Use globalData in dzvents active test?

[doh]

Trying to use a globalData value in the active part of a dzvents script to determine whether to run it or not, like this:

Code: Select all

return {

	active = function(domoticz)
			return (domoticz.globalData.variablename ~= '')
	end,
	on = ...

This just errors - looks like it doesn't recognise globalData within the active section:

Code: Select all

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

Yes. define the variable in the helpers = section of the global_data script and refer to it like

Code: Select all

return {

	active = function(domoticz)
			return (domoticz.helpers.variablename ~= '')
	end,
	on = ...
