Blocky to Lua

[theo69]

Hi there I am a total n00b and just starting, now i have a blocky script i would like to translate into Lua (because I need it more often and Lua is easy to copy) Tried a lot but failed, maybe somebody can push me into the right direction

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if otherdevices['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' and otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then
      commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On AFTER 1'
   elseif otherdevices['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' and otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'On' then
      commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off AFTER 1'
   end
return commandArray

but a smarter way would be:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if otherdevices['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' then
      if otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then 
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On AFTER 1' 
      else
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off AFTER 1' 
      end
   end
return commandArray

ciao

Wow thanky a lot trying to understand but still a noob, i tried to get rid of the delay and did:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if otherdevices['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' then
      if otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then 
         commandArray['Einfachschalter'] = 'Off' and commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On'
      elseif otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'On' then 
         commandArray['Einfachschalter'] = 'Off' and commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off'
      end
   end
return commandArray

however its not working, where did i go wrong?

Try this. But I do not understand your logic. Now you switch something off and on and then you switch both devices off again??

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if otherdevices['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' then
      if otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then 
         commandArray['Einfachschalter'] = 'Off' 
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On'
      elseif otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'On' then 
         commandArray['Einfachschalter'] = 'Off''
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off'
      end
   end
return commandArray

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if otherdevices['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' then
      if otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then 
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On AFTER 1' 
      else
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off AFTER 1' 
      end
   end
return commandArray

This code feels flawed to me and will constantly trigger Testschalter On and Off while Einfachschalter is On... or am I seeing that wrong?

This code feels flawed to me and will constantly trigger Testschalter on and of while Einfachschalter is On... or am I seeing that wrong?

my understanding of the Blockly script is to toggle Testschalter after 1 sec when Einfaschalter is on....

yes... Testschalter will flash 1sec while Einfachschalter id ON....

Wasn't this the intention?

The difference with the Blockly code is that it will only act of a devicechange event and your script will trigger each time it is run by an event.
So to reflect the exact code you need to use devicechanged:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if devicechanged['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' then
      if otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then 
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On AFTER 1' 
      else
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off AFTER 1' 
      end
   end
return commandArray

Thanks to all, my problem is I am using a wireless Xiaomi Aqara Wall Switch, I have to set the off delay to 1 sec otherwise its not switching off again. Therefore I have to use a dummy switch to use the switch in my homekit (Apple). Maybe I went wrong with my script and thinking....

I would like to get rid of the 1 sec delay.

I think I start to understand all these:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
   if devicechanged['Einfachschalter'] == 'On' then
      if otherdevices['Testschalter'] == 'Off' then 
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'On' 
      else
         commandArray['Testschalter'] = 'Off' 
      end
   end
return commandArray

Its now working perfekt, thanks this a really a great community!!!!
