Valdate string containing blanks

[KristianO 15]

I have been using the API/Json to retrieve all my light devices. Now I would like to do some additional actions based on the condition of the device name. Eg "Hallway light"

I can't get a simple if statement to be functional when the string contains a blank. Removing the blank and it works perfectly.

How to solve this? If (devicename == 'Hallway Light") then

Thanks

Anyone?

Can you debug the devicename like: fibaro:debug("---"..devicename.."---")

 

If you can share your code then we can debug it.

local HC2 = Net.FHttp("10.0.1.30",80);

HC2:setBasicAuthentication("admin","xxxxxx")

response ,status, errorCode = HC2:GET("/api/sections")

sectionsTable = json.decode(response)

response ,status, errorCode = HC2:GET("/api/rooms")

roomsTable = json.decode(response)

response ,status, errorCode = HC2:GET("/api/devices")

devicesTable = json.decode(response)

local groundfloor = tostring('Ground Floor')

fibaro:debug(groundfloor)

for loop1 = 1, #sectionsTable do

section = sectionsTable[loop1].name

fibaro:debug(section)

if (section == groundfloor) then

for loop2 = 1, #roomsTable do

room = roomsTable[loop2].name

if roomsTable[loop2].sectionID == sectionsTable[loop1].id then

fibaro:debug(room)

for loop3 = 1, #devicesTable do

if (devicesTable[loop3].roomID == roomsTable[loop2].id and devicesTable[loop3].properties.isLight == 'true') then

device = devicesTable[loop3].name

deviceid = devicesTable[loop3].id

fibaro:debug(device)

-- fibaro:call(deviceid, "turnOff")

end

end

end

end

end

end

My result is all the sections in the debug and if I change "Ground Floor" to "Begane grond" (that is how I named the Ground Floor), I see all lights of that section in the debug, so that is ok.

 

I changed it a liitle bit, you don't need authentication if you running it on the same HC2, secondly (was working also without this change) I removed the tostring when defining the variable groundfloor

 

What result do you get?

Its still not working, i would like to see all devices as lights in this section/room... Its still not passing the first IF statement. Crazy!

[boerremk 84]

Can you paste the output of fibaro:debug(section). (just before the first if)

 

Are you sure you spelled "Ground Floor" correctly, case sensitive?

[KristianO 15]

In debug i get the following using above code.

 

[DEBUG] 17:29:58: Ground Floor

[DEBUG] 17:29:58: Ground Floor 

 

[DEBUG] 17:29:58: First Floor

[DEBUG] 17:29:58: Outdoor

 

Removing the IF statement i get the following...

 

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Ground Floor

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Ground Floor 

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Kitchen

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Kitchen Light

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Hallway

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Hallway light

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Hallway Closet

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Chair

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Livingroom

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Window Line Light

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Sofa Table

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Dining Table

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Stairs

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Window Light

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Laundry

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Laundry

[DEBUG] 17:31:38: Toilet

Is this all what you get (without the if)? I miss First Floor and Outdoor. If I remove the if I get every light returned of my house (section, room, light, light, room, light, light, section, room light, etc)

 

Something very strange...

[KristianO 15]

You are correct, I get more wo the IF, I get all sections, all rooms and all lights. I just wanted to show its passing throw wo the if, despite the text string is the same.
