Something stupid , a dummy problem "actualWatt"

[PeterRozenveld]

I keep getting an error in line 21:
" Local kmptt = .... "
Does a Dummy (Watts) have different value names ?

And is it possible to use the IF and THEN statement several times in a row ?

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            'Kookplaat_F1_(Rechts)',
            'Kookplaat_F3_(Links_Flexzone)',
            'Tot_Fornuis'
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'Regulating Afz_350',
    },

    execute = function(dz, devices)

    local kpmtt = domoticz.devices('Tot_Fornuis')  -- Tot_Fornuis is a dummy. But .usage or .actualWatt doesn´t work !
       
        if kpmtt >= 100 and kmptt < 350  then 
                domoticz.openURL('192.168.2.171/light/0?turn=on&brightness=45')
        end
end
}

Check the device type and see what are the available Dzvents properties for that device (dummy or not does not matter): https://wiki.domoticz.com/DzVents:_next ... ic_devices

[PeterRozenveld]

I tried the following
local kpmtt = domoticz.devices(‘Tot Stove’).Energy
local kpmtt = domoticz.devices(‘To-Stove’).Usage
local kpmtt = domoticz.devices(‘To-Stove’).actualWatt

none of them work....
And the translation in Domoticz from Dummy Hardware to Dutch is quite confusing !

Code: Select all

[waltervl]

Can you post a screenshot of the device widget (it shows the device type) or from the Dummy list tell what you have selected: https://wiki.domoticz.com/Dummy_for_virtual_Switches

[boum]

first fix the basic error between

Code: Select all

execute = function(dz, devices)

and

Code: Select all

    local kpmtt = domoticz.devices('Tot_Fornuis')  -- Tot_Fornuis is a dummy. But .usage or .actualWatt doesn´t work !

use either domoticz or dz everywhere but not a mix

then follow the advice and find the type of the device to determine which property to query

[PeterRozenveld]

Ok thx!

Done

It's : Usage, Electricity and the property? is .POWER

but that seems not to work either.

[waltervl]

That is the description. The dzvents options are:
Electric usage
.actualWatt: Number. Current Watt usage.
.WhActual: Number. Current Watt usage. (please use actualWatt)
.updateEnergy(energy): Function. In Watt.

But also make sure you do not mixup domoticz and dz references....

[habahabahaba]

Code: Select all

execute = function(domoticz, item)

        local kpmtt = domoticz.devices(113) --idx of Electric counter
        
        if kpmtt.actualWatt >= 100 and kpmtt.actualWatt < 350  then 
            
            domoticz.log('Current electricity usage:', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
            domoticz.log(kpmtt.actualWatt .. ' Watt', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
                
        end       

    end

sorry doesn´t seem to work.

[waltervl]

sorry doesn´t seem to work.

This is not the whole script. Please use common dzvents sense here

And telling it does not work does also not help. Tell exactly what is not working...

[habahabahaba]

Show the full script and the log

I will be absent until Friday
