dzVents - how to start / install?

[renerene]

If installed the latest beta version Domotic, versions V3.8125.
If have unchecked the box 'disable dzVentz' in settings and added the test script from https://github.com/dannybloe/dzVents. After saving the test script in the build-in domoticz editor the log shows:

2017-07-25 16:28:28.341 EventSystem: reset all events...
2017-07-25 16:28:28.353 EventSystem: Write file: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/dzTest.lua

But after switching the dummy switch: nothing.
also adding extra print or domoticz.notify commands don't show in the log
How to start with dzvents? Is it built in, or do have to download anyththing from github?
Other settings to check?

Hi renerene.
First of all, there's a dzVents sub-forum in the Lua form. Next time you can use that.
Second, check the documentation > getting started (don't use my old github page coz that is old dzVents and has a slightly different syntax).

thank you Will put future posts in the correct section.

For now gettin hopeless. 127.0.0.1 is in Local Networks (settings)

1) nog log messages
2) on purpose there is a typo mistake: no syntax error in log

Code: Select all

     return {
    	active = true,
    	on = {
    		'dummy'
    	},
    	execute = function(domoticz, switch)
    		if (switch.state == 'On') then
                prdfsgint ('On')
    		else
    		    domoticz.log('Off')
    		end
    	end
    }

result:

Did you also mark the script as active using the checkbox 'Event active' in the web editor?

and

Code: Select all

prdfsgint ('On')

doesn't seem right to me.

[randytsuch]

On statement appears to be incorrect

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        devices = {
            'Room switch'
        }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, roomSwitch)
        if (roomSwitch.state == 'On' and domoticz.devices('Living room').temperature > 18) then
            domoticz.devices('Another switch').switchOn()
            domoticz.notify('This rocks!',
                            'Turns out that it is getting warm here',
                            domoticz.PRIORITY_LOW)
        end
    end
}

Ah, good catch. Old syntax indeed.

So please read the getting started and watch the getting started video (see dzVents subforum, first post).

UPDATE - SOLVED

Yes, it works. My first steps in dzVents.
New questions will be post in correct forum subfolder

Code: Select all

return {
	active = true,
	on = {
		devices = {'dummy'}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, switch)
	    domoticz.log ('Hello???')
    	if (switch.state == 'On') then
            domoticz.log ('On')
    	else
    	    domoticz.log('Off')
    	end
    end
}
