Question about some lines of coding again

[alkorsi 1]

Hi all,

 

Once again I have to ask for the meaning of a piece of LUA-coding directly in the beginning:

 

--[[

%% properties

82 value

85 value

82 armed

85 armed

%% globals

AlarmMode

--]]

 

82 and 85 are the IDs of some of my motion sensors! But for what the lines within properties are used for? And are they necessary to work for the scene?

 

Thanks and cheers,

alkorsi

These are the triggers, when to start the scene, if any of these id device properties are changed the scene will run.

In your example, if 82/85 gets any motion or get armed/disarmed it will run.

Hi,

 

Thanks!

 

Is the same valid for my global variable "AlarmMode"? And it is listed within "globals" because it is a global variable and not a device? Or is the meaning here a little bit different?

 

Thanks again and cheers,

The global variable def. got the same behaviour, upon change it will run the scene. So its correct as you state. The only difference is that its a variable.

Bare in mind that the variable must be changed using a scene to trigger. (Not via eg. a direct API change)

API calls for changing the variable can now trigger scene, add "invokeScenes":true to body of your call.

nowacki, thanks! Example or link to documentation of this new feature?
