dzVents - possible to get text of a text device?

[Quax1507]

Hi,

I want to trigger on the change of a text device in dzvents and read the text.
I cannot find a function for that in dzvents.

Like this

Code: Select all

if string.find(string.lower( domoticz.devices('name of text device').text),"string to search in lower case" ) ~= nil then

[emme]

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		devices = {
			'myTextDeviceName'
		}
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
		domoticz.log('Device ' .. device.name .. ' was changed to: '..device.text, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	end
}

@emme

already tried that without success.

It says:

Code: Select all

Error: dzVents: Error: ...icz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/_Sauger Status.lua:12: attempt to concatenate field 'text' (a nil value)

[Quax1507]

I just saw the device type is:

Type: Lightning 2
SubType: AC

Perhaps that's the reason...

[emme]

that does NOT provide a .text as a function...

try with .whActual

[Quax1507]

Doesn't work either

Code: Select all

Error: dzVents: Error: ...icz/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/_Sauger Status.lua:12: attempt to concatenate field 'WhActual' (a nil value)

Here is the complete output of json call.

Status is under "Data", querying device.data gives my "nil"...

Try domoticz.devices('devicename').dump() this will dump everything what is known in dzVents about your device.

Armed with that information you can decide on with what attribute you want to control the flow in your program.

@waaren

Thank You! That finally helped me out.

I have to use domoticz.devices(devicename).rawdata[1]

Actually, you should not have to revert to using rawData. Can you post the dump() results here?

Sure! Her it is...

What kind of device is this? How did it end up in Domoticz?

[Quax1507]

It was created by the Mirobo python plugin for status display:

https://github.com/mrin/domoticz-mirobot-plugin

[dannybloe]

Ah. That explains. There is no adapter for thus device in dzVents. Is it a read-only device that only show the current state in Dimoticz or can you also control it? If so, how? (from script)

[Quax1507]

You can switch it on/off but it has no effect!
It is used only for status display by the plugin.

[dannybloe]

Then the plugin creates a wrong device. It shouldn’t be a switch but a text device or a custom device.
