hello
is there a command to differentiate a manual action from the dashboard and an action commanded by a script?
I want to update the state of a shutter which can be ordered by dz via the dashboard and another independent system. the action via dz acts on the third-party system and reverses the dz command (impulse command)
I just want to use the silent () command in the exclusive case of an order initiated by the third system without sending a new command to the third system.
the third-party system updates to a push on button called '$impulsion volet douche'
the dasboard blind command is named 'volet douche'
i test lastupdate 'volet douche' but don't work correctly in this case
-if the shutter is activated directly by the third-party system, update of the corresponding device, without the command via the return of the third-party system $ impulse ...
- if the shutter is controlled by dz, no action the device has already changed position via the dashboard
how to differentiate a manual action from the dashboard and an action controlled by a script? [Solved]

Re: how to differentiate a manual action from the dashboard and an action controlled by a script?
With current domoticz this can only be done using dummy switch(es) which trigger a script. The script can keep an administration in (global) persistent data and control the real switch based on the evaluation of the variable from the persistent data.
@gizmocuz implemented the user field for some device types in recent beta's in the LightingLog table but that system cannot be used by dzVents yet. dzVents has no direct access to this information and the table is not updated on the same moment the device update is passed to the event system.
It is on the wishlist

Debian buster, bullseye on RPI-4, Intel NUC.
dz Beta, Z-Wave, RFLink, RFXtrx433e, P1, Youless, Hue, Yeelight, Xiaomi, MQTT
