Blimey.. thats good, it is working, well it prints the test at any rate.
i expected to see some lat,long output in the log, guess i'll find out tomorrow when i leave
thanks a lot

mvzut wrote: I tried to solve it with the 'if prev_distance == nil then prev_distance = 1000 end" line, to give it an initial value that is large enough so that the text device gets updated, but it doesn't even get to that point apparently. You could change the contents of the text field into something like "(1000 km)" by hand, but I don't find that a very elegant solution. I think I found a better solution now:

Please change these lines

Code: Select all

prev_dist = tonumber(string.sub(string.match(otherdevices['Position ' .. user], '%(.*%)'), 2,-5))
if prev_distance == nil then prev_distance = 1000 end

into this

Code: Select all

prev_distance_str = string.match(otherdevices['Position ' .. user], '%(.*%)') or '(1000 km)'
prev_dist = tonumber(string.sub(prev_distance_str, 2,-5))

I had to change the line

Code: Select all

prev_dist = tonumber(string.sub(string.match(otherdevices['Position ' .. user], '%(.*%)'), 2,-5))

to

Code: Select all

prev_dist = tonumber(string.sub(string.match(otherdevices_svalues['Position ' .. user], '%(.*%)'), 2,-5))

to get this working.

bad argument #1 to 'sub' | string expected, got nil

Nice, do you have some more information available on this?

Only in PHP
It's included in my pass2php script (http://egregius.be/tag/domoticz/ and https://github.com/Egregius/PHP-Custom- ... r-Domoticz)
Once operational it's enough to have a line like this:

Code: Select all

ios('test message with high priority');

Then the message is sent as if it would be sent from the findmyiphone service, because of that it always makes sound. Ideal for those really important messages like movement in the living room while you're sleeping and the phone is on do not disturb mode. Mine is always in that mode during the night.

The names of the devices are correct and i receive the position of my device.

Who can help me.

2016-09-15 16:05:08.934 LUA: iPhone xxxxxx: 6073.64 km from home

...i'm a long way from home.....that's strange because I'm at home right nog.

Long/Latitude are correct, timezone is Amsterdam, I didn't change the script otherwise.

What's wrong ?

distance = math.sqrt(((lon - homelongitude) * 111.320 * math.cos(math.rad(lat)))^2 + ((lat - homelatitude) * 110.547)^2)

This is because the new text devices get a value "Hello world!" when they are first created. I changed the script to be robust against that, see original post. Basically you have to change your line 58 into

Code: Select all

prev_distance_str = string.match(otherdevices['Position ' .. user], '%(.*%)') or '(1000 km)'
prev_distance = tonumber(string.sub(prev_distance_str, 2,-5))

rpwessels wrote: Hello mvzut,

I adjusted the "Hello World" manual to "nil" and tried already your lines in my script, but i still get the same warning.

Also with the tips of G3rard i got the same warning in the log.

mvzut wrote: You say "long/latitude are correct". Do you mean of your house, or did you add print commands (e.g. print(lat .. ' ' .. lon')) to check if it reports your actual correct position? You're saying it does give the right address in the text devices? Is the distance between the brackets correct?

What command can I use to check the current position ?

In my position device I get the correct adress where my phones are, but it also says it's 6000km away from home.
Seems somehow my location settings of the raspberry pi are incorrect or so ?

I tried all the previous possible solutions, I added some print commands in the lua script and I can see my iphone gets tracked as expected, however line 55 keeps giving me an error:

Line 55 is:

        prev_distance_str = string.match(otherdevices['Position ' .. user], '%(.*%)') or '(1000 km)'

Tried changing it to otherdevices_svalues but no joy.

Thanks!
