Hi all,
New to this, and am trying a simple (or so I thought ) script.
I have a distance sensor in a oil tank, and decided to convert this into volume in Domoticz, rather than the sensor.
I have created a dummy holder for this value.
the script I have is
which executes, but doesn't give me a value into OilTankLitres.
I have tried to put OilTankLitres.value, which isn't valid.
I'm sure it is a simple answer to this, but search as I might, I can't find references to set a value .
the log output is
2018-03-27 15:10:11.735 dzVents: Info: Handling events for: "OilTankLevel", value: "84.0"
2018-03-27 15:10:11.735 dzVents: Info: ------ Start internal script: OilVolume: Device: "OilTankLevel (MySensorsSerial)", Index: 1
2018-03-27 15:10:11.735 dzVents: Info: Oil Tank Volume Calculated OilTankLevel was calculated
2018-03-27 15:10:11.735 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): An error occured when calling event handler OilVolume
2018-03-27 15:10:11.735 dzVents: Error (2.4.1): ...ticz/var/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts/OilVolume.lua:10: attempt to index global 'OilTankLitres' (a nil value)
2018-03-27 15:10:11.735 dzVents: Info: ------ Finished OilVolume
Where am I going wrong please?
Eventually Sorted it, if any one wants to Know, it is as below.
