Global not triggering a scene....any advice?

[dw89 8]

Hi All,

 

on v4.048. I have one Pushover scene (from SDeath tutorial) and set global variable 'pushoverBody' in various ways. I can see the global being changed from '0' to a message but the main scene, which is supposed to be called on basis of global change, is NOT being called! Yet, if I manually start the scene, I get the pushover message. So I know all the code works but the global is not calling the scene.

 

Any ideas, not personally used globals like this myself before so I don't know what issue could be e.g.:

 

--[[ 

%% properties 

%% globals 

pushoverBody 

--]] 

 

fibaro:debug("scene called");

 

 

KR, Dave

I got a lot of scenes that runs on global vars and they work as they should.

Did you create or delete & create the global variable after the scene? In that case you have to save the scene again. I guess, when you save, the name under the %%globals is turned into an ID that refers to the variable. If you delete the variable and recreate it with the same name, the scene isn't fixed up. Or something along those lines.

global variables triggers a scene only when changed from another scene or VD  - if you are changing variable value from "Variables Panel" directly it won't invoke a scene.

Hi All,

Thanks for replies. Not had a chance to look at in last day or two.

Both VD, scene and global were created in v3.590 (where I couldnt use https), in advance of my move to v.4. I wonder if this has anything to do with it and, if I create scene again, if it will work?

Just a thought. Apart from that its not been deleted or changed in any way and works fine bar the trigger! Its done via a VD so should trigger it.

Any further ideas appreciated though I will try scene delete/save tomorrow.

If you use lua code setSceneEnabled

let scene active state change form false to true

trigger will not work

it should be save again
