Is there a LUA scene editor for testing?

[tiCeR 0]

Hey,

 

i was asking me if there is a lua test editor i can use to test my scenes directly?

 

So for example i open the editor and create some id's for lamps.

 

Now i want to write my code for it and the light fire local on my computer in the editor.

 

I hope you understand what i am searching for?

 

Greetings,

Chris

Why you cannot use directly on HC2... it's still on your computer !? Create a test scene (not activated) and try to run what ever you need.

By the way I personally using VD test button for my trials.

You need to understand that not the code executes the light control, but HC2 via Z-Wave... so the code must be executed on HC2.

You are right with that but i am not always @ home and can access the box so i would love to be able to write and test scripts then.

First of all you can access via home.fibaro.com from any place with network connection.

Or if you know your public IP address (like having fix IP from your provider) you can connect directly to the box.

That's what I'm doing during boring conference calls at work.

 

Another big issue that native LUA doesn't support fibaro functions.. like fibaro:call() and etc.

Have you used notepad++? you can at least see if some of your syntax is correct whilst typing your scenes.

You can use LUA online for some code testing... but as I mentioned before no support for fibaro functions.

I thought someone shared a text editor which support LUA and Fibaro functions which works on Windows?

I use "ZeroBrane" to run lua on OS X. It's multi-platform.

It's fun to play with tables and functions and all the lua goodies.

If you want to use "fibaro" functions, you'll have to write an "emulator". A bit like a flight simulator, but with fibaro:sleep() and your devices' behavior and all the stuff. That's what I am doing. I have no code to share (yet), mainly because it emulates MY house, not YOUR house.

I have just recently downloaded and trying out ZeroBrane. Glad to hear you are using it too as I take it that I am starting down the right track. Still a newbie to LUA scripting and plenty to learn from gurus like u.
