How to control a Fibaro relay module within a VD?

[Guest samuelboerhoop]

My ceiling fan works on IR, because of that I used a itach IP2IR module with an IP address and TCP - Port

I added a couple of buttons and programmed them, all working fine.

 

I bought a Fibaro relay module, to switch on / off the complete ceiling fan and instead of using the interface from the module, I would like to use the top button of the Ceiling Fan remote called "Ceiling Fan on / off"  (see Photo-1)

 

What Lua code do I use to switch on / off the fibaro relay module (see Photo-2) within the interface from the Virtual Devcie ?

if

fibaro:getValue(device_ID, "value") == false

then

fibaro:call(device_ID, "turnOn")

else

fibaro:call(device_ID, "turnOff")

end

I tried this but not working... as in... copy / paste your code:

 

--[[

%% properties

79 value

%% globals

--]]

 

if

fibaro:getValue(79, "value") == false

then

fibaro:call(79, "turnOn")

else

fibaro:call(79, "turnOff")

end

 

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

 

I tried something else with a scene: lua blocks and then you can see the conversion lua code:

 

 

--[[

%% properties

79 value

%% globals

--]]

 

-- local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

 ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(79, "value")) > 0  or  tonumber(fibaro:getValue(79, "value")) == 0 )

or

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

local deviceValue1 = tonumber(fibaro:getValue(79, "value"));

if (deviceValue1 > 0) then

fibaro:call(79, "turnOff");

else

fibaro:call(79, "turnOn");

end

end

 

------ the scene is working, fan on fan off, etc...

 

I copied this code for the button "CEILING FAN ON / OFF", at first it wasn't working as i pressed "debug"

The debug told me that line 7 was (nil) so I put the line as not active.

 

After that it was working. Thanks a lot

First of all this line is wrong:

 

fibaro:getValue(79, "value") == false

 

returned value type will be STRING not BOOLEAN so it should look like

 

fibaro:getValue(79, "value") == '0'

[Guest samuelboerhoop]

I changed the code again to the following simplified code:

 

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

--[[

%% properties

79 value

%% globals

--]]

if
fibaro:getValue(79, "value") == '0'
then
fibaro:call(device_ID, "turnOn")
else
fibaro:call(device_ID, "turnOff")
end

 

All workis perfectly
