Combine different devices

[MaTi 29]

Dear all,

 

I have been trying to do something, but unfortunately to no avail.

Hopefully someone can help me..

 

I am having two TKB Home TZ68G Plugins.. I'd like to combine them so I can turn both ON or OFF together at once, with one button.

When I look at the advanced properties of the module I can see:

 

"Unable to set up associations for selected device. Device doesn’t support it or soft reconfiguration is required.
Please check device documentation."

 

I am not sure though whether this is 'the' or 'the only' way to achieve what I'd like.

 

I have considered trying something with a scene/lua, but as far as I know I need an event in that which triggers something (i.e.: IF temp. is >15 or IF time = x or circuit=closed, etc).. But that's not what I am looking for.. I just need a button which I can press, after which they turn ON or OFF..

 

Idealy I'd do something in LUA, as I would also like to create something alike which includes my Philips HUE bulbs.. I cannot use them in the scene wizard (or whatever it is called), but I have managed to use them with LUA with their IDs.

 

Thanks for your support!

Do you want to trigger these both devices with interface or physical switch? If from interface, simply create virtual device that will turn both plugs at once.

I will try.. Thanks!

 

By the way, there is a grammar error in the Dutch translation I see..

When making a virtual device and adding a button you can select a checkbox with the text 'Wacht tot apparaat reageerd' (wait for the device to respond).

 

'reageerd' is incorrect use of the verb though and should be 'reageert'.

Not sure where to mention this, but as you have replied to this topic, I am sure you would know..

So, I tried making a virtual device... But it doesn't work lol

 

I have made a very simple script, but even that doesn;t work, so I must be doing something wrong.

What I did:

 

- I made a new virtual device.

- I added a button

- For that button, I added the following code and selected LUA:

 

***********************************

 

-- [ [
%% properties
%% globals
-- ] ]

fibaro:call(59, "turnOn");
fibaro:call(48, "turnOn");

 

*****************************************

 

(Between the *s and the IDs 48 and 59 are correct)

 

The main loop I left empty.

 

Now, when I press the button in the code... Nothing happens..

 

What am I doing wrong or missing here?

Try without the header, just:

fibaro:call(59, "turnOn")
fibaro:call(48, "turnOn")

I will pass this to person responsible for translations.

Thanks, that does the trick!

 

PS: Should you need some help with future translations to Dutch, I'd be happy to assist where possible.

I will keep you in mind
