VD and Scenes are different in terms of LUA

[colibri 0]

Hello guys,

 

My first post here.

 

I've made some research and now I know (of course it is obvious to experienced devs but confusing for beginners) you can't write LUA code in the same way in VD and scenes.

Ok I don't know why developers decided to make it so but it's fact you can't use Net. in scenes. Yes there is net.HTTPClient workaround for Net.FHttp but I need Net.FTcpSocket and it seems there is no substitution for that works in scenes.

 

Probably my task can be solved in an easier way, but my mind is burning and I'm going slightly mad ))

 

I just want to make z-wave doorbell.

I have Fibaro Universal Binary Sensor for my doorbell button ( Fibaro please release Button ASAP!

I have Logitech Media Server to play home music and I want to use it as unit plays doorbell,mp3 )

 

It can be easily achieved by the following code ( credits go to i-magin from

It works in Virtual Device just perfectly, sending by TCP text string to make player plays specific mp3 file.

 

Of course ( just yesterday I was thinking WTF

Do you guys think any chances for me?

My own list:

 

Option 1:

Find out how to run TCP socket function in scenes

 

Option 2:

Find out how to run code connected to VD from scene, like DoorBell.run

 

Option 3:

Something else I currently didn't realized

 

Option 4:

Give up ( not an option really
