can you try this? It does show you the actual state and nValue and check for the states as string

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        devices    = {642} -- dz_plex_player IDX number plex media player device
    },

        logging = {    level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
                    marker = 'plexlivingroom',
    },
    
    execute = function(domoticz, plexmedia)

        local playingtest = domoticz.devices(301) -- Dummy test switch playing
        local pausedtest = domoticz.devices(303) -- Dummy test switch paused

        domoticz.log('plexmedia state: ' .. (plexmedia.state or ' no State?'), domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        domoticz.log('plexmedia nvalue: ' .. plexmedia.nValue, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
        
        -- when Plex is playing switch on device
        if (plexmedia.state == '7' ) then
        --if (plexmedia.state == 'playing') then
        --if (plexmedia.nValue == 7) then
            playingtest.switchOn()
        
        -- when Plex paused switch on device    
        elseif (plexmedia.state == '2' ) then
        --elseif (plexmedia.state == 'paused') then
        --elseif (plexmedia.nValue == 2) then
            pausedtest.switchOn()    
        end
    end
}

Thanks for your reaction.
Strange, I played something in plex and paused but nothing happens in the log. The device is updated by the 'Plex status script'.

The posted Plex status script uses the option silent() if you have not removed that it will not trigger any subsequent scripts.
