good place for "global" LUA functions?

[maxdreamland 1]

I was wondering if there is a place where we can put LUA code/functions so that they can be accessed from all LUA scenes?

 

For example, i wrote a function that parses the list of available iOS devices from the HTTP API and sends a given notification message to all of them. Thats a nice little function that can come in handy in many scenes. Now, the question is, do i have to copy the code for this function into every scene that i want to use it in?

 

Or is there some "global" place where i could save this code so it is visible to all my scenes without replicating the code in every scene?

 

thanks in advamce!

regards

Max

no, but we all dream about it.

 

Only solution is to use global variables and let then trigger other scenes. Unf. not w. import/export of variables/tables.

I found this bugzilla request. Perhaps we all back it and Fibaro might listen.

Well I guess in a way one could set up a VD with LABELs as input parameters and then use a KEY for triggering the "function" - it is a way of doing a "global function" so to speak - although it is not the best solution...

interesting idea, but kinda complicated and pretty much the poster child for a "workaround"

by the way, does Fibaro communicate their development "roadmap" somewhere (developer blog or something similar) ?
