Hi guys,

I have an easy question for the novice user, but i spend a week to get this working so please help me....
The simple thing is that i want to set a variable in the first LUA script to a certain number, lets say 1, then want to read it in the second script and set this variable to another number 2.
It sounds easy but i strangle with the correct notation.
below are parts of the scripts to get an idea:

first script:
if (devicechanged['Status alarm panel'] == 'On' and uservariable['alarm_status'] ~= '2') then
commandArray['Variable:alarm_status'] = tostring(2)
end

second script:
if (devicechanged['test'] == 'On' and uservariables['alarm_status'] == '2') then
commandArray['Variable:alarm_status']= tostring(5)
end

I have made an user variable "alarm_status" as an integer but get error messages like "attempt to index global 'uservariable' (a nil value)"
i have tried things like uservariable == alarm_status or alarm_variable ==2 or uservariable['alarm_variable'] == 2 but nothing works.

It will be much apriciated if someone could setup the basis code.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Can you start by changing "uservariable" to "uservariables" in the if-statement of your first script and then try again?

You are sending a string, but the variable is an integer...
Try commandArray['Variable:alarm_status'] = tonumber(2)

@mrf68: was a typo but thanks.
@BartdaMan, i have changed the script to:
event 1: and
event 2: this will do the trick, but to be honest i find it all quite devious.
It is of no influence if a change the uservariable to "string" or "integer" in setup/more options.

is there somewhere a complete overview of all domoticz LUA commands and their syntax?

Thanks both for your help.
