Update status without triggering

[Melissen]

Hi,

I want to update some status of devices without triggering them.
I can get it to work, but only 1 switch at a time.

this is a part of the script:
-- Woonkamer alles
if (devicechanged['Woonkamer -alles']=='On') then
commandArray['UpdateDevice']='64|1|1'
commandArray['UpdateDevice']='65|1|1'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='66|1|1'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='70|1|1'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='72|1|1'
end
if (devicechanged['Woonkamer -alles']=='Off') then
commandArray['UpdateDevice']='64|0|0'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='65|0|0'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='66|0|0'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='70|0|0'
-- commandArray['UpdateDevice']='72|0|0'
end

In this case when switching ON, only nr65 is switched to ON, nr 64 stays OFF (66,70,72 are turned off, --)
When I switch OFF, nr 64 is switched OFF. (because 65,66,70,72 are turned off, --)
When I remove all -- in the commandlines, in both On or OFF only nr 72 switches.
So my conclusion is: only the last commandline is working.
How to get all commandlines working???

Thanks,
Hein

That is right.
Did you check the wiki? https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/LUA_comma ... n_one_pass

I saw this wiki-page.. but when i try to use this in the IF-THEN it doesn't work..
Even when I remove the commandArray = {} and return commandArray in the THEN-section, it doesn't work


Script I used:
commandArray = {}

-- Woonkamer alles
if (devicechanged['Woonkamer -alles']=='On') then
commandArray = {}
local function update(idx, value1, value2)
local cmd = string.format("%d|0|%.2f;%.2f", idx, value1, value2)
table.insert (commandArray, { ['UpdateDevice'] = cmd } )
end
update (64, 1, 1)
update (65, 1, 1)
update (66, 1, 1)
update (70, 1, 1)
update (72, 1, 1)
return commandArray
end

return commandArray


LUA is great, but the tutorials on Google aren't that great... Not a simple explanation, but only explaining a specific problem. So when you want to use a command in a different way, you get stuck very fast,

Hi Melissen,

Are you saying that if you update a device in this way (e.g. commandArray['UpdateDevice']='64|1|1') it doesn't trigger a devicechanged['MyDeviceIdx64'] ?

[SweetPants]

You can't have two "commandArray = {} and return commandArray" instructions.
This script works in my setup

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

local function update(idx, value1, value2)
    local cmd = string.format("%d|0|%.2f;%.2f", idx, value1, value2)
    table.insert (commandArray, { ['UpdateDevice'] = cmd } )
end

if (devicechanged['Lamp 3']=='On') then
 
	update (110, 11, 0)
	update (111, 22, 0)
	update (112, 33, 0)

end

return commandArray

Hi Westcott. Indeed. When you use that command the switch will turn ON in your dashboard. But the device itself (lamp example) will not turn on.

[Westcott]

Wow, thanks Melissen.
So an nValue of 1 (value1 in SweetPants' example) means 'On' ?

[Melissen]

Yeah... it works... After changing the string format to %d %d %d.....

Script is now:
commandArray = {}

local function update(idx, value1, value2)
local cmd = string.format("%d|%d|%d", idx, value1, value2)
table.insert (commandArray, { ['UpdateDevice'] = cmd } )
end
-- Woonkamer -alles
if (devicechanged['Woonkamer -alles']=='On') then
update(64,1,1)
update(65,1,1)
update(66,1,1)
update(70,1,1)
update(72,1,1)
end
if (devicechanged['Woonkamer -alles']=='Off') then
update(64,0,0)
update(65,0,0)
update(66,0,0)
update(70,0,0)
update(72,0,0)
end
return commandArray


Thanks everybody for helping me.... very happy with you !!!!

Hein.

[Melissen]

Hi Westcott.... yes for a switch you should use (idx,1,1)

See my script...

[Melissen]

Problem solved again...... and for all other switches is this a very easy script...
