Hi, everybody !

i don't understand why this sample script fails : user variable "presence_globale" doesn't matches the pattern "presence-*" ?

Code: Select all

return {
	active= true,
	on = {
		variables= {
			"presence-*"
		}
	},
	logging= {
		level= domoticz.LOG_DEBUG
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, variable)
		domoticz.log("trigger variable "..variable.name.." = "..tostring(variable.value).." changed "..tostring(variable.changedalue));
	end
}

here is the log :

2020-01-13 07:56:32.830 Status: dzVents: Info: Handling variable-events for: "presence_globale", value: "1"

From the script I cannot determine what it should print but changedalue does not exist as a valid method or attribute of an object of type variable. That is why you see nil.

See below script and some output of it. It might point you in the right direction.

Code: Select all

--[[
dz Essai
--]]

return {
	active= true,
	on = {
		variables= {
			"presence-*"
		}
	},
	
	logging= {
		level= domoticz.LOG_DEBUG
	},
	
	execute = function(domoticz, variable)
	    -- changedalue does not exist as a valid method or attribute of an objkect of type variable
	    -- domoticz.log("trigger variable "..variable.name.." = "..tostring(variable.value).." changed " .. tostring(variable.changedalue));
		domoticz.utils.dumpTable(variable)
		domoticz.log("trigger variable "..variable.name.." = ".. tostring(variable.value).." changed ",domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
	end
}

i don't understand why this sample script fails : user variable "presence_globale" doesn't matches the pattern "presence-*" ?

From the script I cannot determine what it should print but changedalue does not exist as a valid method or attribute of an object of type variable. That is why you see nil.

Thanks for your answer...
The problem (except changedalue, sorry for that) is :

i want to select only variables beginning with "presence-".
But the script is triggered for "presence_globale" wich doesn't begin with the search pattern...
hyphen is not underscore !

what did i missed ?

You did not miss anything. This is a bug that existed in the code until some months ago. It was corrected in a recent beta
