After about 2 months I decided to update to the latest beta (v3.9034). Everything works fine except my dzVents weather scripts that contain "otherdevices_temperature" shows the following error:

2018-03-13 22:15:00.548 dzVents: Info: ------ Start external script: weather_wu.lua:, trigger: function
2018-03-13 22:15:00.548 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): An error occured when calling event handler weather_wu
2018-03-13 22:15:00.548 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): /opt/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/scripts/weather_wu.lua:63: attempt to index global 'otherdevices_temperature' (a nil value)
2018-03-13 22:15:00.549 dzVents: Info: ------ Finished weather_wu.lua

Code snippet:

Code: Select all

    execute = function(domoticz)
        
      	local function CelciusToFarenheit(C)
	   return (C * (9/5)) + 32
	end

	Outside_Temp_Hum = 'Temperatuur Tuin'
        WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&tempf=" .. string.format("%3.1f", CelciusToFarenheit(otherdevices_temperature[Outside_Temp_Hum]))
	WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&humidity=" .. otherdevices_humidity[Outside_Temp_Hum]
	WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&dewptf=" .. string.format("%3.1f", CelciusToFarenheit(otherdevices_dewpoint[Outside_Temp_Hum]))

This used to work fine and besides upgrading I did not change the script. otherdevices_humidity and otherdevices_dewpoint don't have this issue.

Anybody else seeing this otherdevices_temperature issue?

Happy to help but can you please update / edit your post with the complete script ? Reason is that I do not recognize otherdevices_temperature as being standard lua or dzVents so I expect that they are defined elsewhere in the script.

otherdevices_temperature is part of the Domoticz Events and not defined in my script.
See: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Events

OK.

if your change your WU_URL = WU_URL .. lines to the dzVents syntax this part of your script should work again.

Code: Select all

WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&tempf=" .. string.format("%3.1f", CelciusToFarenheit(domoticz.devices(Outside_Temp_Hum).temperature))
WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&humidity=" .. domoticz.devices(Outside_Temp_Hum).humidity
WU_URL = WU_URL .. "&dewptf=" .. string.format("%3.1f", CelciusToFarenheit(domoticz.devices(Outside_Temp_Hum).dewPoint))

otherdevices_* is not available (and certainly not needed) in dzVents scripts.

@waaren
Thanks for the port. I will try this and report the results to this topic later this week. I realize I should review my scripts and change the API to dzVents API where applicable.

@dannyblue
Apparantly this must have changed then in the last 2 months. It works fine in beta V3.8806 that I installed last January:

2018-03-14 17:45:00.236 dzVents: Info: ------ Start external script: weather_wu.lua:, trigger: function
2018-03-14 17:45:00.251 dzVents: Info: ------ Finished weather_wu.lua

However, I alsno noticed that a "make install" does not copy/install the domoticz/dzVents directory to the installation tree so I might have used an even older version of dzVents.

Yup. It was removed in 2.4.0. It was silly that it was there in the first place. It has no place in dzVents.

Works great with the dzVents API.

Thanks!
