It appears that a text input is not working in Blocky

You can better use a Dzvents script.
I've tried a simplte test script and this is working
Code: Select all
local scriptVar = '-=# TEST #=-'
local testswitch = 290
return
{
on = {
devices = {testswitch,},
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR,
marker = scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local UPS_status = dz.devices(560)
if UPS_status.text == 'ONLINE' then
dz.log('APS UPS is : ' ..UPS_status.text, dz.LOG_FORCE)
end
end
}
I think for your example it looks like this
You need to change the ID number of your devices (290 and 300) in this script
Code: Select all
local scriptVar = '-=# TEST #=-'
local UPS_status = 290 -- fill in your device ID of the EATON
local Light = 300 -- fill in your device ID of the Le Bureau
return
{
on = {
devices = {UPS_status,},
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR,
marker = scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local UPS_status = dz.devices(UPS_status)
local Light = dz.devices(Light)
if UPS_status.text == 'ONLINE CHARGING' or UPS_status.text == 'ONBATTERY DISCHARGING' then
Light.switchOn().checkFirst()
dz.log('APS UPS is : ' ..UPS_status.text, dz.LOG_FORCE)
end
end
}

Notifications
Well I've only just bought a UPS (Tecnoware) and installed this plugin so let's start by saying a big thanks to the author!
But, as others have reported here, I could not get notifications to work when power was lost/restored with the
"NUT - UPS Status Mode" changing between ONLINE and ONBATTERY.
One of the recent comments mentioned using blockly so I started out by looking in there and I noticed (when you look at the current values of devices) that there is a column for the "State" and another for the "Value" for each device.
For my UPS the status mode shows the following:
State as "ONLINE" and
Value as "1/ONLINE" when there is AC power (top line below):
- Screenshot 2022-12-01 at 11-32-19 Domoticz.png (36.54 KiB) Viewed 1553 times
or
State as "ONBATTERY" and
Value as "4/ONBATTERY" when running on battery:
- Screenshot 2022-12-01 at 11-39-47 Domoticz.png (15.26 KiB) Viewed 1553 times
So, under the Domoticz "Utility" tab I went into the Notifications for the "UPS Status Mode" and tried using the numeric "Value" instead of the text status. I powered off my UPS and a minute or so later I powered it back on and both times I received a notification (Pushbullet and Telegram in my case). See screenshot and note below:
- Screenshot 2022-12-01 at 11-41-32 Domoticz.png (94.84 KiB) Viewed 1553 times
Important - Make sure you change the "Ignore Interval" to on (green) so that the status change will always send out a notification. (I forgot to show this in the above screenshot)
For testing purposes I lowered the polling interval by editing the plugin.py to 20 seconds but will now increase it back to 1 minute.
Just need to decide now whether to set this to ring the (battery) doorbell when power is lost and risk waking the household at night!
Hope this helps people like me who were struggling with notifications.

Sorry for the question, where can I see that?

You get to it by clicking on
Setup, More Options, Events. This takes you to the automation scripts page where you can see device statuses.
You can also get there with http or
https://ipaddress:8080/#/Events (substitute your IP address and change the port if you don't use 8080).
Good luck. I found the device statuses by accident. I'd seen them before but completely forgotten.

The plugin works well using simple notifications sent out on Pushover, however I'm trying to write a Blocky script to report the UPS Backup Time whenever the UPS status mode is offline. When constructing an if statement, only the Backup Time device shows up when clicking Devices>Utility and not Status Mode. Both these devices as well as the UPS Charge device show up when I click the current states icon. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I am using Domoticz 2024/7 on a Raspberry Pi 4B. The UPS is a Cyberpower 1500AVR.

That UPS status device is probably a selector switch and can be found under light/switches.

Thanks for the quick reply. Nothing was found under switches but ironically it was under Zwave Alarms even though it is not a Zwave device. Sorry for the tunnel vision.
