LUA Script not running, at all

[Eloque]

I am trying to make a few simple lua scripts, but so far, I can't even get the simplest to run.
I've followed the instructions of renaming the demo scripts, but they never ever seem to trigger.

cat script_time_test.lua

Code: Select all

print('this will end up in the domoticz log')

and cat script_device_light.lua

Code: Select all

print('Light Test One')

commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['Trap/Gang Licht'] == 'Off' then
        commandArray['Trap/Gang Licht']='On'
end
return commandArray

Both never seem to run, nothing shows in the logs, no devices change state, nothing. Is there something I am missing?

[Holland]

Are these placed in the directory? ; ~/domoticz/scripts/lua

[Eloque]

Yes. Same place as the demo scripts were.

[jannl]

Not sure if the '/' is allowed in the name of a switch

[NickHead]

Try this:

My scripts are bracketed different.

May work, I am not an expert.

Code: Select all

print('Light Test One')

commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['Trap/Gang Licht'] == 'Off') then
        commandArray[1]={['Trap/Gang Licht']='On'}
end
return commandArray

[Eloque]

Trying that now. I'd be happy if even the log line appears

[paulvha]

does the script have the right permission?

[Eloque]

Nope. Nothing. The scripts don't seem to get executed at all.

What permission should they have? I'll try chmod'ing them to 777 to try just in case.

When you create the file script_time_test.lua domoticz expects a device called test to exist. The file name system works like this:
script_time_devicename.lua

This by the way will execute the script every minute. If you want to execute the script on every change then rename the script to:
script_device_devicename.lua

Check your settings/other. Probably the event system is disabled.

[NickHead]

Mine was called device_script_test.lua and i haven't got a switch called test.

It was to my belief that any script other than demo was run, the command being extracted
with the "devicechanged" section and acted upon.

Hence why I never included a filename.

As long as the device changed name is equal to the switch name ( as you said ) the script should act
accordingly.

As previously said:

Check Setup-Settings-Other, at the bottom is a Script-Enable/Disable Radio Button

[Eloque]

NickHead, I found the setting, it was not disabled, blocky scripts are working btw.
I tried the old standby of turning it off and on again, and this showed up in the log;

Code: Select all

2016-02-21 17:52:27.160  EventSystem: Stopped...
2016-02-21 17:52:27.168  Active notification subsystems: (0/8)

2016-02-21 17:52:47.661  (RFXCOM) Temp + Humidity (Sensor Woonkamer)

And the scripts don't trigger. I'll try renaming the file next.

[NickHead]

MMM Strange.

I am going to leave it with you for now as I have to go to work.

I will look back in later.

Are you on the latest beta?
if so, check the forum...

[niceandeasy]

Indeed. I also discovered a bug in my system. Some things still work, some don't. Luckily, my lights are controlled by curl commands.
My time script gets triggered according to the log but it does not do anything.
(running newest beta)

But, now Blocky scripts don't work at all Also, I can't set my SmartWares radiators to a temp, the devices don't show up. I can do it manually via the webinterface, but not via scripts.
