Fibaro from Zero

Hi, I'm new in using Fibaro. especially in LUA. Is there a dummy guide for a beginner like me to learn about LUA coding? Thanks in advance.

I'am also looking for an overview of the fibaro calls in Lua. (like fibaro:debug etc). Is there an overview of those functions?

thanks

Thanks for the link! I've started working on a virtual thermostat controller for my Split Type AC. Am on my way to finishing it today..

Would like to know, if it works perfectly. Please share the lua code

Sorry, I'm unable to upload the attachments on how I made the controller now.

Yep, It's working already. I will upload all the data I made as soon as the maintenance is finished.

I didn't use coding for the entire function. I could if I wanted to but I haven't learned some of the codes and the their syntax yet. Also, I wanted to make things simple first so my partner can also understand the process I've done.

The equipment I'm using is Fibaro HC2 and Global Caché wf2ir

Basically, what I did first was put all my IR codes in one virtual device "GREE" as seen in "IR codes.jpg".

from there, I used another Virtual device to call upon each button whenever I change the status of the Thermostat. So, instead of using an array as the source list of my IR codes, i did that.

This is the code for Power Button.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--[[

%% autostart

%% Properties

%% Globals

xPower

xNumber

xSpeed

--]]

local xPow = fibaro:getGlobalValue("xPower")

if xPow == '1' then

fibaro:call(16, "pressButton", 1)

xPow = 0

fibaro:call(17, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "OFF")

else

local xNos = fibaro:getGlobalValue("xNumber")

local xSpd = fibaro:getGlobalValue("xSpeed")

local xValue = xNos + xSpd

fibaro:call(16, "pressButton", xValue)

xPow = 1

local xVal2 = ""

if xSpd == '0' then

xVal2 = "Fan:Low"

end

if xSpd == '1' then

xVal2 = "Fan:Med"

end

if xSpd == '2' then

xVal2 = "Fan:High"

end

if xSpd == '3' then

xVal2 = "Fan:Auto"

end

local xVal1 = 0

if xNos == '2' then

xVal1 = 16

end

if xNos == '6' then

xVal1 = 17

end

if xNos == '10' then

xVal1 = 18

end

if xNos == '14' then

xVal1 = 19

end

if xNos == '18' then

xVal1 = 20

end

if xNos == '22' then

xVal1 = 21

end

if xNos == '26' then

xVal1 = 22

end

if xNos == '30' then

xVal1 = 23

end

if xNos == '34' then

xVal1 = 24

end

if xNos == '38' then

xVal1 = 25

end

if xNos == '42' then

xVal1 = 26

end

if xNos == '46' then

xVal1 = 27

end

if xNos == '50' then

xVal1 = 28

end

fibaro:call(17, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", xVal1.."° C - "..xVal2)

end

fibaro:setGlobal("xPower",xPow)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: the (0, 1, 2, 3) references are for the fan speed

0 = low

1 = medium

2 = high

3 = auto

and the (2, 6, ....., 46, 50) is the temperature settings from 16° to 28° C..

(Please See 'Data Table.jpg')

the numbers are the button numbers for the IR Code device. It what I call to send the IR through the transmitter.

I know I could have used a simpler code in the comparison by using the FOR statement or other looping statement, but I haven't learned it yet.

Also, I'm using 3 global variables, try to see attachement.

Decrease Temperature (-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--[[

%% autostart

%% Properties

%% Globals

xNumber

xSpeed

--]]

local xNos = fibaro:getGlobalValue("xNumber")

local xSpd = fibaro:getGlobalValue("xSpeed")

xNos = xNos - 4 <------------------For Increase Temp, Just change to (+)

if xNos < 2 then and condition to (> 50) ... xNos = 50

xNos = 2

end

local xValue = xNos + xSpd

fibaro:call(16, "pressButton", xValue)

fibaro:setGlobal("xNumber",xNos)

local xVal2 = ""

if xSpd == '0' then

xVal2 = "Fan:Low"

end

if xSpd == '1' then

xVal2 = "Fan:Med"

end

if xSpd == '2' then

xVal2 = "Fan:High"

end

if xSpd == '3' then

xVal2 = "Fan:Auto"

end

local xVal1 = 0

if xNos == 2 then

xVal1 = 16

end

if xNos == 6 then

xVal1 = 17

end

.

.

.

if xNos == 46 then

xVal1 = 27

end

if xNos == 50 then

xVal1 = 28

end

fibaro:call(17, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", xVal1.."° C - "..xVal2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and Finally, Code for the Fan speed

Settings for Low Fan Speed:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--[[

%% autostart

%% Properties

%% Globals

xSpeed

xNumber

--]]

local xSpd = 0

local xNos = fibaro:getGlobalValue("xNumber")

local xValue = xNos + xSpd

fibaro:setGlobal("xSpeed",xSpd)

fibaro:call(16, "pressButton", xValue)

local xVal2 = "Fan:Low" <--------Just change text to med, high, or auto

local xVal1 = 0 0=low, 1=med, 2=high, 3=auto

if xNos == '2' then

xVal1 = 16

end

if xNos == '6' then

xVal1 = 17

end

.

.

.

if xNos == '46' then

xVal1 = 27

end

if xNos == '50' then

xVal1 = 28

end

fibaro:call(17, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", xVal1.."° C - "..xVal2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whew!. I hope that can help..
