Trying to use a globalData value in the active part of a dzvents script to determine whether to run it or not, like this:

Code: Select all

return {

	active = function(domoticz)
			return (domoticz.globalData.variablename ~= '')
	end,
	on = ...

This just errors - looks like it doesn't recognise globalData within the active section:

Code: Select all

2019-04-13 22:16:00.503 Error: EventSystem: in /home/pi/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/dzVents/scripts/test.lua:4: attempt to index field 'globalData' (a nil value)

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

Yes. define the variable in the helpers = section of the global_data script and refer to it like

Code: Select all

return {

	active = function(domoticz)
			return (domoticz.helpers.variablename ~= '')
	end,
	on = ...
