Updating global variables in block scenes

[keldertrapken 2]

Situation:

• LEDstrip with RF dimmer
• this is controlled by a RFXCOM module on a synology-NAS running Domoticz
• a virtual device was created in HC2 to control the functions ON/OFF/MAX/MIN/+/-
• dimmer2 module in wall socket, with 2 momentary switches: S1 to control the main lights, and S2 (spare)

 

Wish:

I want to control the virtual device LEDstrip with the spare S2 button, instead of using the RF remote. 1 click is ON, another click is OFF, double click is MAX, tripple click is MIN.

Scene activation function is already activated on dimmer 2. Since RFXCOM isn't reporting back it's status, I've created a variable with 2 values: LEDstripStatus: AAN/UIT (ON/OFF)

 

So far, so good! 

The first scene (attachment) is running well, but he doesn't update the variable to ON! And so, the scene for turning OFF the LEDstrip isn't running, because the variable must be ON...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!!

Why don't you convert the block scene to LUA ? It will be much easier to read and to see if and where something goes wrong.

Post the LUA version, then we'll see.

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if (
 ( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(72, "sceneActivation")) == 26  and  fibaro:getGlobalValue("LEDstripStatus") == "UIT" )
or
startSource["type"] == "other"
)
then
    fibaro:call(92, "pressButton", "1");
    fibaro:setGlobal("LEDstripStatus", "AAN");
end

To interpret the whole thing I think I need more info. Now, both sceneActivation AND a change in the Global Variable LEDstripStatus triggers this scene. Do you want both ?

Yepz, since RFXCOM cannot "see" the status, I want to change a variable "LEDstripstatus" from "AAN" (on) to "UIT (off) on the end of the scene. Doing so, I want to use the same push-button to toggle the ledstrip on and off...

Oh, right, but still, the fact that you change the variable on the end of your scene, automatically triggers it again, so I would take it out of the triggers.

But what you want should be indeed very straightforward. I think a shorter version of this scene will work. Try something like this:

Assuming your VD's second button has the code for "Off" (UIT)

I don't want to change the global variable in the trigger, I want to check it. (Get instead of set)

Your scene above works! I see now what I did wrong. more possibilities in lua it seems... 

Thank you!

Happy it helped. LUA is definitely what makes the HC2 so much fun  . (for me)
