Logic with user variables [Solved]

[Solderbro]

Third day on wondering, why does the domoticz variable toggled between 0 or 1 never match here?

Filled the script with comments to see in the log what happens, slightly 0 or 1 is never true.

Code: Select all

The idea is to put the state from the domoticz variable into the local and react from it.

Code: Select all

    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        local LOG_LEVEL = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG -- Script default log level.
        local hell = 15 -- lux level for darkness
        local motion = item.active
        local dark = domoticz.devices('Kue PIR Lux').lux <= hell
        local light = domoticz.devices('Kue LED RGB')
        local pir = domoticz.devices('Kue PIR Sensor')
        local color = domoticz.devices('Kue RGBW Color')
        local nachtlicht = domoticz.variables("Nachtlicht").state
        local log = domoticz.log
        
        if motion and dark then
            print('Bewegung erkannt')
            
                if nachtlicht == "0" then
                print('Taglicht einschalten')
                light.dimTo(90)
                color.setHex(0xF5,0xFF,0xFA)
                
            elseif nachtlicht == "1" then
                print('Nachtlicht einschalten')
                light.dimTo(50)
                color.setHex(0xFF,0xDE,0xAD)
                
            end
            print('Abschaltbefehl einleiten')
            light.switchOff().afterSec(300)
        end
    end
}

Do a print motion and print dark so you can see the status of both...

I would rather print nachtlicht . There is no state attribute.

You should use

Code: Select all

local nachtlicht = domoticz.variables("Nachtlicht").value

Not sure if you'll get an integer or a string. You could print(type(nachtlicht)) to adjust your tests.

Third day on wondering, why does the domoticz variable toggled between 0 or 1 never match here?

[EDIT as already answered by @boum ]
Please have a look at the dzVents wiki You will read there that state is not an attribute of the uservariable object. If you need to work with the value of a uservariable use the attribute value and please be aware you use the right type (string, integer, float, date or time ) when asking the state "1" is not equal to 1.

Yes that shed light to the problem.

An integer need .value and a direct compare of the number without any quotes.

if nachtlicht.value == 0 then
print('Taglicht einschalten')
