LUA syntax for textdevice

[BartSr]

Hi in dzVents I use syntax for textdevice like:
domoticz.devices(1554).updateText('humidityTmin5: ' .. humidityTmin5)

That's OK. But what's a LUA syntax to update the textdevice?

Why? Well I am trying to use the domoticz LUA script for vent regulation based upon humidity but it fails.
Now I want to monitor the VAR's using a textdevice like:

domoticz.devices(1554).updateText('humidityTmin5: ' .. humidityTmin5 .. 'humidityTmin10: ' .. humidityTmin10 .. 'Humidity delta: ' .. delta .. 'humCounter:' .. humCounter .. 'fanFollowsProgram:' .. fanFollowsProgram )

TIA
-Bart

Code: Select all

        local device = domoticz.devices(40) --  text device
        local text = 'Str1 <br/>  Str2  <br/> Str3'
      
        local style = '<span style="color: red;">' .. text .. '</span>' 
        device.updateText(style)

        device.updateText(style)

This is the dzvents syntax, not the Lua syntax.

@Waltervl
Thanks for pointing in direction for solution.
Should someone has converted the dz LUA script already in dzVents?

meanwhile I face strange behaviour with this script (in fact with the fanswitch)
it happened today that the fan got a switch-on command. The fan-switch icon showd fan is running. When I checked the fan itselves it appeared fan was not running.
Than I manually switched off the fan (via dz fan-icon) and switched on again causing the fan to start as expected.

Meanwhile later on same situation. Now I didnot do any thing manual . A few minutes later dz switched off the fan.
Weird control for me...
