simple test going wrong

i made a script but i dont get it to work so i made a little test to see what is going wrong.
i made a simple lua script to test:
Code: Select all
commandArray = {}
if devicechanged['dimmertest'] == 'Set Level: 90 %' then
commandArray['lamp huis'] = 'On'
print ("lamp huis is aan")
end
if devicechanged['dimmertest'] ~= 'Set Level: 90 %' then
commandArray['lamp huis'] = 'Off'
print ("lamp huis is uit")
end
return commandArray
i run the script on "device"
"dimmertest" is a virtual dimmer i made to do this test.
the On part works perfect.
but the Off part gets triggerd every second or so....i do not understand why becouse i have the lua set on "device"
how can i fix this?

A "device" script is triggered every time any device change.
So you must first guard your script against triggers from other devices:
Code: Select all
commandArray = {}
local dimmerChanged = devicechanged['dimmertest']
if not dimmerChanged then return commandArray end -- early exit if triggered from another device
if dimmerChanged == 'Set Level: 90 %' then
-- rest of the script...

i did not know a device script triggers on ANY device....i thought it only triggered on the device after the "devicechanged"
strangely the script is triggerd once on the "On" condition
but allmost every second on the "Off" condition.

Nope.. the script is triggered on each device change and your second if is always true for any device triggered!
Just think about it for a little
