hello,
i'm using DzVents scripts, i use to set some value with energy, text, or electricity devices (could be other).
i would like to change the label (name) of virtual devices depending of the contents of the scripts.
by exemple:
i'am using 2 virtuals devices to display a % and text to display
Code: Select all
Day_Pourcent_self_conso = domoticz.utils.round(Day_SelfConsumption_value / Day_Consumption_value * 100, 1) -- calcul of % with 1 decimal
domoticz.devices(65).updateText(tostring(Day_SelfConsumption_value).." Wh ,"..Day_Pourcent_self_conso.. "% of the day Consumption (" ..Day_Consumption_value..")") -- display the text within Text device
domoticz.devices(66).updatePercentage(Day_Pourcent_self_conso) -- display % within % device
i would like to change the name of the virtual device to with
domoticz.devices(65).updateName ("xxxx .. Day_Pourcent_self_conso .. " xxx") -- display % within % device name

Not with a native command but a lot is possible with the openURL command. Check this
Code: Select all
return {
on = { timer = { "every minute"}},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = "rename Device"
},
execute = function(dz)
test = dz.devices(1286) -- Change to your device idx
clockTime = os.date("%x %X")
newName= dz.utils.urlEncode("My new name: " .. clockTime)
test.updateText(clockTime)
url = dz.settings["Domoticz url"] .. "/json.htm?type=command¶m=renamedevice&idx=" .. test.id .."&name=" .. newName
dz.openURL( url)
end
}

Not sure what you mean with this question. dzVents ?, Lua ? domoticz API ?
- dzVents commands and syntaxis are very well documented in the
wiki
- Lua language syntaxis can be found here or here
- domoticz API / JSON can be found here
