Question

Posted

Hi everyone,

 

I'm having some issues with Lua code in a virtual device I am writing.

I'm getting information on the status of my Bluespray irrigation controller.

It has a basic API and reports if any of the zones are on watering. I want to just query the unit and then print out if any are detected as on.

 

When I query bluespray controller and its not watering anything I get some JSON back which looks like this.

When its IS watering I get the following.

To make it even more complex sometimes the system reports multiple zones operating. (This is normal and ok. I just need to pick up the first zone reported)

My issue is detecting if I get none, one or multiple active zones. If I have a valid zone then I then want to put the first zone number into the zoneterminal variable. If I don't have a valid zone I just want to put 0 into the zoneterminal variable.

The problem is when I try something like the code below I get

[ERROR] 22:11:22: line 56: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

 

I cant figure out how to deal with LUA arrays correctly. (specifically detecting valid entries)

The json.null operator does not seem to work the same way on array values.

Any help appreciated.

ps Code for the output is really extra long. Looking to understand how I can manipulate the variable name / number I am outputting to reduce the number of if statements.

 

Once I get this figured out I plan to also add in buttons to perform manual runs.

 

Brom

    I think I fixed issues with variable detection.

    If anyone cares here is the vd

     

    Will try and figure out buttons to turn the unit on in the future.

    Sorry to say.. I sold my Fibaro and moved to an alternate platform.

    I cant remember how I got it all to work.

     

    It might be you have a different number of zones.. I hard coded a fair amount in that script.

     

    Sorry..
