fibaro:debug <-> print

[muc 1]

Till now I used fibaro:debug("abc") in my scenes for messages in the debug window, but print("abc") has the same effect(?)

1) Is there any difference between these commands ?

2) Can print be used to 'print' to a file, e.g. "\\myIP\mydrive\myvolume\myfile.txt" ?

Thanks for help!

It has the same effect, but I believe print() is more convenient way to print messages

Thank you for your answer!

 

How can I print messages to files?

(one reason: I can't copy and paste - and then print - the debug window)

You can't print to a file. The filesystem of the HC2 cannot be accessed (in orthodox ways) anyway. Have you tried clicking in a debug window, then quickly do CTRL-A and CTRL-C?

Dear Peter Gebruers,

 

thank you for your interest in my print problem.

 

CTRL-A in a debug window: the whole dashboard is highlighted

copy and paste: 23 pages and  -  hurra !  -  my debug window (only 2 pages)

 

Thank You!

 

PS: is there a chance to print by a non-orthodox way you know ?

Semi orthodox.

/emoticons/default_icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> I read on this board, at least a few times, that people set up a log server or write their own on a NAS device. Typically a Synology NAS with some php. In fact, the way a HC2 can "talk" to the outside world is HTTP or TCP. If you want to get data from the HC2, that's the way to go. search for "net.HTTPClient" to get some idea.

 

If you prefer to pull data, you can put stuff in Global Variables (Variables panel) then write a HTTP REST program on your preferred client to get the contents of the variables. See
