Selector dzvents selecting buttons

[parrotface]

Hi
I am using a selector switch to control heating zones and manually selecting the buttons is working OK.
Using the dzVents script I can switch the selector Off
domoticz.devices('Heat Pump Boost').switchOff().afterMin(60)

I can't work out the syntax to select a different selector switch button. Do I use the level 10 , 20 30 etc or the button Name - zone1, zone2 zone3 etc
what is the correct syntax to select zone1?
Thanks

in dzVents you can use .state to select the name.

Code: Select all

execute = function(domoticz, device )

local state = device.state

if state == "name of state-1" then
   do stuff
elseif state == "name of state-2" then
   do other stuff
end

Thanks for your reply
If I understand it correctly your script means I can check to see which button of the selector is active.
What I need is how to change the selector from dzVents script to change the active button.
I can select the Off button but not the other selections.
Thanks

tried these

This works OK domoticz.devices('selector').switchOff().afterMin(60)

These DO NOT work
domoticz.devices('selector').modeSet(10)
domoticz.devices('selector').levelSet(10)
domoticz.devices('selector').set(10)

note selector is name of my selector switch

from https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/DzVents:_ ... _scripting


switchSelector(level): Function. Switches a selector switch to a specific level (numeric value, see the edit page in Domoticz for such a switch to get a list of the values). Supports command options.

so in your case:

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('selector').switchSelector(10)

Hi
Thanks for reply

Still can't get it working
domoticz.devices('selector').switchOff() works every time

domoticz.devices('selector').switchSelector(Zone1) or
domoticz.devices('selector').switchSelector(10) wont work

Thanks

Does the command produce an error in the logfile or is it just ignored ? Can you post the output of domoticz.devices('selector').dump() ?
maybe that will give us clue what is going wrong.
