[Solved] DzVents scripts not working anymore after upgrade [Solved]

[McJohn]

The 2 different scripts below worked perfectly in

Raspbian Stretch 9.8
Domoticz 4.9700

But after an upgrade / new installation to:

Raspbian Buster 10
Domoticz 2020.2 (build 12067)

Both scripts are dead.

Can somebody help us with the solution?
Thanks in advance.

Power available Script:

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
            timer = { 'every minute' }},
        
    execute = function( dz )
        local voltage = dz.devices('Voltage')
        local power= dz.variables('Power')
        
        local function setvar(var, to)
            if var.value ~= to and dz.startTime.secondsAgo > 120 then var.set(to) end
        end
        
        if voltage.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 120 then
            setvar(power,'Off')
        else
            setvar(power,'On')
        end
        
    end

Max temperature to Text Device script:

Code: Select all

local temperatureDevice = 'Temp+HumOutside -- change to name of your Temperature device
local temperatureTextDevice = 'TempOutside Max' -- change to name of your text device
local temperatureVariable = 'TempOutsideMax' -- change to name of your variable 

return {
            on = {
                     devices = { temperatureDevice }, 
                     timer = { 'at 00:03' },         -- time to reset variable and text device
                 },
            
    execute = function(dz, item)
        temperatureVariable =  dz.variables(temperatureVariable) 
        temperatureTextDevice = dz.devices(temperatureTextDevice)
        
        if item.isTimer then
            temperatureVariable.set(-55)
            temperatureTextDevice.updateText('max temp today: notset yet' .. dz.time.rawTime)
        elseif item.temperature > temperatureVariable.value then  
            temperatureVariable.set(dz.utils.round(item.temperature,1))
            temperatureTextDevice.updateText('max temp today: ' .. dz.utils.round(item.temperature,1) .. '° C om ' .. dz.time.rawTime)
        end
   end
}

I had a calculation going wrong.

There must be some hint in the log file. I suspect the round function

I don't see something in the scripts that would cause them to fail.

Do you see anything in the log?
Do these scripts start at all; are there any other dzVents scripts active and working?

If you don't seen anything please double check if event system and dzVents are both set to active.

I activate debug logging in below scripts. Can you try again with these?

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
       timer =
       {
          'every minute',
       },
   },

   logging =
   {
       level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when everything executes without problems
   },

    execute = function( dz )
        local voltage = dz.devices('Voltage')
        local power= dz.variables('Power')

        local function setvar(var, to)
            if var.value ~= to and dz.startTime.secondsAgo > 120 then var.set(to) end
        end

        if voltage.lastUpdate.secondsAgo > 120 then
            setvar(power,'Off')
        else
            setvar(power,'On')
        end
    end
}

Code: Select all

local temperatureDevice = 'Temp+HumOutside -- change to name of your Temperature device
local temperatureTextDevice = 'TempOutside Max' -- change to name of your text device
local temperatureVariable = 'TempOutsideMax' -- change to name of your variable

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            temperatureDevice,
        },
        timer =
        {
           'at 00:03',
        },         -- time to reset variable and text device
    },

   logging =
   {
       level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when everything executes without problems
   },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        temperatureVariable =  dz.variables(temperatureVariable)
        temperatureTextDevice = dz.devices(temperatureTextDevice)

        if item.isTimer then
            temperatureVariable.set(-55)
            temperatureTextDevice.updateText('max temp today: notset yet' .. dz.time.rawTime)
        elseif item.temperature > temperatureVariable.value then
            temperatureVariable.set(dz.utils.round(item.temperature,1))
            temperatureTextDevice.updateText('max temp today: ' .. dz.utils.round(item.temperature,1) .. '° C om ' .. dz.time.rawTime)
        end
    end
}

The round function failed in some versions when it was feeded with a type string but here it is a number (the temperature attribute is of type number)

Thank you so much for the fast reply and the hint of the day:

If you don't seen anything please double check if event system and dzVents are both set to active.

That did the trick!
After a fresh install of Domoticz version Domoticz 2020.2 (build 12067) dzVents is default disabled....
Don't ask me why...

After enabling, all the scripts are working perfect again.

Thanks for your time.
