My very first Dzventz "script" please help

[bozidar]

Hi all

I am trying to make a very simple "script"

I want a specific wallswitch to turn on/off a light.

1436 is wallswitch idx and 1424 is light idx.

What have i done wrong ?

return {
on = {
devices = {
'1436'
}
},
execute = function(domoticz,'1424')
local Living room = domoticz.devices('1424')
domoticz.ToggleSwitch ()
end

end
}

Something with quotes and syntax. Try it like this

Code: Select all

--[[ toggler.lua
]]--

return { 
    on = { devices = { 1436 }},                          -- Trigger = Switch device IDX 

    execute = function(domoticz,trigger)
        local livingRoom = domoticz.devices(1424)       -- Light IDX
        livingRoom.toggleSwitch()
    end
}

thx very appreciated.

But there seems to be a litle bug in it.

Light turn on 2 sec and then turns of.

Hold on.
I believe that nothing is wrong with you script.

Thx again waaren

But realized that my actual lightswitch is not a on/off switch.

It is a "digital switch" sending a ON signal when pressed ,and is in "off" state when not pressed.
which makes using the toggle function a bad idea.

So i guess it needs to be done in a complete different way.

Any ideas ?

Not a COMPLETE different way. Just a check on the state of the "trigger state" should do it.

Code: Select all

--[[ Toggler.lua
]]--

return { 
    on = { devices = {  1436  }},                          -- Trigger = Switch device IDX 
    
    logging =   {   level     =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                    marker    =   "Toggler" },
    
    execute = function(domoticz,trigger)
        local livingRoom = domoticz.devices(1424)       -- Light IDX

        if trigger.state == "On" then
            livingRoom.toggleSwitch()
        end 
        
        domoticz.log("Trigger state ==>> " .. trigger.state .. "; Light state ==>> " .. livingRoom.state ,domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
    end
}

Perhaps this video might be some help

Thank you Mcmellow

Belive it or not ,but have seen that video at least 5 times.and read the manual ..

But with no coding experience ,and limited Domoticz skilled ,the first steps are just so much harder.

I have learned so much over the last year ,but are also spending much more time than ,the more experience person.

But thx for the help and hints...

Moving forward ,but very slowly.

hi again

Shouldn't this work then : just turning on a gruop of lights instead of 1 light.

--[[ Toggler.lua
]]--

return {
on = { devices = { 1439 }}, -- Trigger = Switch device IDX

logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = "Toggler" },

execute = function(domoticz,trigger)
local livingRoom = domoticz.group(1) -- Light IDX

if trigger.state == "On" then
livingRoom.toggleGroup()
end

domoticz.log("Trigger state ==>> " .. trigger.state .. "; Light state ==>> " .. livingRoom.state ,domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
}

Hopefully last ??

Thxalot for the help

[waaren]

syntax is domoticz.groups ; You forgot the s
