LUA Problems since 2023.1 Topic is solved

[dgilbert2]

I am having problems getting a LUA script to work since upgrading to 2023.1, which works fine on previous releases.

The code accesses a LightwaveRF Link controller with an IP 198.168.1.127 but it does not change state (eg switch lights on/off) when issued with the (extracted) LUA code below;

Code: Select all

--send complete command to LightwaveRF Link
            UDPSend(IPaddress,LWCmd)
            print ( "Command sent to " .. IPaddress .. " is " .. LWCmd)

function UDPSend(ip, message)
    local port = 9760
    udpcall = "echo -n " .. message .. "| nc -4u -w1 " .. ip .. " " .. port .. " &"
    os.execute(udpcall)  
    return

The log output below shows no errors and with the correct command being sent. I have added 192.168.1.127 to my "Local Network" under security and also tried "Allow Basic Authentication over plain HTTP", nothing has worked though. Any suggestions please? (BTW I have rolled back to 2022.2 and it works, its just something to do with 2023.1?).

Sorted, the issue was with "Bulleseye", it seems the latest distribution package is missing ncat so installed with:

sudo apt install ncat
