Device created in plugging, use in blocky

[St7ven]

Hi,

Within blocky, I'm trying to use a device that has been created with a python plugin :

Code: Select all

Domoticz.Device(Name="Plugin_Blind", Unit=2, TypeName="Switch", DeviceID="07070707",  Switchtype=3).Create()

The device appear in blocky but the statement are not executed correctly (if plugin_devince = Closed). Nevertheless, the current states display the good state of this device.

It seems as only the OnCommand() function of the pluggin is called?

By the way, this device does not change icon state either on the switch tab.

I have noticed a difference between a dummy blind switch and the plugin device blind switch :

I was looking for the list of TypeName and SwitchType. TypeName are clearly mentionned here https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developin ... hon_plugin. Is it up to date ? Where could I find the switchtype number list ?

Thank you for your help

@St7ven,

The TypeName parameter really just mimics what is available in the Dummy hardware type for consistency. If you want to copy a device type that you already have that works I would recommend using the Type, SubType & SwitchType parameters instead, you get get much better control over what is created.

You can look in the Domoticz database's DeviceStatus table using somethink like sqlite3 browser to pick up the values of existing devices.

Very usefull tool. Thank you for the tips ! Devices are working fine now. I forgot to update Devices[x].update(values...)

Is is possible to create scene (group) from a python plugin ?

@St7ven,

You can't create scenes or groups in the current version. Maybe in the future.
