Scene in a scene does not work

[mercurius19 0]

Hey All,

I created a "scene A" light on and after 10" licht off via a wall plug, this scene works fine.

Now I create "scene B" as follows: If KeyFob "button 2 press hold" then "scene A". This "scene B" does not work. What is wrong, anyone an idea? To activate a scene from an other scene must be possible isn'it?

Thx for your replies.

try the following:-

fibaro:startScene(sceneID)

• sceneID: The number of the scene which is to be started.

The command startScene is written down in the script. See LUA script hereafter with KeyFob button 1:

I have a similar setup like you want to implement. My code is working. Difference with yours is that I have

if (
    -- Perform action on RC click
    startSource["type"] == "event"
  or
    startSource["type"] == "other"
   )
  then

 

So I do not have you AND clause.....

I don't really understand why You nreed the "if" part.

 

What are the ways to run the scene?
I can see 2 options:
1. hold the button

2. start scene manually.

And both options olways return true i the "if".

 

So the code should be (it changes nothing in fuctionality, if I didn't miss some "if" params):

(don't trust it, there might be some misspellings) - OK... this was out of scope of question...

 

SO THE REAL WAY TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX THIS:
You need some debuging.
First of all chack of the scene B runs. Just write: "print('works')", and check the result in debug window.
Check if fibaro:startScene(56) starts when it's at the begigng of code, before any "if" statement.

Print the values of variables in "if".
Print inside the if some debug, ie: print("i'm inside");

 

I'm new to LUA, but I'm programming in other languages for 10+ years, and that's the thing I always do in sitiuation where I can see no problem in code but something's not working.
