Hello,

Quick question. I am very new to LUA and dzVents. I have a simple script generating a classic nil value error but I just cannot get why I have this error ...

Basically, when my squeezebox is playing, it switches on a sonoff connected to my subwoofer.

Script :

Code: Select all

return {

      active = true, -- set to false to disable this script

        on = {
        devices = {
            -- scripts is executed if the device that was updated matches with one of these triggers
            368, -- id Squeezebox
        },

    },
  
    execute = function(domoticz, device)
        
        local caisson = domoticz.devices(527) -- sonoff caisson
        local musique = domoticz.devices('Squeezebox')
        
        if (device.state == 'Off') then
            caisson.switchOff()
        elseif (device.state == 'Stopped') then
            caisson.switchOff().after_min(10)
            musique.switchOff().after_min(10)
        else
            caisson.switchOn()
        
        end
    end
}

switchOn works fine.
switchOff too

From the log :

Code: Select all

Any idea would be really appreciated

Please check http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 59&t=18674 which has the info you need.
Hint: you are using the old dzVents manual, some things have changed.
Your answer is in the part about migrating to the new version.

Well, first thanks for taking the time to answer me.
Then thanks for spotting it out

I had printed the doc a month and a half ago cause I find it easier to read ... I forgot the update issue ^^

I have updated my script. I did not checked yet if it is working but I will and get back to you.

For those interested, the issue was indeed in the timed command which has to be updated with :

caisson.switchOff().afterMin(10)

attempt to call field 'after_min' (a nil value)

attempt to call field 'after_min' (a nil value)
