using one input (IDX) for a counter and flow sensor

[HFman]

I am quite new in LUA scripts... end my feeling it most be very easy but couldn't figure out yet how to do it.

Issue is as follow :

For electric we have an instant and total counter, but not for gas and water. So my "dream" is to have this also for gas and water, but this seems complicated.

So as in between solution, would like to keep the normal gas and water counter, and add the flow sensor as a seperated sensor.
So how to use 1 IDX 2 times ?

After hours and hours, complex scripts to easy ones... end of with an easy one.. but still not working.. :

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if devicechanged['Water'] then
	
	WaterF1 = otherdevices_svalues['Water']

commandArray['UpdateDevice'] = 207,0, ..WaterFl

end
return commandArray

Ending up with :

Error: EventSystem: in WaterF3: [string "commandArray = {} ..."]:7: unexpected symbol near '..'

Where is my misstake.. ?

commandArray['UpdateDevice'] = 207,0, ..WaterFl

Where did you find this syntax?

The correct syntax for updatedevice is:

Code: Select all

commandArray['UpdateDevice'] = '207|0|' ..WaterFl

Hope you get it working...

Finally.. Thanks man !

I tried this one before, but didn't work.. but bassed on your reply found out that the the input are 2 value's which I first need to split.
After that.. It works perfect !! Extremely happy !

Now can see how effecient my Hot water heating is (shower etc.) and what the impact is after adding a Heat exchanger .
