Blink device script

[groetg]

I tried to get the following script working on my rpi:
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Device_blink

Where is the part my dymmy switch puts the blink.py script on? It feels like somethings missing? nothing happens when the dunny switch is on...

I want to blink not 1 device, but 3, is that possible? I want al the lights in the room blink when alarm is ringing.

I got it so far the blink.py script runs when I SSH sudo python blink.py. So the script works, but now I try to copy i to a switch:

I did:
In the virtual switch set the on command to script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py
nothing happens when I press the device on.

changed the command to: script://home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py (one / less)
still nothing happens

What am I doing wrong?

This has been answered many times on the forum.

chmod +x /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py

Aan actie:

script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py

Sorry, this is my first script.

I got the script running, but in the log I see:
Error: Error executing script command (/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py). returned: 512

Through SSH the scripts is running, so my conclusion is that the script is allright.

It likely needs 3 slashes (/) not 2 after script:.

Create file "blink.sh" with content:

#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py&

chmod +x blink.sh

Aan actie:
script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.sh

This works for me

The script has Windows newlines, not Unix style.
The last line needs to be terminated.
Perhaps remove indentation of first line.

Unfortunately my TKB TZ68 switch, or my Zwave network, doesn't respond quickly enough to create regular flashes.
It also fills the log up!

@Sweetpants: Did what you said, nothing happens. Run the blink.sh script in Putty gives:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 2: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 3: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 4: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 5: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 6: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 7: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 8: import: command not found
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py: line 10: `def open_port():'

blink.sh is:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py&

Again: running /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/blink.py straight in putty gives flashing light, zo blink.py works, only to get it run in Domoticz seems to be the problem.

I changed some things in notepath and now I got it running even in Domoticz. Thanx for the help, something with open en save in notepath did the trick...
