CounterDelivToday no return value? [Solved]

[Kranendijk]

Hi all,

Domoticz time lately

All counters are working - but one it seems. I have a simple script to get the “CounterDelivToday” from my smart meter which is called “verbruik” to transfer the value of “CounterDelivToday” to a custom sensor called “StroomPanelenVandaag” to be shown on my dashticz v3 dashboard. The wife really loves it!

However it seems not to be filled, what’s wrong as I use the exact same mechanism for gas and electricity consumption??

Spoiler: show

--Voor Dashticz overal custom sensor van maken
return {
on = { timer = {'every 5 minutes'}},
logging = {level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- LOG_DEBUG, set to LOG_ERROR when script works as expected
},
execute = function(domoticz)
local STROOMPANELEN = domoticz.devices('Verbruik').CounterDelivToday
domoticz.devices('StroomPanelenVandaag').updateCustomSensor(STROOMPANELEN)
end
}

And a part of the json result:

local STROOMPANELEN = domoticz.devices('Verbruik').CounterDelivToday

The JSON key names do not have a one to one relation with dzVents attributes (names).
You can find the dzVents attribute names for a P1 type device in the dzVents wiki. For this value you will have to use the counterDeliveredToday attribute

Hahaha I used one of your dump scripts on the forum to check what is in the “Verbruik” device. I used CounterDeliveredToday which gave me no results... reading your post well, it should not be a capital C.

That was the trick. Easy peasy,

Getting the hang of it.
