dimTo doesn't work ? (Bug ?)

[HFman]

I wrote a small script to set my fan.

in DzVents I can switch the "slider" on and off by :

domoticz.devices('Ventilator').switchOn()

But setting the slider to a percentage :

domoticz.devices('Ventilator').dimTo(35)

Doesn't work. I doesn't give an error, but no updates to the slider.

Any clue ?

[waaren]

setting the slider to a percentage : domoticz.devices('Ventilator').dimTo(35) does not work

Can you enter this in your script and show us the loglines ? That might help to understand what happens.

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('Ventilator').dump()

Seems the value sticks to 100%...?

Please see below :
Seems the value sticks to 100%...?

I don't see all the values I expected in the dump. Some lines seem to be missing.
As alternative can you merge this into your script and change the 250 to the device IDX of your dimmer

Code: Select all

   logging =   {   level   =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                    marker  =  'Dumper'
                },
    
    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        local dimmer = domoticz.devices(250)
        
         domoticz.log("dimmer.deviceType       : " .. tostring(dimmer.deviceType)       ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer.switchType       : " .. tostring(dimmer.switchType)       ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer.maxDimLevel      : " .. tostring(dimmer.maxDimLevel)      ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer.lastLevel        : " .. tostring(dimmer.lastLevel)        ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer._adapters[1]     : " .. tostring(dimmer._adapters[1])     ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer._adapters[2]     : " .. tostring(dimmer._adapters[2])     ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer.hardwareTypeValue: " .. tostring(dimmer.hardwareTypeValue),domoticz.log_DEBUG)
         domoticz.log("dimmer.switchTypeValue  : " .. tostring(dimmer.switchTypeValue)  ,domoticz.log_DEBUG)
    end 

Please note that the new value of the dimmer will not be shown during the execution of the script. This value is passed from domoticz to the script and will only be changed after the script has finished.
Can you show us your complete script and the loglines of it ?

Best is to see the log from the command-line as the web version of the log (in the GUI) seems to miss entries every now and then.

Figured it out.. silly one.. i guess..

execute = function(domoticz,Ventilator) didn't add Ventilator here...
After adding all works likes expected....

But still wondering why domoticz.devices('Ventilator').switchOn() works..
and domoticz.devices('Ventilator').dimTo(35) not ?
