Extracting Setpoint from a Radiatorvalve

[jvdz]

There are still 2 "Radiator Bedroom" devices in your list. One has the value 15.0 and the other On.
It is important to have unique names for your devices when you want to do scripting as that works with the names.

Hi Jos,

True, The changing of the name (unique) didn't make any difference, so I changed it back to the original state, automatically created by Domoticz.
And.. as you can see, in Blockly it works.
Its true that Lua is more flexible but maybe Blockly is the way to go...

[jvdz]

Blockly is using LUA so don't see where there could be any difference.
As stated, you really need to use unique device names for LUA/Blockly to work reliable.
I am still curious to see the same information (screen capture and script log info) when you have renamed the devices to a unique name .
Will write a little debug script later today in case it still doesn't work, showing some more debug info.

Put this code in a script called script_time_debug.lua :

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
searchname="Radiator"

print("Show status for devices containing:" .. searchname)
for name, idx in pairs(otherdevices_idx) do
	if string.find( name,searchname) then
		print("IDX=" .. idx .. "   Name=" .. name .. "   otherdevices[]=" .. otherdevices[name] ..  "   otherdevices_svalues[]=" .. otherdevices_svalues[name])
	end
end
print("--- done-----")

return commandArray

It will run each minute so as soon as it has ran you can rename it to script_time_debug_demo.lua so it stops running.
Curious what the output will be.

Hi Jos,

this is the part of the log created by your debug script:

2016-05-12 10:09:10.317 LUA: Show status for devices containing:Radiator

In the GUI they are all 15.0 C

As you can see it is finding the switch, not the setpoint device at this moment.
So what did you rename your Setpoint device with IDX 503 to?

Hi Jos,
I renamed the 503, 505, 507 and 509 by adding "_Setpoint" to the device name. IE "Radiator Bedroom_setpoint". Ran your script again but the output remains the same.

That looks like I would expect it to be

I guess I can continue with the script now... thank you very much.
