[LUA] FGS-221 intercept "user" action

[dynek 0]

Hello,

I'm all new to LUA and it looks to me like implementation of LUA in HC2 somewhat differs from "real" LUA. I wish some documentation was available with few examples for the HC2 as well as specification documents for fibaro modules (i.e. how could I know that value2 should be used to modify angles of lamellas using FGRM222 ?)

Anyway - I have written few LUA scripts to play with and I'm getting used to it.

Now, I was wondering: I am using FGS-221 to turn on/off lights in my house (installation in progress). Would it be possible to modify default action when somebody pushes a button to turn light on/off using a LUA script catching the event ?

Hope I am clear enough

As far as i know that is not possible.

Maybe you can do a request to add an extra parameter for your device when it supports a firmware update.

Let's say parameter x : run scene before turn device on/off or status change but i think it will be hard to implement this.

Just thinking.........

If someone from Fibaro reads this, the idea would be the following:

- 1 push within 2 seconds = turn on lamp

- 2 pushes within 2 seconds = turn on lamp + next one in the stairs (instead of having the light turning on then off to turn it on again)

As far as I know, you can not change the "one push" default behaviour for a wired switch, but according to your post you don't need to do that since one push will turn on/off the lamp.

You can change the behaviour for two ore more clicks (within around 500 ms, not 2 sec, though) building a scene triggered by the switch.

I get it Brick but light will turn on then off to finally turn back on.

You are right, if you use switches FGS-221. I can't give a better solution for this module.

But you can avoid that using dimmers FGD211 and activating parameter 41. The dimmer will wait a certain time for more clicks (around 500 ms after the first click) before inserting any current in the wire.

Good to know! Thank you.

I however suggested to Fibaro that action could be intercepted and managed by LUA script. Could also be a good idea to configure it so no light can be turned on when you're not home for instance.
