How to retrieve the name of the room for a given device?

[Krikroff 199]

Hi,

Anyone knows the function?

For the device name it's fibaro:getName(deviceID);

But I need to concatenate room name with device name...

I would eternally grateful

You can from a virtual device get the name

thank you very much for your reply jompa68, I thought this solution but it is not very optimized (and sexy) in a loop eg.

i need a native function.

I made do with the room id from getRoomID and looked up a name in a table of names in my code ordered the same as rooms.

Not sexy either but could not find a nice way.

It's a good idea, thank you robmac. But if Fibaro can add a native function to handle this.

+1.

a few other missing calls getDevices to return a table of devices? Net/json API is great for integration but clunky for internal programming .

Hi, i've found a way if you have HomeTable implemented:

 

I don't know if this performs better than calling the API:

 

local jT = json.decode(fibaro:getGlobalValue("HomeTable"));

 

function getRoomName(roomID)
  for i, v in pairs(jT) do
    if v.ID == roomID then
      return i;
    end;
  end;
end
