function descriptions

[Guest kallecux]

Hello!

Sorry, but I'm looking for a complete LUA reference to control the Fibaro heat controller (and the other).

 

Usually there is such an overview, so that one does not have to spend much time to program a control of the devices via try and error.

 

Where did fibaro hide this?

 

Please do not say that I can retrieve the functions in the LUA Editor module list - I know that. I am concerned with the description of the functions and their parameters.

 

Thank you!

Hi @kallecux!

 

Where do you usually find those descriptions?

 

Could you give an example of those descriptions and where are they available?

[Guest kallecux]

Hi @I.Srodka

 

as a programmer - and I am, if I want to use LUA in fibaro - you have access to the available language scope.

 

This is certainly given by the listing of the properties and actions in the module view.

 

But what I miss is a description of the values returned by the action and the parameters that must be or can be passed when calling the action.

 

How can I get out how to use LUA to set the thermostat to set a specific temperature?

Or how can I activate the mode "window open" by LUA?

 

For this, the desired description would be very useful.

 

Greetings

strange. you are said what you developer but as I can see you can't use forum search button

 

try to find in forum Heating_Override_v1.3.vfib 

here you can learn how to set temp 

 

or just  open http://192.168.1.36/docs/#!/panels (192.168.1.36 - your HC IP)

Hi @10der,

Thanks for the tip, but that's the RestAPI, as well as I read. Tell me I'm going the wrong way.

 

I thought it was enough to access the devices via LUA. So i ask for the description of these properties and functions and their parameters :

[10der 832]

so, you have a big issue with LUA calling official FIBARO REST API? lol.

 

local response, status = api.get("/blabla")

local response, status = api.post("/blabla", {json})

local response, status = api.put("/blabla", {json})

?

 

 

 

PS: after pic "investigation". 

I never used these params... interesting... 

[Guest kallecux]

.... then obviously I did not understand the concept of fibaro.

 

I assume that all commands to be sent to the devices will run via LUA commands.

 

Such as by

fibaro: call (197, "setTargetLevel", "15")

 

Why should I realize this via API?

 

I have no problem with that, but why is there the documentation of the available commands if I can not figure out exactly what the exact syntax is.

 

What does Fibaro say?

Call via LUA?
or use of the API?

 

If via LUA, where can I find the necessary documentation?

Sir, I  was never see these params. I always use _only_ Rest API for this. 

Thank you again!

With pleasure!
Look in the LUA Editor on the module list and then on the appropriate module, so you can determine the properties and actions.

 

But there are still my open questions.........

without description like "You're so smart, you figure it out" 

[Guest kallecux]

Dear employees of FIBARO - what do you say?
 

[Alex 31]

If I am right the Fibaro-LUA-functions are using the API intern.

Yes, for the most part.  FWIW:  fibaro:call(197, "setTargetLevel", "15") is converted to http://<HC IP Address>/api/callAction?deviceID=197&name=setTargetLevel&arg1=15

 

@kallecux  You'll find that documentation is not fully complete in many areas.  That's why we've got this forum .  Make the most of it.

 

However, take a look at this link:

[Guest kallecux]

Yes, you are right, we have the forum for that.

 

But I think that if I spend a few hundred Euros, I will get full documentation. Time is money

 

Your link brings me close to my desired answers. I am also afraid that it is not complete ........

 

Thank you for your help.

P.S: Why does not a fibaro admin in this discussion, especially since one of the beginning was briefly involved in this discussion ....?

Make an account on the fibaro developer page (free) 

Please login or register to see this link.

 and you'll see the available documentation for the API ('Rest API') as well as the LUA functions (LUA API). Just be aware that this documentation also has some gaps, but is pretty good.

Hope this helps.
