Scene triggers unwanted a LUA script

[mischa]

I have the following script which set on a light based on the dim value of another light. see below

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
if (otherdevices_svalues['Overloop 1e etage'] > '10' and otherdevices['Trap'] == 'Off') then
	commandArray['Trap']='Set Level 1'
	elseif 
	(devicechanged['Overloop 1e etage'] == 'Off') then
	commandArray['Trap']='Off'
end

return commandArray

I also have made a "all off" scene with a timer which set all my lights off, but somehow this scene triggers the script above and set the ['Trap'] lights to level 1

I don't understand why this happens, can anyone point me in a direction.

Thanks,

Mischa

Should it be -
if (tonumber(otherdevices_svalues['Overloop 1e etage']) > 10 and ...

Should it be -
if (tonumber(otherdevices_svalues['Overloop 1e etage']) > 10 and ...

This is also working, but my scene still triggers the LUA script.

Don't think it matters using tonumber or the string value, as far as i know the svalues are stored as a string variable.

When a device value is set Domoticz will call 'device' scripts one after the other so if your Scene sets a device state your script will be called. This is expected behavior.

You need to extend your logic to make it only work when you want it to. Something like:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['Overloop 1e etage'] ~= nil) then
  if (otherdevices_svalues['Overloop 1e etage'] > '10' and otherdevices['Trap'] == 'Off') then
     commandArray['Trap']='Set Level 1'
     elseif 
     (devicechanged['Overloop 1e etage'] == 'Off') then
     commandArray['Trap']='Off'
  end
end
return commandArray

So if I do not check the device state (as I did in my script) the script will be executed when another device state is changed. Am I understand this correctly?

[mischa]

@Dnpwwo If i try your script I get the same behavior when scene is activated, deleted the scene and added again. But still the same behavior.
only my ['Trap'] lights are witched on, the are on a Fibaro RGB module.

Correct

Correct

Why is it then that only this scene triggers my script and every other device change does not?

Every device change triggers every script. Only some exceptions when a script changes a device.
