Ciao,

Is there a way to use wildards in sensors/Switches name in scripts?

I have 4 PIR sensors all names PIR_ and a blocky script that take action base don security level
actually I have to add few IF PIR_Sala = ON OR PIR_Camera = on .... etc etc.

but I was wondering if it's possibile to use something like.... if PIR_* = ON Then....

I tried in LUA, but of course it wasn't succesful

ciao
M

Absolutely - basically use substring to only compare the characters you want to, so for the code below, only when the devicechanged starts with PIR_ will the if block be executed:

Code: Select all

tc=next(devicechanged)
v=tostring(tc)
if (v:sub(1,4) == 'PIR_') then
    -- do something
end
