local triggers

[goolliver 0]

Hallo,

I'm looking for a way how to make a local variable a trigger in a LUA scene. For global variable it's easy, you declare it in "%%globals", how about local?

Can you help?

Thanx

Hallo,

Thanx for the answer. Do You mean sth like that:

%%globals

example_of_a_global_variable

example_of_the_local_variable

Is that what you mean?

[A.Socha 54]

global yes, local no (remember when script is ending you lose all local variables)

Ok, Can you look at the script below and tell me why the local in bold (full_hour) doesn't

want to work as a trigger. I mean it works, but only when the global HeatTime is frequently refreshed within another scene in a loop.

Thanx so much.

--[[

%% properties

3105 value

3119 value

%% globals

HeatTime

--]]

local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

local time = os.date ("*t");

local day = tonumber(os.date("%w"));

local hour = tonumber (os.date("%I"));

local minute = tonumber (os.date("%M"));

local night_day = (os.date "%p");

local full_hour = tonumber (hour..minute);

fibaro:debug(hour..night_day);

fibaro:debug(day);

if

(tonumber(fibaro:getValue(3105, "value")) > 0 )

and

((full_hour) > 449)

and

( tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("HeatTime")) == tonumber("225") )

and day < (6) and day > (0))

and ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(3119, "value")) == 0 )

then

fibaro:setGlobal("Heating", "on");

fibaro:debug("On");

It will only be triggered by 3105, 3119 and Heattime, so if these values changes the scene is triggered.

Maybe you can tell us what you want to achieve, so we can help you.

Hi,

Thanks.

Yeah, this is the thing I want the scene to be triggered not only by the globals

(3105, 3119 and Heattime) but also by the "full_hour" which is a local variable.

How to trigger it by the local variable?

goolliver, use time as a trigger

ok.

But

" local time = os.date ("*t"); "

returns table not a string. What format of time do you suggest I use in

"if (time =="xx")" ??

I use:

local currentTime = os.date("%H:%M");

then you can use:

if ( currentTime == "09:00" )

then

....

end
