Domoticz

Posted: **Saturday 23 January 2021 13:49**

Hi,

I am trying to create a doorbell dzVents script. (I have a working blockly version)
The doorbell device is an RFXtrx433XL device (cheap Action stuff)
When pressed (depending on the pressure) it sends in a few milliseconds a few On commands.
So a domoticz variable is used to turn on a virtual on/off switch which sends a voice command to my google homes (in node-red)

The script is not working though because can't find how to access (read and write) the domoticz variable "deurbellen"
This my current script but apparently the "variable" method I use is not correct.

-- Send Telegram Notification if Deurbel (RFXtrx433XL) is turned on
-- and also turns on a virtual on/off switch which activates a google home voice command in node-red

Code: Select all

return {
   on =
    { 
        devices = {'Deurbel'}
    },
    {
        variables = { 'deurbellen' }
    },
   
   execute = function(dz, variable)
        
        local Switch = dz.devices('Bel_Schakelaar')
        local Security = dz.devices('Deurbel Security')
        
        if dz.devices('Deurbel').state == "On" and variable.value == 'Niet aangebeld' then

            variable.set('Er wordt aangebeld')
            Switch.cancelQueuedCommands()
            Switch.switchOn()
            
            dz.notify(Switch.name,'Er wordt aangebeld!', dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,'','',dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)
            dz.log('Device ' .. Switch.name .. ' state: ' .. Switch.state, dz.LOG_INFO)
            
            Switch.switchOff().afterSec(8)
            Security.switchNormal().afterSec(8)
            variable.set('Niet aangebeld').afterSec(10)
        end
     end
}

How can I read and write the value of a Domoticz variable?

Can you try this ?

I commented the line

Security.switchNormal().afterSec(8)

because switchNormal() is not a dzVents method and I don't know what you want with this.

Code: Select all

return
{
   on =
   {
        devices =
        {
            'Deurbel',
        },
   },

   logging =
   {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'deurbel',
   },


   execute = function(dz, item)

        local Switch = dz.devices('Bel_Schakelaar')
        local Security = dz.devices('Deurbel Security')
        local deurState = dz.variables('Deurbellen')
        local deurbel = dz.devices('Deurbel')

        if deurbel.state == "On" and deurState.value == 'Niet aangebeld' then

            deurState.set('Er wordt aangebeld')
            Switch.cancelQueuedCommands()
            Switch.switchOn()

            dz.notify(Switch.name,'Er wordt aangebeld!', dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL,'','',dz.NSS_TELEGRAM)
            dz.log('Device ' .. Switch.name .. ' state: ' .. Switch.state, dz.LOG_INFO)

            Switch.switchOff().afterSec(8)
            -- Security.switchNormal().afterSec(8) -- SwitchNormal is not a dzVents command
            deurState.set('Niet aangebeld').afterSec(10)
        end
     end
}

            deurState.set('Niet aangebeld').afterSec(10)
        end
     end
}

Thanx man! When I learned the doorbell in domoticz, 2 devices were created: doorbell device and a security device.
If the doorbell is physically pressed the doorbell device is turned on but also the security device is set to alarm.
So I want to set this alarm back to Normal To sync this device with the doorbell.

What is the command to do this then?

Hmmm...now that I mention it, maybe I could use the alarm device instead of the virtual switch to trigger the voice alarm in node-red. This would save an extra domoticz (virtual) device

What is the type and subtype of this device (taken from the devices tab) ?

can you try with

Code: Select all

Security.update(0).afterSec(8)
