Hello all, In the QA editor on the left there are two icons, a cube and a list, after pressing the list icon it is possible to add extra lua files. I searched allover this forum, maybe somewhere there is a manual but i did not find it. I think one can use this for splitting a big lua file in more readable sections (main, menu, screen,devices,calculate,etc) But how do i call the functions? I tried changing the function name, i used the filename instead of self, so i typed 'menu:Blahblah(12)' in the main file to call a function in the 'menu lua file' but that does not work.

This works fine but i use a lua scene (just for the trigger) and a QA. My question is: "is it possible without the extra lua scene?" And how does that work? How can i combine this? (Put the triggering in the QA itself)

How can i trigger a QA function by a sensor? I can use a scene to call the QA function, is it possible without the extra lua scene? In a lua scene in DECLARATIONS i can set a trigger for a motion sensor (id:36) { conditions = { { id = 36, isTrigger = true, operator = "==", property = "value", type = "device", value = true } }, operator = "any" } And then in ACTIONS i can call a QA function "Action" with ID:48 fibaro.call(48, "Action")

Hmmmm, strange......... i was scrolling through the HC2 docs (hc2_ip/docs) but i must have overlooked that one Thanks for your very fast response!

Hello, Is it possible to get the HC name (Serial Number like HC2-030XXX) within a lua script? Maybe with a API call or through the __ENV variable? Thanks in advance

Hello, the new V2.6 Heat-it thermostats can measure the power usage and that is great, but is it also possible to overrule the measured power by setting a 'declared power consumption'? I connected 'a big 3-fase Crydom solid-state relay' on the heat-it output (8 Kw electric heating is a little too much for the Heat-it), so the Home Center consumption graph shows only 0.2 watt (relay power usage)

Hello, I'm lost.... can i use linked devices (or something else) to combine Heating Panel (HP) with Heat-it Thermostats (HT)? I want to use the time and temp settings in HP and send them to my thermostats. Can HC2 do this for me or do i have to write a LUA scene, i know how to write that scene, so that is not the problem. I need to know if this is a standard HC2 option or not. Example: at 7:00 HP-1 sends 20 degrees to HT-1 in the livingroom, HT-1 shows the temperature in the display and controls the heating at 09:00 HP-1 sends 15 degrees to HT-1 in the livingroom, HT-1 now shows the low 15 temperature. at 8:00 HP-2 sends 20 degrees to HT-2 in the office, HT-2 shows the temperature in the display and controls the heating at 17:00 HP-2 sends 15 degrees to HT-2 in the livingroom and so on with the other thermostats and Heating Panels.

Hello Satori, Dit you find a solution? I have exactly the same problem with 1 (out of 5) smoke sensors (type: FGSD-002 EU). A few weeks ago (offcourse in the middle of the night) it starts beeping and it never stops. It beeps once every minute. I removed it multiple times from the Z-wave network (Fibaro Homecenter 2) and i added it again and again. Also i did some factory resets with the B-button on the Smoke Sensor and i changed the battery but it keeps beeping. I cleaned it by blowing air through the device with a can compressed air and later with a air-compressor. See my smoke sensor graph below this text, it jumps from 20 to 30 after resetting the device, so i think it must be a firmware problem......

No, i want to create functions who are accessible from every scene

Hello, Is it posible in HC2 LUA to create global functions? I use o lot of functions over and over again and have to include them in every scene Is it possible to create functions in a centralized scene and use them from every other scene? Example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GlobalFunctions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ global function BeepXseconds(x) fibaro:call(42, "turnOn") fibaro:sleep(x * 1000) fibaro:call(42, "turnOff") end global function MyDebug(text, color) -- read GlobalGlob if DebugGlob = true then -- do something with formatting text, add OS.date and add colors fibaro:debug(text) end end ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ now i can use the global functions in other scenes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ scene 161 - TurnAlarmOn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- do something MyDebug("Turn Alarm on", "red") BeepXseconds(5) -- do something ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ scene 254 - Doorbell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- do something MyDebug("Someone is ringing", "BLUE") BeepXseconds(2) -- do something ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AND OFCOURSE I CAN CREATE SCENES AND USE THEM LIKE GLOBAL FUNCTIONS BUT PARSING VARIABLES IS NOT THAT SIMPLE, I THEN HAVE TO USE GLOBAL VARIABLES REAL GLOBAL FUNCTIONS (LIKE A LIBRARY) WOULD BE GREAT !!!

Thanks! Did you or someone else update the firmware by OTA or by the cable? Some websites offer a cable to update the firmware https://www.vesternet.com/cable-for-heatit-thermostat-software-updates https://www.robbshop.nl/update-kabel-voor-heat-it-thermostaten https://smarterhome.sk/en/accessories/kabel-pre-softverovu-aktualizaciu-termostatov-heatit-316.html But on the HeatIT website you can see 'Firmware updates (OTA)' OTA = Over the Air, so you don't need a cable, you can wireless update via zwave with Fibaro HC2 or another controller. https://www.heatit.com/z-wave/heatit-z-temp/

Hello, Is it possible to read the relay state from the Heatit thermostat with LUA? i can read the setpoint, roomtemp, but not if the heating/cooling is on or off fibaro:getValue(50, "value")) >> setpoint fibaro:getValue(51, "value")) >> roomtemp I also tried a lot of the other getValue commands, like 'mode' and 'thermostatState' but nothing happens And of course i can create a scene that calculates the difference between roomtemp and setpoint, so that the relay is on if roomtemp - setpoint > diff but i like to check the real state

Hello, I can put data in Virtual device labels with a for loop in LUA code: fibaro:call(63, "setProperty", "ui." .. Labels[n] .. ".value", kwh[n] .. " Kwh") What property (like value) do i use to change the name of these labels? Where can i find this documentation? (it is not in http://myhc2ip/docs) Thanks!

Hello, Is it possible to send data from my HC2 to a FTP server? Thanks! I know that i can send data to a (MySQL) database but that is not what i need

Yes that is a fine solution, we use lots of RGBW controllers for electric heating and other stuff. Always use a flyback diode (inverse polarity !!!) on the valve coil to protect the RGBW outputs (eliminate voltage spikes across an inductive load) Or maybe better connect a solid-state relay to the RGBW outputs and connect the valves (high power on 12 volt dc) or other stuff (230 volt ac) to the solid-state relays This circuit are we using for many electric heaters controlled by my Lua code on Fibaro HC2's, and we use solid-state relays because they are silent, no standard relais clicking noise.
