter')
        local Device4 = domoticz.devices('Eettafel achter')
        
        -- domoticz.log('Current Scene is '..Scene_number, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
        
        if (triggeredItem.state == 'Off') then
            domoticz.log('I am seeing this Off command...', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
            Device.switchOff()
            Scene_number = 0
        elseif (triggeredItem.state == 'On') then
            domoticz.log('I am seeing this On command...', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
            if (Scene_number == 0) then -- starting from Off, going Scene_Normal
                domoticz.log('Off to Normal', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
                Device.dimTo(50)
                Device.setKelvin(68)
                Scene_number = 1
            elseif (Scene_number == 1) then -- starting from Scene_Normal, going Scene_Daglicht
                domoticz.log('Normal to Daglicht', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
                Device.dimTo(100)
                Device.setKelvin(8)
                Scene_number = 2
            elseif (Scene_number == 2) then -- starting from Scene_Daglicht, going Scene_Avondlichtje
                domoticz.log('Daglicht to Avond', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
                Device4.dimTo(10)
                Device4.setKelvin(75)
                Device3.dimTo(10)
                Device3.setKelvin(75)
                Device2.switchOff()
                Device1.switchOff()
                Scene_number = 3
            elseif (Scene_number == 3) then -- starting from Scene_Avondlichtje, going Scene_Eetlichtje
                domoticz.log('Avond to Eet', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
                Device.dimTo(5)
                Device.setKelvin(90)
                Scene_number = 4
            elseif (Scene_number == 4) then -- starting from Scene_Eetlichtje, going Scene_Normal
                domoticz.log('Eet to Normal', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
                Device.dimTo(50)
                Device.setKelvin(68)
                Scene_number = 1
            end
        end
        
        domoticz.log('The light ' .. Device.name .. ' is switched to Scene number '..Scene_number, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
    end
}

If I run this from a switch 'On', I get an error:
dzVents: Error (2.4.19): .../domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/Eettafel.lua:62: attempt to concatenate global 'Scene_number' (a nil value)

If I uncomment the first log command, the error changed slightly: The number 62 changed to 22 (the line number of the first log command)

It also doesn't hit any of the Scene_number based [else]if statements.

All this shows me that Scene_number is not initialized nor persistent... What am I missing?..

dzVents persistent variables are keys in the table domoticz.data
You have to address them as such, so in this case use

Code: Select all

domoticz.data.Scene_number

Thanks! I totally missed that bit!

I will modify and test!

Totally works! I looked at that segment in the wiki several times and missed that bit every time... (Unfortunately I have no clue how to make it even more clear for the "selectively blind'... )
