Help with Else If logic

[gavacac]

I'm having a problem with one of my blocky events. I suspect I've got a fundamental misunderstanding of the way it works. Maybe someone can help me?

Essentially, I want some logic as follows:

If SwitchA = 1 and SwitchB = 1, set SwitchB to 2.
Else if Switch A = 1 and Switch B =2, set SwitchB to 3.

I have implemented this in Blocky but if I then set Switch A to 1 and Switch B to 1, Switch B changes to 3 whereas I would expect it to be 2.

From the log, I can see that what is happening is that the first part is running (and Switch B is set to 2) and then the event is immediately triggered again and this time the second part is applied and Switch B is set to 3.

Can anyone give me any tips?

This works as expected. All is correct and meets the conditions.
What do you want to do?

Without going into loads of detail, when Switch A is set to 1 for the first time, I want to set Switch B to 2. When Switch A is set to 1 for the second time, I want to set Switch B to 3.

you want a toggle button.....

try this:

Code: Select all

If SwitchA = 1 then
   If SwitchB = 2 then
      SwitchB = 0
      SwitchC = 3
   else
      SwitchB = 2
      SwitchC = 0

the first block is a simple IF
the inner block is a IF/else block
(they are different )

Also you can use a variable.

If SwitchA == 1 and SwitchB == 1 and Var == 0 then
SwitchA = 0
SwitchB = 2
Var = 1
elseif SwitchA == 1 and SwitchB == 2 and Var == 1 then
SwitchA = 0
SwitchB = 3
Var = 1

It's all depends on your detailed conditions.

I think blockly is the problem in this case, try with lua.

I managed to get it to work with a variable. Thanks for the suggestions.

Domoticz blocky 'else if' handling is broken. Nothing should be run after a condition has been true.
