WIKI: domoticz.notify ? [Solved]

[Varazir]

Hello

I have looked at the wiki for DzVents and can't find how domoticz.notify works.

I like to send a custom http action notification.


TIA

notify in dzVents:

notify(subject, message, priority, sound, extra, subsystem): Function. Send a notification (like Prowl). Priority can be like domoticz.PRIORITY_LOW, PRIORITY_MODERATE, PRIORITY_NORMAL, PRIORITY_HIGH, PRIORITY_EMERGENCY. For sound see the SOUND constants below. subsystem can be a table containing one or more notification subsystems. See domoticz.NSS_xxx types.

so for http use domoticz.NSS_HTTP as notification subsystem. What the HTTP notification does is defined in the domoticz settings -> notifications page and not controlled by dzVents.

So domoticz.NSS_HTTP('subject', 'message') should work?

[waaren]

So domoticz.NSS_HTTP('subject', 'message') should work?

No.
syntax is notify(subject, message, priority, sound, extra, subsystem)
so you should use something like

Code: Select all

domoticz.notify("subject","message", domoticz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,nil,nil,domoticz.NSS_HTTP)

[Varazir]

So domoticz.NSS_HTTP('subject', 'message') should work?

No.
syntax is notify(subject, message, priority, sound, extra, subsystem)
so you should use something like

Code: Select all

domoticz.notify("subject","message", domoticz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,nil,nil,domoticz.NSS_HTTP)

When you say it you are ofc right

Thanks will try

I get this

If you look at your script you will see a line starting with execute = function(
The first parameter in this line is the reference to the domoticz object with all devices, variables, constants, etc..
You can give it any valid name (also called identifier) In Lua and dzVents a name can be any string of letters, digits, and underscores, not beginning with a digit and not one of the reserved words (and, break, do, else, elseif, end, false, for, function, if, in,local, nil, not, or, repeat, return, then, true, until, while)
So if you use domoticz as name you can reference any sub object in the domoticz object using that name followed by a dot "domoticz."
for example domoticz.devices() , domoticz.log, etc

If you choose dz as name you must use that so it would become dz.devices() dz.log, etc.

in your example is would become

Code: Select all

dz.notify("IKEA Hallen","Stänger av Lamporna i hallen", dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,nil,nil,dz.NSS_HTTP)

Hope this clarifies
