Text Device does not gets updated.

[mroerigdalgaard]

After last update my TXT alert device i broken.
I can see in the log that it gets updates. But the Text value of the device is empty and nothing is shown in the GUI....

The Text is shown in my LogFile by the DoLogE function....

Som ideas?

The log:
2025-06-13 09:03:38 Alertlevel = >none< Daily Alarm = Off - Alerts: 0 Daily Average = 39.667 Prognose: 251.833 dzVents//home/pi/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua


My code:
text="Alertlevel = "..txtLevel.." Daily Alarm = "..txtDay.." - Alerts: "..daycount.."<br>"
text=text.."Daily Average = "..trend.." Prognose: "..prognose

[...]
DoLogE("Text: ["..text.."]")
domoticz.devices(122).updateText(text)

You did not show the log of your last text output

Code: Select all

text=text.."Daily Average = "..trend.." Prognose: "..prognose

But I will assume there are no error

I created a dummy text sensor (idx = 10379) and the below dzVents script

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
		timer = {
			'every minute',				-- causes the script to be called every minute
		}
	},
	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
		marker = 'text test',
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, timer)
		domoticz.log('Timer event was triggered by ' .. timer.trigger, domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	
	    local text = 'Does this work correctly?'
	    
	    domoticz.devices(10379).updateText(text)
	end
}

And my text sensor is updated correctly.

Most be something wrong in your script, maybe the idx is incorrect?

Best to post your complete script

Edit Waltervl: Added code brackets for better readability

There is no mention in the normal Domoticz log (menu Setup-Log) about updating device 122?
Is the devicename of device 122 unique?

Why not use an Domoticz alert device instead of a text device and change the icons? See wiki page https://wiki.domoticz.com/DzVents:_next ... ert_sensor
Why a separate log function while there is a perfectly working log function in Domoticz?
