Domoticz

Hi All,

Question, I want change 1 hardware device for my Milight bulbs. I have all my lights in global_data file to create nice names.
I want test the new hardware, so idea is to create a second global_data in dzVent Gui. Disable the current one and enable the second.

Only what I change there is the IDX for the bulbs. Then all scripts and everything will work.

When the new hardware is failing, I disable the global_data and enable the (current working) one again.

Will this work, or does Domoticz dzVent system will be in conflict, or problems because of 2 global_data files?

If you keep your current global_data.lua in the scripts directory dzVents will process it. A way to temporarily disable the current one is to rename it to global_data.disabled; with this extension, dzVents will not process it.

thanks. So if im right. I rename it on command line.

cp global_data.disabled global_data
change the IDX in global_data
when go wrong, delete running want and rename the disabled one back.
restart Domoticz

disable global_data in webgui dzvent event system
then create new one

This will work. Did the test

My global_data is generated by event system
