Hi, is it possible triggered between scenes?

You don't have to delete it, you can edit it. But if you really want to, I can do it.

fibaro:startScenes(sceneID) ?

Thanks for answering, I can not find a better way to explain it than to give an example: 

--Scene 1
--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% weather
%% events
%% globals
valueToChange
--]]

local function tempFunc()
    fibaro:debug(initValue)
    setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)
end

local initValue = 0

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if ( startSource['type'] == 'autostart')  then
    tempFunc()   
elseif ( startSource['type'] == 'property') then
   local initValue = tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("valueToChange")) -- first example
   local initValue = initValue + tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("valueToChange")) -- second example
end

--Scene 2
-- global variable = valueToChange
local function changeValue()
    local result = "1" -- this is an a possible example, it could be a function
    fibaro:setGlobal("valueToChange", "1");    
end

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if ( startSource['type'] == 'other')  then
    changeValue() 

end

 

The 1st scene is executed automatically, and gives as value 0,
The second scene is manual, when it is executed it changes the value of the global variable = 1, since it is a trigger in scene number 1, it is executed by modifying the local variable that it already has, so without having to restart scene 1 it is already would return the value = 1.

 

The problem is that a trigger generates a new scene and therefore the value of the scene that is already working is not updated. I'm right?

The best way, is that the 1st scene works with a global variable, and another scene modifies the value of the global variable, this is the only way I have found to simulate a trigger between scenes.
 

Example of how it would look:

--Scene 1
--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% weather
%% events
%% globals
--]]

local function tempFunc()
    fibaro:debug(fibaro:getGlobalValue("valueToChange"))
    setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)
end

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if ( startSource['type'] == 'autostart')  then
    tempFunc()   
end

--Scene 2
-- global variable = valueToChange
local function changeValue()
    local result = "1" -- this is an a possible example, it could be a function
    fibaro:setGlobal("valueToChange", "1");    
end

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if ( startSource['type'] == 'other')  then
    changeValue() 

end

 

And why do I say all this?
- It could have scenes that update the value dynamically, so if they use local variables they will not have to be restarted when saving and restarting (LUA). example: variable count
- Gives the possibility of configuration through a simple web page through http: Request when scenes based on LUA are used.

And surely many more things.
