Is it possible to do something like this in global_data.lua:

globalvariablename = { initial = domoticz.variables('user_variable_name').value }

I tried this but it doesn't seem to work.

What's the best way to initialise globalData values from user variables?

I'd prefer not to have to put the values directly in global_data.lua as (a) they could be sensitive - like passwords and (b) it's easier to update and edit user variables through the GUI.

Thanks

Not possible as the domoticz object is not available in that part of global_data.lua. But what is your usecase if you already have this value in a uservariable ?

Initialise in a helper function and pass the domoticz object to that helper function.

define helper function in global_data.lua

Code: Select all

	helpers =   {
					mySecretValue = function(dz, var)
						return var.value
					end,
                }

and call with:

Code: Select all

dz.log(dz.helpers.mySecretValue(dz, dz.variables('password')),dz.LOG_FORCE)
