dzVents global variables

[Inso]

Hi,

my lua script had some IP adresses as local variables, f.e.

Code: Select all

local IPR1 = {'192.168.178.44', '192.168.178.49', '192.168.178.50', '192.168.178.48'}
PORT = '55443'
       for n, IP in pairs(IPR1) do
               runcommandoff = "sudo echo -ne '{\"id\":1,\"method\":\"set_scene\", \"params\":[\"cf\",4,1,\"500,1,16711680,1,    900000,7,0,0, 900000,2,1700,1, 900000,2,1700,100 \"]}\\r\\n' | nc -w1 " ..IP.." " ..PORT.."&";;     os.execute(runcommandoff);

On dzVents, within the execute function, it also works fine. Now i´d like to set them as global variables, as they are not changed and used often. Seems they are recognized as floating numbers, I found no way to get 'em to work the same way as in the execute function.

Read the documentation about global helper functions. You can use it also for other stuff. In your global_data.lua add this:

Code: Select all

return {
	helpers = {
		IPR1 = {'192.168.178.44', '192.168.178.49', '192.168.178.50', '192.168.178.48'}
	}
}

In another script you can use it like this:

Code: Select all

print(domoticz.helpers.IPR1[1]) -- will print 192.168.178.44
