DzEvent error on virtual sensor reading voltage/amps

[frankwit]

Hi All!
I am unable to update 2 virtual sensors in Domoticz 2024-4 on a Raspi. VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
It throws an error:

"Method updateCustomSensor is not available for device "amps" (deviceType=General, deviceSubType=Current). If you believe this is not correct, please report.
2024-05-06 19:50:00.290 Error: dzVents: Error: (3.1.8) Method updateCustomSensor is not available for device "voltage" (deviceType=General, deviceSubType=Voltage).

I do get the correct data from the Youless which is copied into a temp file.
I used "curl" because the http poller did not work as expected in one way or another..
Here is the raw received data from the Youless 192.168.1.14/f that is copied as "http_response.txt" to the /home/pi/domoticz dir, and chmodded to 777 to no avail....
------------
{"ver": 50,"tr": 2,"i1": 3.000,"i2": 0.000,"i3": 0.000,"v1": 225.800,"v2": 0.000,"v3": 0.000,"l1": 449,"l2": 0,"l3": 0}
--------------
I am only interested in the "i1" and 'V1" values, these are supposed to be extracted and converted to json via this DzEvent script.

Can anyone shine a light on what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks in Advance!

Code: Select all

local tempFilePath = '/home/pi/domoticz/http_response.txt'  -- Path to temporary file

return {
    on = {
        timer = { 'every 1 minutes' }
    },
    execute = function(domoticz)
        local url = 'http://192.168.1.14/f'  
        -- Hardcoded URL  that creates the tempfile ,it does get created on the Pi as a TXT file: 
        -- {"ver": 50,"tr": 2,"i1": 7.000,"i2": 0.000,"i3": 0.000,"v1": 223.300,"v2": 0.000,"v3": 0.000,"l1": 1675,"l2": 0,"l3": 0}
        
        -- Send HTTP request and save response to temporary file
        os.execute('curl -s ' .. url .. ' > ' .. tempFilePath)
        
        -- Read response from temporary file
        local file = io.open(tempFilePath, 'r')
        if file then
            local response = file:read('*all')
            file:close()
            
            domoticz.log('Received HTTP response: ' .. response, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
            
            -- Extract the values behind "i1" and "v1"
            local i1_value = response:match('"i1": (%d+%.?%d*)')
            local v1_value = response:match('"v1": (%d+%.?%d*)')
            
            if i1_value and v1_value then
                -- Create a JSON string manually
                local jsonString = string.format('{"i1": %s, "v1": %s}', i1_value, v1_value)
                
                -- Update Domoticz virtual sensors Assuming IDX 9 for "amps" and IDX 10 for "voltage"
                domoticz.devices(9).updateCustomSensor(jsonString)
                domoticz.devices(10).updateCustomSensor(jsonString)
                
                domoticz.log('Updated virtual sensors with JSON data.', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
            else
                domoticz.log('Failed to extract values behind "i1" and "v1" from the response.', domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
            end
        else
            domoticz.log('Failed to open temporary file.', domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
        end
    end
}

Here it goes wrong

Code: Select all

                -- Update Domoticz virtual sensors Assuming IDX 9 for "amps" and IDX 10 for "voltage"
                domoticz.devices(9).updateCustomSensor(jsonString)
                domoticz.devices(10).updateCustomSensor(jsonString)
 

You are trying to update a Current device and a Voltage device with the updateCustomsensor() function. Also the value jsonstring will probably not work, you have to use i1_value and v1_value

It should be something like

Code: Select all

                -- Update Domoticz virtual sensors Assuming IDX 9 for "amps" and IDX 10 for "voltage"
                domoticz.devices(9).updateCurrent(i1_value)
                domoticz.devices(10).updateVoltage(v1_value)

Working! MUCH APPRECIATED! a BIG thank you!
