[Solved] LUA script (to the security panel) -> dzVents script is working well

[McJohn]

Hello,

We have a Blockly script for a one button Neo keyfob (it sends only an “On” command.)
The script is: If Keyfob=On and Var Alarm=Off
Set Var Alarm=On

That script is working perfect and every time when we push the button at the key fob it toggles the Variable Alarm from On to Off and Vice versa. (And a Virtual Device is also listening working well with that Variable, it goes on and off with a Blockly script.)


BUT:

Than we made the Lua script below to change the Domoticz Security Panel.
Unfortunately then the Variable “Alarm” (of the Blockly script above) comes in a loop and several times in a row the Domticz security panel displays Armed and Disarmed (see log below).

How is it possible that the Lua script which has only to READ the Variable “Alarm” also changes the Variable? (we saw it automatically changing serval times in the Variable window)
(The only script that may change this Variable “Alarm” is the Blockly script above with the keyfob!

What’s going wrong here?
Thanks for there help and kind regards,
John


commandArray = {}
if (uservariables["Alarm"] == 'On') then
commandArray['Domoticz Security Panel'] = 'Arm Away'
print('### SecPanel: status changed to ' .. globalvariables['Security'])
end
if (uservariables["Alarm"] == 'Off') then
commandArray['Domoticz Security Panel'] = 'Disarm'
print('### SecPanel: status changed to ' .. globalvariables['Security'])
end
return commandArray

[waaren]

We have a Blockly script for a one button Neo keyfob (it sends only an “On” command.)
The script is: If Keyfob=On and Var Alarm=Off
Set Var Alarm=On
...
Than we made the Lua script below to change the Domoticz Security Panel.
Unfortunately then the Variable “Alarm” (of the Blockly script above) comes in a loop and several times in a row the Domoticz security panel displays Armed and Disarmed (see log below).

I only see it being Disarmed

How is it possible that the Lua script which has only to READ the Variable “Alarm” also changes the Variable? (we saw it automatically changing serval times in the Variable window)
(The only script that may change this Variable “Alarm” is the Blockly script above with the keyfob!

What’s going wrong here?

Code: Select all

.......

Tried to reproduce with dzVents script.

Code: Select all

-- Alarm
return { 
        on      =   {   variables   = { "Alarm" }},
                        
        logging =   {   level       =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                        marker      =   "Alarm" },
    
    execute = function(dz, item )
        local content = item.value
        local securityPanel = dz.devices(1084)
        
        dz.log(item.name .. ", value: " .. item.value,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        if content == "Off" then
            securityPanel.disarm().checkFirst()
        elseif content == "On" then
            securityPanel.armHome().checkFirst()
        else
            securityPanel.armAway().checkFirst()
        end
    end
}

But this works as expected and nothing happens to the uservariable "Alarm".
Can you confirm that the Lua script is saved as to be triggered by UserVariable and not by "All" ?

[McJohn]

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

The security panel switches ~ 6 times from "disarmed" to "arm away" and indeed it's strange we don't see armed sessions into the log.

- We tried your dzVents script but then nothing happened with the Domoticz security panel.
Or did we have to change the panel name /ID elsewhere in your script?

We looked also to the different Trigger options for our LUA Security Panel script;
- It was saved by "All". We tried it with save by "UserVariabele", then nothing happened anymore with the SecurityPanel when we push the button.
(That's also strange because it has indeed only to listen to a a Variable change)

- Then we made a new LUA script with a Virtual Device (which gets on and off with the Keyfob-Variable script).
We tried this script with trigger "All" and only for "Device" but this difference doesn't matter:
After a push at the key fob, the Security panel says spontaneous Armed, Disarmed, Armed, Disarmed, Armed, Disarmed, Armed, Disarmed, Armed, Disarmed, etc...

It seems a simple question but the solution is very complex..
Thanks for the help!

- We tried your dzVents script but then nothing happened with the Domoticz security panel.
Or did we have to change the panel name /ID elsewhere in your script?

Yes, you have to change the number 1084 to the number of your security device. Sorry if that was not clear

We looked also to the different Trigger options for our LUA Security Panel script;
- It was saved by "All". We tried it with save by "UserVariabele", then nothing happened anymore with the SecurityPanel when we push the button.
(That's also strange because it has indeed only to listen to a a Variable change)

.......

also have a look here where you will see that a change to a uservariable by a Lua script or Blockly does not trigger an event. dzVents worked around that restriction by implementing a json API call behind the scenes when a uservariable needs to be updated.

[McJohn]

Thanks again for your fast help.

This is strange:

Code: Select all

also have a look here  where you will see that a change to a uservariable by a Lua script or Blockly does not trigger an event. 

In our case the Security Panel event with Lua, triggers (to much) more than 12 times when the user variable changes with another Blockly script!

We found the Lua Security Panel script here:
https://nl.hardware.info/reviews/7925/5 ... tschakelen

Even with a Dummy device (which goes perfectly On and Off with the other Keyfob Variable Blockly) in our case the Security Panel goes ~ 12 times Armed and Disarmed.
Why won’t this be work in our situation?

We changed the ID number in your dzVents script from 1084 to 148702.
But nothing happened. It this the only change or do we have also change a name?
What kind is your dzVents script Trigger? All, Device or User Variable? (We now use All)

Thanks for your help!

Edit: when we save your dzVents script with trigger All, later on it's automaticly changed to "Device" and every time when we saved it into another type after a refresh it's changed to "Device" again.

Edit: when we save your dzVents script with trigger All, later on it's automaticly changed to "Device" and every time when we saved it into another type after a refresh it's changed to "Device" again.

A dzVents script is not managed in this way. The on = section does determine how the script will be triggered.
I doubt that the number you use for the security panel is correct. Did you got that number from the http://DOMOTICZ_IP:DOMOTICZ_PORT/#/Devices ?

Thanks for the explanation.

The ID of the security panel is indeed 148702.
See enclosed screendump.

Screen Shot 2018-10-15 at 12.51.26.png (44.48 KiB) Viewed 3014 times

And this is your script:

-- Alarm
return {
on = { variables = { "Alarm" }},

logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = "Alarm" },

execute = function(dz, item )
local content = item.value
local securityPanel = dz.devices(148702)

dz.log(item.name .. ", value: " .. item.value,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
if content == "Off" then
securityPanel.disarm().checkFirst()
elseif content == "On" then
securityPanel.armHome().checkFirst()
else
securityPanel.armAway().checkFirst()
end
end
}

And below is the BlocklyOn of the Variable:

Thanks for the explanation.

The ID of the security panel is indeed 148702.
See enclosed screendump.

From what I see on your screenshot the id = 1

[McJohn]

Sorry sorry for the wrong number. Changed it to 1 but unfortunately no result

-- Alarm
return {
on = { variables = { "Alarm" }},

logging = { level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = "Alarm" },

execute = function(dz, item )
local content = item.value
local securityPanel = dz.devices(1)

dz.log(item.name .. ", value: " .. item.value,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
if content == "Off" then
securityPanel.disarm().checkFirst()
elseif content == "On" then
securityPanel.armHome().checkFirst()
else
securityPanel.armAway().checkFirst()
end
end
}

[waaren]

Sorry sorry for the wrong number. Changed it to 1 but unfortunately no result

Can you please try to change the value of the uservariable using the GUI ?
As explained in one of my earlier replies the change of the uservariable using Blockly or Lua will not trigger an event (in this case the dzVents script)

[McJohn]

Thanks for your patience!
Indeed when we change the variable via the #/UserVariables window from Off to On, the Security Panel jumps to Armed Home!

So, "we" have 2 options now:

- Change your script from a variable to a dummy device: (SecurityOn) in my case. That device works perfectly now with the Variable.
I didn't know if a change of a Device also don't trigger a Blockly or Lua event?

- Or change your script with the Variable Toggle of the Keyfob included (more complex I think).

Could you help us with the right script?

(And Armed Away is enough for us).

Thanks in advance!

[waaren]

Could you help us with the right script?
(And Armed Away is enough for us).

I hope I have the right names. If not please make sure you adjust the script accordingly

It is important that you disable the blockly and your Lua script before enabling this one. If not you might get yourself in a similar loop.
Script is triggered by the Keyfob and set the security panel, uservariable "Alarm" and device "SecurityOn" accordingly

Code: Select all

-- Alarm

return { 
        on      =   {   devices   = { "Keyfob" }},
                        
        logging =   {   level       =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                        marker      =   "Alarm" },

Thank you so much for your work!

I set all the Events at de-activated.
Made a new event with dzVents.
Copy/paste your new script (checked all the names).
Saved it.
Pushed the keyfob button (it sends only an On command).
But...
Unfortunately nothing happened; no change of the Variable "Alarm" or the Dummy device AlarmOn, or the Security Panel.
Sorry..
Below the errors in the log.
Thanks!

Pushed the keyfob button (it sends only an On command).
Unfortunately nothing happened; no change of the Variable "Alarm" or the Dummy device AlarmOn, or the Security Panel.

Part of the forum control polluted the code. (no character should be there after the last } I fixed it in my previous post. Can you please try again ?

[McJohn]

Thanks for the hint! That did the trick! The Security Panel goes on , Dummy Device "SecurityOn" goes on and Variable "Alarm" says On.

But; after the next push at the button the Panel (and the others) didn't goes off..

After a minute (when I write this text) suddenly all the 3 items goes off....
See the log below.

Why is there a delay of 1 minute?

Edit: it goes automatically off after 1 minute (without a push of the botton)...

I think I "know" what the problem is:

Domoticz (or the Z-Stick) automatically switches off the keyfob after 1 minute.
And your script response on that (and won't also fire anymore when the keyfob is in "on" status to Trigger disarmed.

Could you change your script that it only fires (Armed and Disarmed) with the Keyfob On command
(like my simple BLockly to Variable does)

Thanks for all your effort!

[waaren]

Thanks for the hint! That did the trick! The Security Panel goes on , Dummy Device "SecurityOn" goes on and Variable "Alarm" says On.
Edit: it goes automatically off after 1 minute (without a push of the botton)...

I don't know the Keyfob device but I suspect it switch to Off automatic (without being pressed) after 1 minute. I can modify the script in such a way that the device, uservar, and security panel will only toggle between On and Off if you push the Keyfob (switch it on) and ignore the automatic Off.
Is that what you want ?
{EDIT]

[McJohn]

Yep! See my earlier post; as the simple Blocky Variable Alarm Toggles (If Keyfob = On and Var Alarm = On, Set Var Alarm Off) (and vice versa).

This should do it .

Code: Select all

-- Alarm

return { 
        on      =   {   devices   = { "Keyfob" }},
                        
        logging =   {   level       =   domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                        marker      =   "Alarm" },
    
    execute = function(dz, item )
    
        local KeyfobState    = item.state
        local alarmVar       = dz.variables("Alarm")
        local securitySwitch = dz.devices("SecurityOn")
        local securityPanel = dz.devices(1)
        
        dz.log(item.name .. ", state: " .. item.state,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        
        if KeyfobState == "On" and alarmVar.value == "On"  then
            securityPanel.disarm().checkFirst()
            securitySwitch.switchOff().checkFirst().silent()  
            alarmVar.set("Off").silent()
        elseif KeyfobState == "On"  then
            securityPanel.armAway().checkFirst()
            securitySwitch.switchOn().checkFirst().silent()  
            alarmVar.set("On").silent()
        end
    end
}

[McJohn]

YES! It's working! Perfectly!

Now we have a simple alarm system for simple users with the push of 1 button!

Thank you so much for all your patience, time and work!
