thisUpdate? (as opposed to lastUpdate)
Posted: Tuesday 02 June 2020 13:55
A question: inside dzvents' execute( dz, item) where item is a device, the value for device.lastUpdate seems to be that of the previous change to the device. Is it possible to retrieve from inside this trigger the value that lastUpdate will have after the device has changed? i.e. sort of a "thisUpdate"? I'm trying to see in a customEvent trigger if the device has changed since the customEvent was emitted and I'm trying to use the lastUpdate value for this. But the lastUpdate value I pass with the customEvent is always different than that which is on the device when I get the customEvent trigger.
My (dzvents) code so far:
Output from the log (had to filter all other devices' output out):
The last line in the log shows that my customEvent has the value for the 'Off'-event at "2020-06-02 13:41:02.760". I am looking for a way to get the "2020-06-02 13:41:04.057" value for the 'On'-event when the customEvent gets emitted.
