Split measured value [Solved]

[Knibor]

Hello,

I have a device called "Electric (Instant+Counter)". I want to create a new device that only shows the counter value. Can someone give me an example of how to do this in dzVents?

Thank you very much

I want to create a new device that only shows the counter value. Can someone give me an example of how to do this in dzVents?

What kind of device should the target be? A text device or a counter or a custom sensor or something else?

Hi,

I currently have a device of the type "General, kWh".
This device gives me two values. The first is the current solar energy and the second is the value of today's total solar energy in kWh. I would like a separate device that only displays the kWh generated by the solar panels today. The device I would like to use is of the Text device.

Could look like script below

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices =
        {
            2515, -- change to idx of your solar device
        },
    },

    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when all is ok
        marker = 'solar to text',
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        local solar = dz.devices('solar energy today') -- change to name of your text device
        local currentText = solar.text

        local newtext = item.counterToday .. ' kWh'

        if currentText ~= newtext then
            solar.updateText(newtext)
        end
    end
}
