Domoticz

Hallo everyone!

Sinds 2 weeks i install Domoticz and love it!
Now everything is connected, its time to make my first automation script.

Becouse i dont like blocky, i would love te use DzVents, but i think i only have some problems with understanding it

What i would like to do, is change the lights when my PLEX server starts to play.
So i usdes an PLEX script to send the data to my Domoticz en ceated some user-variables. this works perfect:

-1: Plex-server offline
0: Client inactief
1: video afspelen
2: gepauzeerde video
3: gestopt video
11: Audio afspelen
12: Onderbroken audio
13: gestopt audio
21: Foto weergeven
22: Onderbroken diavoorstelling

Now i created a small script in DzVents:
There are no errors at all! but script is not working.

Please help me understanding DzVents.

Thxx in advance!!!

perhaps start with some logging to see if the script is being hit?


logging = true

bla
bla
bla

if (logging) then print("script is Triggered " ) end

Thx for quick response!

Nothing happend in the log files:
So i thought maybe Dzvents is not working, but with the test script from WIKI:

How do you update the variable ?
You defined the variable as integer but you check if IT is equal to a string.
Please tag your code with code tags, makes it much easier to check.

The variable is updated by Python script, bases on evenements happend in plex.
When i check this script with my uservariable is this correct.

But somehow i think that DzVents is not recognize: variables = {'PLEX STATUS [Chrome]'}

From: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/DzVents:_ ... 7B_..._.7D
So ... is your variable defined there ?

Correct, thats why i write my script this way.
But somehow its not working, and it seems like this script is not hit.

And what happens if you update the variable manually?

Thnx!! that worked...
So it must be something in the script: Plex.py.

Ik wil search there!! thnx again!

Specific for this reason the dzVents method to update variables added an extra call to the eventSystem to trigger an event as the domoticz standard update way does not do this.

And please don't use jpg for displaying code or logs here. Use code tags
