LUA and dummy contact switch

Can you change the status of a contact switch through LUA?
I am trying the code below but it does not function
Code: Select all
commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['test'] == 'On' and otherdevices['Back Door'] == 'Closed') then
commandArray['Back Door']='Open'
print('Back Door Open')
else commandArray['Back Door']='Closed'
end
return commandArray
Test is a dummy on/off
Back Door is a dummy contact and showing closed.
Turn test on should open Back Door contact?

answer my own query.
use commandArray['UpdateDevice']='idx|nValue|sValue' instead of commandArray['Back Door']='Open'

Just use "On" or "Off" to set the status of a switch, not "Open".

I was having the same question. I want to change the status of the contact sensor (Fibaro Hardware) since often I get false positives: the door is shut but Domoticz tells me it's open. I would like to have a virtual toggle to solve this.
I tried the script you provide, also with the alternative line, and also using "On" instead of "Open" and the like, but it doesn't work for me.
I am not sure what to enter for the nValue and sValue, perhaps that's the problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thx, Tigo
EDIT: got it: 'idx-number|1|open' and 'idx-number|0|closed' works... Problem solved.
