More options to trigger devices

[alexkoel]

It would be great if it was possible to trigger a device on a status or value of another device.
e.g. Blinds closes when the sun sensor is above a specific value, bathroom fan activates when humidity reaches a certain level, spot on the driveway activates when PIR senses moving during the night, etc.

I know you can do a lot with scripting, but I found out that the most easy one (dzvents) has his strange behaviors. It is also not userfriendly for people who are not familiar with scripting.

Can you please elaborate on what you call "strange behaviors"
I might be able to explain / clarify.

I copied a very simple script and adjust it to my needs. It switched a light on when temerature was below 14 degrees. It worked. I changed the light to a blind and I received "attempt to call a nil value (field 'SwitchOff'". I changed switchoff() to close(), same result. I changed back to the light. Fault persists. I wasn't able to make the script working.
Not working script below:

Code: Select all

return {
   on = {
       timer = { 'every minute'  } },
      
   execute = function(domoticz)
      local Sensor = domoticz.devices('Temp Druiven')
      if Sensor.temperature < 14 then
         domoticz.devices('SWD Staande lamp TV').SwitchOff()
      end
   end
}

Case matters...

The method SwitchOff() does not exist. Try again and use switchOff()
