Its working on my PoC machine but not my Prod box.
If you look at the device attributes from my prod machine it's missing,

these are in the PoC box.

That's really strange. Can you try to give the device the same name in production as it has on your poc machine? There must be some discrepancy between the two machines. I suspect the naming may be the culprit as Domoticz doesn't use ids but names in the Lua tables it provides to the scripts. I have to do some juggling to match all those tables to the same devices but it's all done by name.

But I wonder what is the time plan for getting this as a part of Domoticz? Is there a pull request or something where I can watch the progress? Could even blockly get support for this in some way?

I do have a question now that I have been running the script...
EventSystem: Lua script Washing machine did not return a commandArray

Do I need to encapsulate the script using Commandarray() ?

raptorjr wrote:Another question. I have a water volume device, it shows total litres and something that seems to be current m3 value. Litres seems to be impossible to use or reset, and is now only a nonsense value( 5350 litres and I just added that device???)

But m3 seems to actually be the value I need, the current volume, and is possible to reset. But I don't know how I can access that m3 value from dzVents?

The value 0 Liter is accumulated, and not what I need.

Is it possible to use a function in the timer section too?

I've got the problem that I use several scripts for my blinds which should only be executed when it is sunrise or sunset. I'm checking the domoticz.time.isDayTime or domoticz.time.isNightTime attribute

Code: Select all

return {
        active = true,
        on = {
                ['timer'] = 'at sunset',
                ['timer'] = 'at sunrise'

...

if ( domoticz.time.isNightTime and myLevelBlinds > 20) then
                                domoticz.devices['Blinds'].dimTo(10)

But I've got the problem that not all of them get executed everytime. Sometimes my blinds will open or close, sometimes not because the event is missed by Domoticz. So I want to run the script again e.g. 3 minutes after sunrise/sunset. I've written a lua script which is able to calculate that time but how can I include this with dzevents timer?

I've already tried to put the value in a globalData Variable & use this with the timer event, but no luck. Alternatively something like '3 minutes after sunset' would be great

Any help is appreciated...

Code: Select all

local arrDataVars = {'Counter1', 'Counter2', 'Counter3'}

and then in the data = { } part something magic.
Maybe use something like loadstring("arrDataVars[1] = { initial = 0 }") ??

instead of

Code: Select all

data = {
  Counter1 = { initial = 0 },
  Counter2 = { initial = 0 },
  Counter3 = { initial = 0 }
}

Any help would be great

data = {
    myVar = { initial = {} }
}

domoticz.data.myVar['counter1'] = 1;
domoticz.data.myVar['counter2'] = 2;

dannybloe wrote:It is even simpler than that. Simply create a table variable:

Code: Select all

data = {
    myVar = { initial = {} }
}

Then you can do this:

Code: Select all

domoticz.data.myVar['counter1'] = 1;
domoticz.data.myVar['counter2'] = 2;

That should work.

I will try to migrate my current LUA scripts to dzVents.

In several of my old LUA scripts I call require to load a module with some handy functions that I use frequently. I use those functions frequently, for example when I want to have a message spoken out loud in the kitchen (using AutoRemote and Tasker):

Code: Select all

local b = require("scripts/lua/mymodule")
b.speak("Hello world")

I'm now trying to figure out the nicest and most elegant way to use my custom functions in dzVents scripts. I guess I could just use require to load a module as in the code above... I wish there was a some kind of hook mechanism or a way to "extend" the domoticz object in my dzVents script so that I could just issue a command like

Code: Select all

domoticz.speak('Hello world', domoticz.PRIORITY_NORMAL)

Any ideas about that? Thanks!

function b.OpenURL(url)
	-- The commandArray also supports nested tables to send the same command type multiple times.
	-- To do this, give the command a numeric index
	commandArray[#commandArray + 1]={['OpenURL']=url }
end

Thanks @dannybloe

I have the following function in my module:

Code: Select all

function b.OpenURL(url)
	-- The commandArray also supports nested tables to send the same command type multiple times.
	-- To do this, give the command a numeric index
	commandArray[#commandArray + 1]={['OpenURL']=url }
end

It allows me to call multiple URLs.

While my old LUA scripts was working with that code, I now have a problem with that I have no valid commandArray object reference. Also, my module doesn't seem to be able to access the domoticz object so I have currently no way to add something to the command array or access domoticz user variables... Maybe there is a way to solve that?
