Dummy questions LUA

[MDC 78]

Hello all,

I use some VD made by expert members like @AutoFrank, @Sankotronic and others, an today i try some tests so i can understand how they made this LUA VD so great.

 

I'm beginner in LUA so please be gentle whit me, i just want to learn.

 

I start understand LUA but i have some question. 

Now i play whit SONOS VD, and i have 3 buttons on same line, they have id 7. I try to call them in LUA but i can't call button 2 and 3....i have no idea how to use their ID...or how to find their ID.

 

For call button 1 (play) is use:

 

fibaro:call(1334, "pressButton", "7")
fibaro:debug("play!")

 

AND SONONS play!

 

But how to use rest of buttons, for example stop and mute, both on same line...

I really want to make my first LUA scene....so any support is welcome.

Hi @Mediacut,

 

You have to count the buttons, labels, etc. So if the button "Play" works with 7 the next will be 8 then 9, etc. Just try it and see the magic happen!

Take the following  example ...

The label "status' counts as id = 1 so the buttons are 

Gate open and close = 2

Gate open 4 mins =3

 

And so on

 

The first number before pressButton is the vd id itself and the number after if my (7 in your ecample) is the button id

I need to learn more, I started whit LUA manual today.

 

I really like your VD they are nice and useful.

I need to learn how you show status value and temperature bellow buttons:)

Other question,

How to populate EX. label1 whit value from an ID status.

Based on @AutoFrank example above, how to make label status (ex.gate) to take value from module that control that gate?

@Mediacut

If you take a look at the label id and the code in main loop you will see the connection between the code and populating the label

 

I learned ( and still learn)  a huge amount from reading through other users code to try and understand what it is doing ...
