Events system thread (questions and feedback)

[CopyCatz]

Your blockly event is incorrect. You can't use a text box for value checking, use the integer block (the last one under logic). I still have to correct all this because people start making combo's that aren't really working. I'm planning a complete workover to take out the pieces that are confusing, but unfortunately that will break most existing events so I'm still thinking about it.

Ah, ok. Good. Did you find the problem with groups not showing up?
Great work btw! I like how easy it is when you know what to do.

[CopyCatz]

Can you try to make a new group with a simple name (no comma and in plain ascii without diacritics) to see if that works? I can't reproduce your issue in my system.

All my groups shows up if i have at least one scene. Only groups shows nothing.



So, this one is also wrong?

Code: Select all

Error: Wed Sep 25 14:07:09 2013 Lua script error: [string "result = 0; weekday = os.date('*t')['wday']; ..."]:1: ')' expected near 'comparevariable'

That was the problem, thanks. I just uploaded a fix. The Lua error about the comparevariable is a more complicated one, I don't know the cause yet. Edit: in your case the daglsjus thing is a utility device judging from the color of the block, those don't work yet.

Yes. It is a 1-wire A/D device. I read my light sensor using it. I need to turn off/on my lights based on that one, not sunrise or sunset.

The device has 4 inputs so i can measue 4 voltages 0 - 5v. It has many uses.

Could you please add this to your to-do?

Thanks again!

The main problem is that those devices can have all sorts of values and not just a single one. In the temp/baro/hum devices we can split those, but I can't reall foresee all the different values in the other devices. You might want to try lua for this and parse the svalues numbers yourself.

It can have 0 - 5000mW. How do you mean?
Does it have to be some stand alone device just for the AD-converter?

Don't use a time input to specify the minutes but an integer input.

[CopyCatz]

See, this is one of the situations where I wish the time block wouldn't fit in the for .. minutes block (blockly doesn't support it). Otherwise I have to program in a calculation from time notation to int, but once we go down that road...

I'm thinking of removing the time and int blocks completely and just offer a text box in the relevant block, so you'd only have to type in the value and not choose a value block first. This will however break all existing blockly events...

[gertjuhh]

Is there no way to restrict which blocks go where in the blocky UI?

Copycatz,

"""" v1.1023: Scenes and groups on/off/active/inactive via events, fixed bug where inactive event would still trigger
when multiple events apply. Comma now supported in event OpenURL. events now triggered by security state change
implemented script_security_name.lua for sec panel triggers in lua. """""

in v1.1026
Security panel :

Where is 'script_security_name.lua' or 'script_security_demo.lua ??

Not in /scripts/lua.

Please give examples in lua (disarm, arm home arm away, clear)
Where are security passwords ? In sqlite3 [no security table]?

Thanks

[CopyCatz]

There is no security example (yet). I've added info to the wiki.

I used this to test:

script_security_test.lua

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
if (globalvariables['Security'] == 'Armed Home') then
	commandArray['Staande lamp']='On'
	commandArray['SendNotification']='subject#body'
end

return commandArray

Security code has been in preferences for some time now...

[jfcjfc]

it's OK (1026).

commandArray = {}
if (globalvariables['Security'] == 'Armed Home' and otherdevices['TEST_1'] == 'Off') then
commandArray['TEST_1']='On'
commandArray['TEST_2']='Off'
end
if (globalvariables['Security'] == 'Disarmed' and otherdevices['TEST_1'] == 'On') then
commandArray['TEST_1']='Off'
commandArray['TEST_2']='On'
end
return commandArray

Is it possible to have an event started if time is between 22:00 and 07:00 ?
I have tried this in blocly, but it will not work, perhaps because of the daychange ?

thanks ! That did it.

Is there a block that can read the group status? I need one for "if group on do this" and "if group off do that"
The group status could be mixed too but i still want to know if i should turn the lights on or off based on the group status... hm. If the event system turns the group on and i manually turns one light off i get the status mixed. So i would need if group status = "if group on OR mixed do."

Now, i do this:


If I turn the "Fönster, kök" off manually the script will turn it on again within a minute because i only got status for one light, I don't want that. How to do?

[CopyCatz]

As the mouseover on groups and scene states, they can only be used in a "set" command. Check individual devices from a group/scene (or all of them) to do what you want.

Mouseover? Cant see anything.

I can check all but if one has a different state it will turn everything on?
Edit: Ah, i could use a dummy device.

This one works:

I could include the dummy device in the group but I want blockly to be the only thing that changes it (unless i toggle the device directly of course. hehe).

Thanks!
