Trigger dzVents script with MQTT command (customEvents)

[riko]

I'm testing a trigger of a dzVents script by a MQTT command send by NodeRED.

Domoticz is set-up to receive MQTT commands through with the domoticz/in prefix (this works to trigger devices already). I've created a test flow in NodeRED, which results in the following output on MQTT:

The dzVents script has the following triggers defined (I'm intended to schange the MyEvent and myData description later on, but this is for the sake of testing):

Code: Select all

return {
        on = { 
			timer = {
				'at ' .. TijdAan, 
				'at ' .. TijdUit, 
				"at sunrise", 
				"at sunset" 
				},
			customEvents = {
				"command":"customevent", "event":"MyEvent", "data":"myData"
				}	
			},
        
        logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR , marker = "Lamp voorkamer"},
        
		execute = function(dz, item)

Domoticz gives the following error, so I suppose it has something to do with the signs around the custom event. I've tried "" and [[ ]], but without any effect:

2023-01-17 11:17:53.823 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.1.8) error loading module 'control_lamp_voorkamer' from file '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/scripts/control_lamp_voorkamer.lua':

I think you format a , behind the } on line
And don't put the mqtt message in there, but the event name

Code: Select all

return {
        on = { 
			timer = {
				'at ' .. TijdAan, 
				'at ' .. TijdUit, 
				"at sunrise", 
				"at sunset" 
				},
			customEvents = { 'MyEvent'
				},	
			},
        
        logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR , marker = "Lamp voorkamer"},
        
		execute = function(dz, item)

Well, it's not functioning lua code. Check the documentation: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/DzVents:_ ... tom_events
Try:

Code: Select all

customEvents = { "MyEvent" }	

And you'll get "myData" in your function in item.data.

Great, I misunderstood the documentation. Thank you!
