Hey
I am looking for a command to reset the text log of a switch / sensor via a script file.
I am looking for the command that is under the delete button (wissen).

read the comments in the script first. If anything is not clear please feel free to ask

Code: Select all

local scriptVar = 'textClearAPI'

return
{
    on = 
    { 
        devices = 
        {
            'clearText',    -- create as a virtual selector type switch. Levels 0 = 'Off', 
                            -- 10, 20, etc.. like clear nameOfDevicetoClear log & text 
                            -- name of the device to clear must be the second word in the level 
        },
        httpResponses =
        {
            scriptVar,
        }
    },

    logging =   
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- set to LOG_ERROR when tested and OK
        marker = 'Clear text and log: ', 
    },
       
    execute = function(dz, item)
        
        local function getAndClearLightLog(idx)
            local getTextURL =  dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. '/json.htm?type=textlog&idx=' .. idx
            local deleteTextURL = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. '/json.htm?type=command&param=clearlightlog&idx=' .. idx
            dz.openURL(
            { 
                url = getTextURL,  
                method = "GET", 
                callback = scriptVar,
            })
            dz.openURL(deleteTextURL).afterSec(3)
        end
        
        
        if item.isDevice and item.level ~= 0 then
            clearDevice = dz.devices(dz.utils.stringSplit(item.levelName,' ')[2]) 
            dz.log('current text: ' .. clearDevice.state)
            if clearDevice.deviceSubType == 'Text' then clearDevice.updateText('').silent() end
            getAndClearLightLog(clearDevice.id)
            item.switchOff().silent()
        elseif item.isHTTPResponse then
            for index, record in ipairs( item.json.result) do
                dz.log(record.Date .. ' ' .. record.Data)
            end    
        end    
    end
}

Waaren tks
I will convert the script.
What matters to me is that the logs of certain sensors are emptied every month.
Or maybe even better, save the last 50 or 100 (adjustable).
And automatically erase the rest.
Thanks in advance for this example.

[waaren]

... a nd automatically erase the rest.

Is this not already a standard feature of domoticz that can be configured in [setup] [settings] [log history] ?

[JanAtHome]

That are all sensors.

[waaren]

That are all sensors.

No. Also Switches / lights

Hello Waaren
You misunderstand me.
I mean that I want to reset some sensors / switches / lights logs, not all. But only the item I have chosen.

OK, understand now. Thx for clarifying.
