dzVents script - Execute setting multiple devices [Solved]

[Rs3b]

Hello,

I'm trying on a specific time set the setpoints of multiple devices at once to a certain value. I notice only the first device is changed after executing the script, the other ones are unchanged. The setpoints are on Popp thermostats.

return {
on = {
timer = {
'at 20:55'
}
},
execute = function(domoticz)
domoticz.devices('Radiator Setpoint N1').updateSetPoint(12)
domoticz.devices('Radiator Setpoint N2').updateSetPoint(12)
domoticz.devices('Radiator Setpoint N3').updateSetPoint(12)
domoticz.devices('Radiator Setpoint W1').updateSetPoint(12)
domoticz.devices('Radiator Setpoint Z1').updateSetPoint(12)
end
}

I also tried using a wild-card, but it doesn't recognize the device this way: domoticz.devices('Radiator Setpoint*').updateSetPoint(12).

As I understand it I cannot use group or scene, because scene is for lights (right?) - at least I do not see the Popp devices when creating group or scene in the add devices dropdown.

Anyone can give me a hint?

Thanks!

Can you try this and look at the log ?

Code: Select all

return {
            on = { 
                    timer   = { 'at 23:25'  },
                 },
        
        logging =   {
                        level           =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                        marker          =   setSetPoints
                    },
                 
     execute = function(dz)
        
        local function logWrite(str,level)
            dz.log(tostring(str),level or dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end

        local N1 = dz.devices('Radiator Setpoint N1')
        local N2 = dz.devices('Radiator Setpoint N2')
        local N3 = dz.devices('Radiator Setpoint N3')
        local W1 = dz.devices('Radiator Setpoint W1')
        local Z1 = dz.devices('Radiator Setpoint Z1')
        
        local setPoints= { N1,N2,N3,W1,Z1}
        
        for i = 1,#setPoints do
            setPoints[i].updateSetPoint(12)
            local rawData = ""
            for j = 1,#setPoints[i].rawData do
                rawData = rawData .. setPoints[i].rawData[j] .. "; "
            end
            logWrite(setPoints[i].name .. "; type: " .. setPoints[i].deviceType .. "; subtype: " .. setPoints[i].deviceSubType .. "; nvalue: " .. setPoints[i].nValue .. "; rawData: " .. rawData)
        end
    end
}

Hello waaren,

Many thanks for your example code, it works perfectly!

The log:

It also pointed my to an error in my code, first time I ran the script it got:

Code: Select all

2019-01-20 11:04:00.601 Status: dzVents: Debug: Processing device-adapter for Radiator Setpoint N1: Thermostat setpoint device adapter
2019-01-20 11:04:00.601 Status: dzVents: Error (2.4.6): There is no device with that name or id: Radiator Setpoint N2

Turns out I named the setpoint "Radiator SetPoint N2"...I put in a capital P only in this setpoint name. It was the second one in my script, so I tested my original script, and this also ran fine after changing the P into p. Lua is case-sensitive... silly me!!! Still in the learning lua phase...

I may be overasking, but if I want to use domoticz.devices().forEach(..) using an arry, how would the syntax be in that case?

Thanks,

I am not sure what you want/ The example code I posted does iterate over the array of devices.

If your intention is to set the setPoints of all relevant devices in your domoticz environment you could this.

Code: Select all

return {
            on  =   { 
                        timer   = { "every 1 minutes"  }
                    }, 
        
        logging =   {   
                        level   =   domoticz.LOG_ERROR,                   
                        marker  =   "filter "
                   },
     
    execute = function(dz, item)
        spaces = " " ; for i=1,25 do spaces = spaces .. " " end
        
        local function logWrite(str,level)
            dz.log(tostring(str),level or dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end
        
        dz.devices().filter(function(dv)                         -- Chain filter and forEach
            return (dv.deviceType == "Thermostat" and dv.deviceSubType == "SetPoint" )
        end).forEach(function(dv)
            logWrite((dv.name .. spaces ):sub(1,25) .. dv.setPoint,dz.LOG_FORCE)
            -- dv.updateSetPoint(12)                                                   -- Setting all setPoints in your system to 12
        end)
    
    end
}
