Beta Domoticz: method switchSelector not available for type Blinds Percentage

[mastadook]

Hi All,

regarding continous Problems with ZWave I buyed some BleBox Shutters
BleBox Addon also making some Problems, so I Updated to Domoticz Beta Version from 04.09.19
Now I see Error Messages from DZVents in My Log:
2019-09-05 12:30:00.324 Error: dzVents: Error: (2.4.28) method switchSelector not available for type Blinds Percentage

This is strage cause Blinds Percentage was allways possible to use SwitchSelector(xx)
Any Idea whats maybe wrong here?

Best Regards

[mastadook]

No Idea?
I think this is a Bug coming with new Domoticz Beta Version last Week
My Scripts can no longer control my Blinds

What was your previous domoticz / dzVents version ?

Can you please share the script and the output of the command.

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('name of your blind').dump() 

[mastadook]

Yes, I have many of them, all worked before, and did not worked after Update.
Here is one Examle:

Code: Select all

return {
   on = {
        timer = {"every 10 Minutes between 08:30 and 19:30"}},
   execute = function(domoticz, timer)
      if domoticz.devices('Rolladenautomatik').state == 'On' then
      if (domoticz.time.matchesRule('between 10:00 and 14:00')) and domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 40 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 80 then
         domoticz.devices('Rolladen').switchSelector(80)
         domoticz.log('Temp > 40 and Level < 80')
      elseif domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 30 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 60 then
         domoticz.devices('Rolladen').switchSelector(60)
         domoticz.log('Temp > 30 and Level < 60')
      elseif domoticz.devices('Lichtstärke Ostseite').lux > 800 and domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 25 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 60 then
        domoticz.devices('Rolladen').switchSelector(60)
        domoticz.log('LUX > 800 and Temp > 25 and Level < 60')
      end
end
end
}

Error Message when they try to set the Percentage is allways:

Code: Select all

2019-09-10 11:50:00.456 Error: dzVents: Error: (2.4.28) method switchSelector not available for type Blinds Percentage

I don´t know my Old Version, it was the latest Stable Version, I think from May this Year.
After the Update to Beta Versions, I run into this Errors

I´m not 100% sure, but I think, before, I was running this Config:

Code: Select all

Version 4.10717 (May 9th 2019)
- Updated: dzVents (version 2.4.19, See dzVents/documentation/history.md)

Now I´m running:

Code: Select all

Version: 4.11295
Build Hash: 588d244d2
Compile Date: 2019-09-09 08:57:05
dzVents Version: 2.4.28

Thx. Can you try it with the script below ? (I changed switchSelector to dimTo and add some code to help debugging)

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on =
    {
        timer = 
        { 
            "every 10 Minutes between 08:30 and 19:30",
        },
    },

    logging =
        {   
            level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
            marker = "Rolladen" 
        },

    execute = function(domoticz, timer)

        local dz = domoticz

        blind = dz.devices('Rolladen')
        for key,value in pairs(blind) do
            if type(value) ~= 'function' then
                 dz.log(key .. ': ' .. tostring(value),dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            end
        end

        if domoticz.devices('Rolladenautomatik').state == 'On' then
            if (domoticz.time.matchesRule('between 10:00 and 14:00')) and domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 30 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 80 then
                domoticz.devices('Rolladen').dimTo(80)
                domoticz.log('Temp > 40 and Level < 80')
            elseif domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 30 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 60 then
                domoticz.devices('Rolladen').dimTo(60)
                domoticz.log('Temp > 30 and Level < 60')
            elseif domoticz.devices('Lichtstärke Ostseite').lux > 800 and domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 25 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 60 then
                domoticz.devices('Rolladen').dimTo(60)
                domoticz.log('LUX > 800 and Temp > 25 and Level < 60')
            end
        end
    end
}

It is now at 60% in real.
I set the Script running every Minute, and it set the Shutters again to 60% every Minute.
Normaly, the Scripts requests the Position and don´t send any Commands, wehn it is at 60%.

This Part here:

Code: Select all

            elseif domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 30 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen Theo').level <= 60 then
                domoticz.devices('Rolladen Theo').dimTo(60)
                domoticz.log('Temp > 30 and Level < 60')
                

should not run.

Did this debugging will help you?

[waaren]

Did this debugging will help you?

Yes, the debug helps.
It seems that script works now. Only issue left is that it keeps setting the levels because the script checks on less or equal

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level <= 60 

and because it is set to that level, naturally it is equal the next run. So I now changed the check to check only less .

Code: Select all

domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level < 60 

Can you try this

Code: Select all

return 
{
    on = 
    {
        timer = { "every 10 Minutes between 08:30 and 19:30"}
    },
        logging =
        {   
            level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- Change to domoticz.LOG_INFO when no longer need to debug
            marker = "Rolladen" 
        },
                        
   execute = function(domoticz, timer)
       
        local dz = domoticz
            
        blind = dz.devices('Rolladen')
        for key,value in pairs(blind) do
            if type(value) ~= 'function' then
        	     dz.log(key .. ': ' .. tostring(value),dz.LOG_DEBUG)
		    end
		end    
	
    	if domoticz.devices('Rolladenautomatik').state == 'On' then
    	    if (domoticz.time.matchesRule('between 10:00 and 14:00')) and domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 40 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level < 80 then
    		    domoticz.devices('Rolladen').dimTo(80)
    			domoticz.log('Temp > 40 and Level < 80')
		    elseif domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 30 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level < 60 then
    		    domoticz.devices('Rolladen').dimTo(60)
    			domoticz.log('Temp > 30 and Level < 60')
    	    elseif domoticz.devices('Lichtstärke Ostseite').lux > 800 and domoticz.devices('Sensor Ostseite').temperature > 25 and domoticz.devices('Rolladen').level < 60 then
    		    domoticz.devices('Rolladen').dimTo(60)
    		    domoticz.log('LUX > 800 and Temp > 25 and Level < 60')
    	    end
    	end
    end
}

[mastadook]

OK, great, thank you for your Help. This seems to wok now.
But will it remain .dimTo or will .switchSelector come back???
.switchSelector is more the correct for this Function then .DimTo...

[waaren]

.switchSelector is more the correct for this Function then .dimTo...

In my opinion both method names are a bit far fetched for this type of device.
Would setLevel be an option ? I am open for other ideas.

I would say, setLevel will fit both, Light Level and Shutter Level.
What do you think?

I would say, setLevel will fit both, Light Level and Shutter Level.
