Hi guys,

I just started my first LUA script and I love it !

But I've got 1 question (for the moment!) : I'd like to create a script with all my PIR devices and if one of them is active so a dummy switch will be active. But I've got a lot of PIR devices names PIR_kitchen, PIR_garage,... and I like to know if in a LUA script you can call a group like PIR instead of all individual PIR devices, hope I'm understandable ^^

For the moment I've got :

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if (devicechanged['PIR_kitchen'] == 'On' ) or (devicechanged['PIR_garage'] == 'On' ) then 
        commandArray['Capteurs']='On'
end
if (devicechanged['PIR_kitchen'] == 'Off' ) or (devicechanged['PIR_garage'] == 'Off' ) then
        commandArray['Capteurs']='Off'
end
return commandArray

Thanks a lot

This is an example how to test for a devicename starting with "PIR":

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

for chgdev, chgsts in pairs(devicechanged) do
	if string.sub(chgdev, 1, 3) == "PIR" then
		-- do what you want when any device starting with pir changed status
		print(" Device:".. chgdev.." changed to:"..chgsts)
	end
end

return commandArray
