How do I find all devices of a specific type with LUA script

[Guest b95_lun]

Hello All,

I am new to HC2 but I am starting to try the LUA script to create different logic.

I would like to create a script that will arm all my motion and door sensors.

I would like to avoid to explicitly identify each device. Is it possible with LUA script to find all devices of a specific type?

Maybe loop through all devices and check their type?

The only way I can think in current beta is

I am sure there was a call in docs to get a table of devices but can't find it or any way to get max id without a db read.

You may need to look for other classes (113?)and I am not sure if 1 is arm for all devices or if the armed action is working.

Can you give this a test?

Thanks Robert,

Good idea to use the classes, it was new to me

It managed to find my two Fibaro door/window sensors and my two Everspring SF812-1 smoke detectors but it didn't find my two Everspring HSM02 Door/Window sensors.

So I found using the classes a bit cumbersome and will probably use an array where I need to add new sensors manually.

It would have been nice if I could have used Fibaror's "Device kind", door_sensor...

I needed to make a small change to your script to be able to arm the sensors. I used the action setArmed instead of Armed.

fibaro:call(i,'setArmed' , "1" )

Normally you should use function fibaro:getType(ID) but it's not working in current Beta. It's corrected in the coming next release (see Bugtracker).

Robert - thanks for the code it's very helpful.

PS

Here is a part of a definition of properties of a door_sensor in regard of motion sensor.

Properties of other devices you can get with http command /api/devices?ID=xx or /api/devices?type=door_sensor etc

Thanks Richo

the fibaro:getType(ID) seems to work on the latest beta, 3,486

You probably know but I found that notepad++ has a Json plugin which makes it a lot easier to read the out put from Json API's

Is it possible to listen for change on all devices of a specifc type something like:

--[[

%% properties

door_sensors

%% globals

--]]

I would like to create a script which I don't have to update when I add new devices

[A.Socha 133]

b95_lun, right now no, but your idea is great we gonna put it on list to do

Any clue when this nice feature is to be available in lua scripts?

Hi all

The getType function is not the most appropriate !!

I compare the result return by getType with "binary_light" and I get many devices that are not lights. In fact, this value can be applied to all on/off switchs

So is there a way to found only devices that are lamps or lights (property "Controlled Device" = Garden lamp, bedsidelamp, light, etc) ?

Thanks

David

Binary_light are all the switches.

Dimmable_light are all the dimmers.

door_sensor, window_sensor, motion_sensor is what you mostly need for your alarm.

The one that you are looking for is the DeviceControlType. Which you select yourself on the advanced page of a device.

That is a number. Which is probably an enum. So you have to check which number is which type yourself.

Hope it helps

Hi All

 

I turn again this topic....

 

There is no news regarding a way to run a loop on a specific type of devices ?

 

Some of my devices disappear so I'm tired to update all my scenes related to this devices because I hardcoded device IDs in them. So I would like a more flexible solution

 

Thanks
