Dummy switch won't turn on

tapas · Post by **tapas** » Monday 17 July 2017 0:47

Hello, I've been pulling my hair off over this seemingly very simple script that should turn a dummy switch (idx 22) on:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
commandArray['UpdateDevice'] = '22|1|On'

I'm trying to run it from linux shell lua script.lua with no luck, what am I missing?

It seems to be missing
'return commandArray'

For examples check the wiki

Hi,

starting LUA script from Linux shell will not work, there is no Domoticz API available. You should create script in designated folder and correct name - in subfolder of domoticz installation: scripts/lua. Then scrips are started by Domoticz event system.

Look at this, there are good examples:

Yes, it works now, thank you! One of my problem was that script names were wrong. Should have read that wiki better.
