dzVents - action delay doesn't seem to work for kodi commands

[jake]

Is it possible that the '.after_sec(20) is not supported for all actions?

This code runs fine

Code: Select all

kodidevice.devices.kodiPlay()

but this code doesn't

Code: Select all

kodidevice.devices.kodiPlay().after_sec(5)

and gives the following error in the log

Code: Select all

Ah, this is weird. kodidevice.devices should not work at all. If kodidevice is a 'device' then that object doesn't have a devices attribute. I'd remove the .devices part. Can you try that?

Sorry for the confusion, I actually forgot to take the 'device' out of the code, after I did some other trials (I thought that maybe the IF statement wasn't valid anymore, therefore the kodidevice variable was not available. But, never mind).
The error log is for the code without 'device':

Code: Select all

--kodidevice.kodiPlay().after_sec(5)

My script should do the following:

Detect that Kodi device plays Audio or Video
Put kodi player on pause when receiver is still 'off'
send 'on' signal to receiver
wait 5 seconds and put kodi in play again

For testing purposes I tried to to trigger on kodidevice.state == 'Paused' and there put the code for 5 seconds delay to start playing, but that makes no difference

I did 2 more tests:
1: calling a function with a .after_sec(x) delay, but no success: an error in the log
2: Lightswitch with switchOn().after_sec(5) which worked as expected with a delay of 5 seconds.

Maybe it's a Domoticz issue. dzVents just sends standard Domoticz commands.
