Do not trigger action if...

They are talking about updating the status of a virtual switch without triggering it the events linked to it.

If you use:


commandArray["UpdateDevice"] = "54|0|Off"

commandArray["UpdateDevice"] = "54|1|On"

where 54 = IDx of the switch
where 0 is the N value
where "Off" is the S value

It should update the status of the switch without triggering any events.

This is quite interesting. I'll add a silent argument to the switchOn() and switchOff() methods:

Code: Select all

myDevice.switchOn(true) -- will not trigger events

In the meantime you can do this:

Code: Select all

mySwitch.update(0, 'Off') 
mySwitch.update(1, 'On') 

Do NOT fiddle directly with commandArrays in dzVents as it most certainly will give you nasty side effects! Always use the api (domoticz.sendCommand() or device.update())

Will there be the same option with domoticz.devices('Security Panel').armAway()
