which script type? how function?

[abdolhamednik]

hello everyone

as a beginner here in lua, am i right?
all: script will run with change in everything: minutes, variables, devices
time: will run every minutes
device: will run when any device changes, e.g a sensor's temperature, a relay, an input contact,...

again am i right?
we can have many scripts with type 'all' or 'device' or 'time' that all of them are ON(active) simultaneously

and finally:
why should an 'all' script not be seen in log always next to every other script that has run at that moment?

thank you in advance

true

true. But there can be only one script executing at the same time. They will all be executed after each other.

and finally:
why should an 'all' script not be seen in log always next to every other script that has run at that moment?

Any type of script is only triggered once per event. So only one time with every device, -variable change and once per minute.
You can have many time and many device, variable triggered scripts and they will all execute based on these triggers.

For example if you have 8 "device triggered" scripts and 2 "all triggered" scripts, all 10 will be executed on every device change.

very good waaren...like always

can u help me what to do with this tiny all-triggered script. i see it there in log rarely

If you don't see anything in the log then probably none of the if / elseif conditions evaluate to true.

I added some extra print lines in below version. It will dump all uservars and the commandArray to the log and might help you in debugging the script.

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

local function tprint (t, indent, done)
  local done = done or {} 
  indent = indent or 0
  for key, value in pairs (t) do
    pre = (string.rep (" ", indent)) -- indent it
    if type (value) == "table" and not done[value] then
      done [value] = true
      print (pre .. tostring (key) .. ":");
      tprint (value, indent + 2, done)
    elseif type(value) == 'function' and not done[value] then
      print( pre .. (tostring (key) .. "()"))
    else
      pre = pre .. (tostring (key) .. ": ")
      print (pre .. tostring(value))
    end
  end
end

local function var2Num(var)
    print (tostring(var) ..': ' .. (tonumber(uservariables[var] or 0 ) ) )    
    return tonumber(uservariables[var] or 0  )
end    

print ('------------------- All uservars' )
tprint(uservariables)

so, is it true that a script runs, but doesn't show its name in log if it makes no change in vars or outputs?

Almost.

the message "EventSystem: Script event triggered: <path/nameOfScript>" will be send to the log if the setting for
log 'event script triggers' ( via [setup][settings][other] ) is set like

log.png (14.59 KiB) Viewed 378 times

AND

there is something in the commandArray table.

waaren
i'd really like to understand the robust functional "domoticz" and "lua" completely
but i found no complete step-by-step guide. so, the forum is the only way for me

• lua.org; i think it differs somehow from the lua in domoticz and

• neither the manual DomoticzManual.pdf nor the wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Main_Page is complete or step-by-step

to stop this confusion, is there any good idea?

[waaren]

to stop this confusion, is there any good idea?

The Lua in domoticz is a complete implementation of the Lua as described at Lua.org. The differences are the triggering of the scripts, the tables passed from domoticz to Lua with the information on devices, uservars, etc and the commandArray passed back from Lua to domoticz.

For generic Lua knowledge, lua.org is an excellent source of information
For domoticz specifics look at this wiki page

and if that is not sufficient, start coding and amaze yourself. If you got stuck with something after searching, trying, debugging then this forum is the place to go.
