Error compare number with nil

[kroonp]

Hello, a beginners question.
What do I wrong in this script.
I tried several options but I cant find the correct way.
Thanks in advance.
Peter

Code: Select all

return {
	active = true,
	on = {
    	variables = 
	    { 'situatie' },

		timer = {
			'every minute'
		},
	},

	
  execute = function(domoticz, variable)
	      -- variable is the variable that's triggered
        if (variable.value > 0) then
	    
	    domoticz.devices('Keuken').switchOn() 
		domoticz.log('Timer event was triggered by ' .. timer.trigger, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	    end
	end
}

variable

What do I wrong in this script.
2020-07-23 16:44:00.524 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.0.9) ...r/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/00 var dag nacht.lua:15: attempt to compare number with nil

The second parm of the execute function (in your script named variable) will be a variable when the script is triggered by the variable 'situatie' but every minute it will be a timer (trigger is 'every minute')
Regardless of what triggered it, your script tries to access the attribute value which is available for variables but not for a timer.

Try this

Code: Select all

return
{
    active = true,

    on =
    {
        variables =
        {
            'situatie'
        },

        timer =
        {
            'every minute'
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'variable and timer',
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)

        if item.isVariable then
            domoticz.log('Script triggered by variable: "' .. item.name .. '" (value = ' .. item.value .. ')' , domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
            if item.value > 0 then
				domoticz.log('Value > 0 ==>> switching "keuken" On' , domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
                domoticz.devices('Keuken').switchOn()
            end
        elseif item.isTimer then
            domoticz.log('Script triggered by timer: "' .. item.trigger ..'"', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        end
    end
}

I ran the received script. The switch is unfortunately not executed. I don't get an error either. Herewith the log.

This is intentional. The light will only be switched when the script is triggered by the variable.
From your script I could not determine what the script should do.
Please describe what you expect from the script when you change the value of the var and what your expectation is when the script is triggered by the timer.

Sorry, I didn't know that only changing the variable takes an action. Now that I know that, it is clear to me why the script did not do what I expected. So with your help it is now clear to me and I can move on. Thanks for the support.
