if something is not equal to something then [Solved]

[snellejellep]

i have a question, i want a script to take an action if a switch is activated, the switch has a couple of possible states but i want to take the same action for every possible state except off. so is it possible to say something like: "if switch is not equal to off then..."?

i hope this is possible. thanks to the solution in advance!

Yes Lua uses == for equal and ~= for unequal so code would look like

Code: Select all

if domoticz.devices('switchName').state ~= 'Off' then
