Sending multiple commands to Global Cache device

[mefubar99 0]

I have a global cache close contact device and I can send a single command to the device using a virtual device without any problems.

eg to turn ON to the first relay I would send the following string command:    setstate,1:1,10x0D0x0A

 

The question I have is how can I send 2 or more consecutive commands in a single virtual device button ?  In other words, if I want to send an OFF command straight after the ON what is the format I use ?

I have tried all sorts of combinations to combine (just guessing really) but it doesn't work.

 

Do I have to use LUA to do it ? If so, can someone please help with the code ?

 

Thanks

Hi, 
sorry for adding a question to you question but I was wondering what virtual device you used to talk to the GC appliance and which GC appliance is. I have one ready to install 

 

thanks and apologies again

I am using the GC close contact relay but my question applies to any of the GC products.

Anyone know how to send multiple commands?

Not sure it this helps, but Im using the following LUA code to switch on the TV via GC:

 

fibaro:log("Connecting...");

fibaro:debug("Connecting...");

local selfId = fibaro:getSelfId();   

local ip = "192.168.1.70";

local port = 4998;

tcpSocket = Net.FTcpSocket(ip, port);

tcpSocket:setReadTimeout(1000);

 

-- POWER --

tcpSocket:write("sendir,1:1,3,36199,1,1,97,32,16,32,16,16,16,16,16,32,32,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,16,16,32,16,16,16,3025,96,32,16,32,16,16,16,16,16,32,32,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,16,16,32,16,16,16,3025,96,32,16,32,16,16,16,16,16,32,32,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,32,16,16,32,16,16,16,3600\r");

fibaro:sleep(2000);

result, err = tcpSocket:read();

tcpSocket:write("END");

 

if (err == 0) then

  fibaro:log("transfer OK");

  fibaro:debug("transfer OK");

  fibaro:log("Please Wait...");

  fibaro:sleep(5000);

else

  fibaro:log("transfer failed");

  fibaro:debug("transfer failed");

end

tcpSocket:disconnect();

In the past, trying to learn LUA, I made a virtual device for testing purposes. Maybe you can use some lua snippets:

tcpSocket:disconnect();

 

 

Yes the LUA code worked and will do exactly what i want! 

Now to modify the script to suit my purpose...

 

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Do you know to emulate a long press? I have several functions that are turned on by a short press of a button and are turned off by a long press (2-3 seconds)... the code is the same....

Hi Mefubar99,

 

Thanks a lot for this piece of lua code! With this I created three-digit buttons with the names of favorite TV channels like History HD, National Geografic etc. From today I don`t need to click digits one by one and can easiely choose interested channels by my smartphone

 

For the Ros case and others with the same problem, my suggestion is: maybe it`s enough to decrease parameter "fibaro:sleep(2000);"  to (1000) or less then copy and paste the same ir code few times for new button ?
