DZvents unble to update text sensor with local value

Post by Kranendijk »

All,

I want to extract the numbers only from my "Weerstation" device's BMP280 so I have only the numbers and feed that to a local variable to have it in a new Text device called "Barometer". Reason? I need the numbers to be fed to an OLED. Numbers only.

To accomplish this I have created a DZvents time script "Barometer ding" which first does a device dump, then sets the barometer value into a local and then (according to the device dump) set this local value into the "Barometer" device so I can use it later on. I confirm there is data in the local by sending it to the Domoticz log.

Although I think I am doing all fine, Domoticz tells me there's something wrong as I cannot update the "Barometer" device. Tried custom sensor, baometer sensor, all the same. What am I missing here?

The script:

Code: Select all

return {
          on   = { timer    = { "every 1 minutes"}},
  execute = function(dz)
        dz.devices('Barometer').dump()
        local BAROMETER = dz.devices('Luchtdruk').barometer
        dz.log(' ### Luchtdruk ' .. BAROMETER .. ' ### ')
        dz.devices('Barometer').updateCustomSensor("BAROMETER")
  end
}
And the log:

Code: Select all

You have to send two arguments separated by comma to custom sensor.
Make sure it's really custom sensor.
Take a look my working example:

Code: Select all

return  {
   on = {
    timer = { 'every minute' },
    devices = { 'Stan_kotla' }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz, item)
	if (item.isTimer) then
		if (domoticz.devices('Stan_kotla').nValue == 3) then 
			domoticz.devices('Stankot').updateCustomSensor(1,1)
		
	    	elseif
			(domoticz.devices('Stan_kotla').nValue == 1) then  
			domoticz.devices('Stankot').updateCustomSensor(0,0)
		
	    end

That did the trick, thanks!

This is what I needed to change:
dz.devices('Barometer').updateCustomSensor(BAROMETER,1)
