Hi,
My Hardware: RasPi3b with V4.10241 with MQTT client Gateway and a lot of ESP8266 modules.

I created two virtual dimmers. One as Dummy by 'hardware-Create Virtual Sensor' type=Light/Switch named test1 and the other as Virtual by 'Add Manual Light/Switch Device' type=Lightning2 named test2. If I click on the slider the percentage changes as expected but what I see in the log puzzles me.

The first generates these 2 lines:
2018-12-11 02:34:13.548 (Virtual) Light/Switch (test1)
2018-12-11 02:34:13.541 Status: User: Admin initiated a switch command (751/test1/Set Level)

the second generates these 2 lines:
2018-12-11 02:34:17.931 (Virtual) Lighting 2 (test2)
2018-12-11 02:34:17.924 Status: User: Admin initiated a switch command (752/test2/Set Level)

What I expected to be a variable or a parameter is displayed as Set Level, not the percentage from the slider.

I want to sent the percentage value of the slider with an ON Action/Off Action to a ESP8266 with ESPEasy Firmware. The Action I use should be something like this:
On Action: http://192.168.178.112/control?cmd=EXTPWM,105,Set_Level, where Set_Level should be the numeric value of the slider.

How can I use the value of 'Set Level' in a Action?

Probably only using a script triggered by the device change.
Then you could also choose between HTTP and MQTT for sending the information

waaren thanx for your reaction.

Documentation on the "Set Level" variable is very fuzzy.

I have been looking at scripts, but at the moment I cannot figure out how to implement this..
I am looking for a very simple script which could sent a http command line like if it was an On/Off Action.
I can think of something simple like this:

commandArray = {}
ESPEasy_ip = '192.168.178.112'
cmd = 'curl "http://' .. ESPEasy_ip .. '/control?cmd=EXTPWM,105,' .. Set Level .. '"'
os.execute(cmd)
return commandArray

This gives Error: EventSystem: in ESPEasy: [string "commandArray = {}..."]:3: syntax error near '..'

edit:

I can manipulate the script so the scripterror disappears but then the next error is:
2018-12-11 13:58:48.336 Error: SQLHelper: Error script not found '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/ESPEasy'

I saved the script as ESPEasy and called it with On Action: script://ESPEasy.

It looks like an Action command is not the way to solve this.

I found a solution with the "LUA-device" example script that I changed a bit

Code: Select all

ESPEasy_ip = '192.168.178.40'  

commandArray = {}

for deviceName,deviceValue in pairs(devicechanged) do          -- loop through all the changed devices
    if (deviceName=='test1') then          -- my dimmer device
        local a = (tostring(deviceValue))   -- Set Level: nn% / On / Off

        if a == "On" or a == 'Off' then      -- if no number a must be 0
            a = 0
        end
        
        local percentage = (tonumber(string.match(a,'%d[%d]*')))        -- extracts number from string 
        cmd = 'curl "http://'..ESPEasy_ip..'/control?cmd=EXTGPIO,100,'..percentage..'"' -- send to ESP
        os.execute(cmd)
    end
end

return commandArray

Maybe? a bit late, but thank you very much it works like a charm
