Domoticz

McJohn wrote: ↑Sunday 14 October 2018 21:47 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).

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?

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)

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.

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

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)

securityPanel.disarm().checkFirst()
elseif content == "On" then
securityPanel.armHome().checkFirst()

(And Armed Away is enough for us).

-- 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" then
            securityPanel.disarm().checkFirst()
            securitySwitch.switchOff().checkFirst().silent()         -- the .silent() ensure that no follow up event will be triggered
        else 
            securityPanel.armAway().checkFirst()
            securitySwitch.switchOn().checkFirst().silent()          -- just remove .silent() if you don't need it
        end
        alarmVar.set(KeyfobState).silent()
    end
}

McJohn wrote: ↑Monday 15 October 2018 19:52 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.

McJohn wrote: ↑Monday 15 October 2018 21:27 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)...

McJohn wrote: ↑Monday 15 October 2018 22:13 I think I "know" what the problem is:
Domoticz (or the Z-Stick) automatically switches off the keyfob after 1 minute.
Could you change your script that it only fires (Armed and Disarmed) with the Keyfob On command

-- 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
