Check device status, Lua Scene help!

[Morcegolas 6]

Hi guys, I want to check if my kodi is On/Off by ping the device.

Why? When I turn on the Away mode, my plugs turns off, and as fibaro don't have template for Aeon Smart Switch for measure the consumption, I have to do it another way. So when Away = ON, and Kodi = ON, that switch won't turn off.

 

I already made one Global variable "Kodi_Online", and this Virtual Device that check if Kodi is On or Off when I press the button 1, but I want this to run every minute or so, How canI do that?

 

Here is the script of my VD,

Button 1:

I'm not sure that I understand the question, but you can press the button of a VD like this:

fibaro:call(deviceID, "pressButton", buttonID)

buttonID is the key number. Start counting at the top left and add one for each key or label up to the one you would like to press. Using the name won't work.

For example: fibaro:call(1001, "pressButton", 1) presses the first button on a VD with ID 1001.

And how can I do it run every 5 minutes in a infinite loop?

Thanks.

Thanks petergebrues, gonna try when I get home!

I'm not a programmer, just a curious. Why do you use "fibaro:sleep(100)" before the countscenes?

Thanks.

Without that little bit of sleep, the script might fail to start when you press "save".
