Tutorial: Single scene instance / Event model

[jgab 2,202]

Great,

I was thinking to generalize the devicemap file to not only be for the hometable but a file with all predefined globals. Then bank holidays could be stored there too. Maybe also support an automatic way to download all globals from the HC2 to that file

[jgab 2,202]

New version 1.8 pushed to GitHub. EventRunner.lua, EventRunnerDebug.lua, globals.data

 

- Change introduce that will break old way of handling hometable/globals when running offline.

'globals.data' replaces 'devicemap.data' that was used to store the hometable global when running offline.

globals.data as the name implies, stores all offline globals, including your hometable global.

As setup you need to call _System.readGlobalsFromFile() in the beginning of main() to setup all globals for offline use (if called on the HC2,  _System.readGlobalsFromFile() does nothing)

It will as default read in the globals stored in the file the variable '_GLOBALS_FILE' is set to, default 'globals.data'. Feel free to set it to other names to use different globals setups.

_System.readGlobalsFromFile() can optionally take a filename Ex. _System.readGlobalsFromFile('my_globals.data') to read from some other file.

 

_System.copyGlobalsFromHC2() will  copy globals from the HC2 to into the ZBS running scene. You need to have setup HC2 credential for the access to succeed.
_System.writeGlobalsToFile(), will write globals "loaded" in the ZBS eventrunner scene to file 'globals.data' (can optionally take a file name too)

 

To always get a copy of the HC2 globals to your offline scene when it starts, do

 

_System.copyGlobalsFromHC2() instead of _System.readGlobalsFromFile()

 

However, that may be a bit wasteful and to save a version of the HC2 globals to file on the ZBS, do

once in the beginning of main() and replace with _System.readGlobalsFromFile()

 

If you have an elaborate hometable that only exists on file on the ZBS you need to convert it as the format is different from the new format.
You could do something like this to read in the old hometable and write a new globals file

- More useful Event listener server.

If global 'NodeRed' or '_PORTLISTENER' is set to true an Event listener will be started on ZBS port 6872. The Node-red uses this to post events back to ZBS (on the HC2 Node-red does a proper startScene with the event as argument).

However, we can post events from other clients too, including the HC2(!)

This scene will encode every sourcetrigger (except 'other' and 'autostart') and send it to ZBS, where it will be reposted. And of course only triggers that are declared in the scene header...

 

This means that we can forward "live" trigger on the HC2 to our offline scene on the ZBS. In principle we could run all scenes offline

It can be useful when some debugging scenarios, and I use it to forward live key events (CentralSceneEvents) into my offline scenes when debugging.

Testing this now but it does not send to node-red from ZBS

Ah, you use the variable ‘NodeRed’ both as address in remote call and set as boolean. 

[jompa68 121]

ah, ofcourse. Looking and looking for mistake but did not see that

Have you downloaded the latest version of EventRunnerDebug.lua?

Is this on the hc2?

Yes this is on HC2

how can i get this to work? rnd and variable together

OK, _System.readGlobalsFromFile()  was a bug from me. I pushed a new version that have null version of the functions when running on the HC2.

 

The rnd should work. It will always run with random intervals from 5 to 55 minutes, however it will only carry out the action when homeStatus is equal to "away" and it's between 16:00 and  00:15.

Doesn't it work for you?.

Actually you can get the (hometable) name instead just the device number (if you have made a Util.reverseMapDef in the beginning). That should probably be a built-in function for EvenScript in the next version.

Do you need the last wait?

Perhaps i should mention that it is Sonos plugin that i try to toggle

So, 599, 596, and 597 are IDs of VDs? 

:toggle is just to turn on/off lights/sockets or things that react on fibaro:call(id,'"turnOn") and fibaro:call(id,'"turnOff")

Is it a button on the IDs you want to press?

Ex. if it is button 1 that toggles play/pause.

So you have recorded sounds of you moving around in the house to scare burglars?

[jompa68 121]

When you setup Sonos plugin in HC2 the players will be like normal on/off devices, so it is possible with LUA to use 

Please login or register to see this code.

but i think in your code you check for fibaro:getValue first, and that is not possible with this players from plugin.

Can i use a VD instead? But that have different buttons for play/stop
