Toggle device?

[theolsen]

Hi all,

I'm pulling out my remaining hair with what I think should be a simple problem to solve.

I am using presence detection on my phone from a script running on my Asus router.
The script updates one of two virtual devices on either 2.4 or 5.0 Ghz network so that I can tell that my phone is in the house and which network it is connected to.
That works fine.
I have a further dummy device that is updated if either of the 2.4 or 5.0 dummies are on.

The problem is I want the dummy device to only turn on if it was previously off, for example right now if my phone switches from 2.4 to 5.0 the dummy device will be switched on again even though I am already home - I want this to only happen if it is already off...otherwise do not update.

I hope I have explained well.

Thanks in advance.

Use the current state of the switch in a if block of your script.

Thanks Egregius, I was hoping to cheat it in Blockly but you are right..lua is the answer!

Or any other language...

Hi

Would it be possible for you to share the script you use at your router?

Thanks

Whats the problem with blocky?

if dummy <> on and (dummy24 = on OR dummy5 = on) then
set dummy = on
else if dummy = on and dummy24 <> on AND dummy5 <> on
set dummy = off
end if

Of course, I cobbled it together from http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=24084.0

I am sure it is far from efficient but it works for me and doesn't miss a beat.

Whats the problem with blocky?

if dummy <> on and (dummy24 = on OR dummy5 = on) then
set dummy = on
else if dummy = on and dummy24 <> on AND dummy5 <> on
set dummy = off
end if

Good call, I really don't know why I wasn't thinking like that


Thanks
