Get sValue from device [Solved]

[jannnfe]

Hello,
is there a way to get the value from a device?
I tried:

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        devices = {
            'Kamera Motion Dummy'
        }
    },
    logging = { 
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'CameraMotion'
    },
    
    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        -- When Device is triggered do this:
        if(item.isDevice) then
            if(item.active) then
                local device = item.status
                domoticz.log(device, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
            end
        end
    end
}

Thanks

First of all, you don't need to test for isDevice in your case here because your event trigger is only for a device. But that's a side note. To get the value of the device (in this case a motion detector I suppose) I assume that you can just print the state: domoticz.log(device.state).

Hallo @dannybloe,
Thanks for your reply.
I dont understand. device.state? Do you mean item.state?
I already tested this. But the state (or „svalue“) is different. I Set a the device over MQTT like this: {„idx“:124,“nvalue“:1,“svalue“:“Test“}
I want to get the „Test“ from svalue. But with item.state i will get the value „On“.
Thank you

Thank you

maybe this will help you understand and see what the state of your device is

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        devices = { 
            'Kamera Motion Dummy'
        }
    },
    
    logging = { 
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'CameraMotion'
    },
    
    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        
        -- When Device is triggered do this:
        local activeState = " (not Active) "
        if item.active then
            activeState = " (Active) "
            domoticz.log("Status of " .. item.name .. " ===>>  " .. item.state, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end

        local rawData = item.rawData
        for i = 1,#rawData do
            domoticz.log(activeState .. " " .. item.name .. ".rawData[" .. i .."] ==>> " ..  item.rawData[i], domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end
    end
}

Thanks @waaren,
the item.rawData[1] was the solution i was searching!
With this i get the "Test" value.
Thank you very much!

[waaren]

the item.rawData[1] was the solution i was searching! With this i get the "Test" value.

Ok. Now we know the value 'Test' is somewhere in the device object, there is probably a more elegant place where we can get it from.
can you replace the code

Code: Select all

        local rawData = item.rawData
        for i = 1,#rawData do
            domoticz.log(activeState .. " " .. item.name .. ".rawData[" .. i .."] ==>> " ..  item.rawData[i], domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end

with

Code: Select all

item.dump() 

and post the result here ?

[jannnfe]

Hey,
Yes, that's the result. It looks like there is something missing due to log limitations but the relevant part is there:
Now the value to be searched is not "Test" but "Eingang"!
It is in rawData 1.

Code: Select all

I have set the device with MQTT and following payload:

Code: Select all

MQTT: Topic: domoticz/in, Message: {"RSSI":6,"idx":124,"Battery":57,"nvalue":1,"svalue":"Eingang"}

I do not know if there is an elegant way in the device object to pass the value "Eingang" via MQTT but that's how it worked

Thanks

Hey,
Yes, that's the result. It looks like there is something missing due to log limitations but the relevant part is there:

Indeed a lot of the relevant information from the dump() method is missing. What are the type / subType values for this device as shown in the devices tab ?
