Test Lua Codes Before Using in HC2

[Yolo 0]

Hello, 

Am a learner and currently practicing lua coding, i would like to know how to identify errors before i use the codes on HC2 . Am not really sure what am doing. 

Am worried i may Crush the system. 

 

For instance, can't identify the problem... (i was trying to tell the TVwallplug to detect if the TV is Off then Turn it On, and if TV is On then Turn it Off)  i want to use it when running scenes.

The TV has 1 Button for On/Off

 

Hop to get help from here. Thank you

Since HC2 system has it's own function, you cannot try it using standard LUA editors.

But the good news, don't be afraid  to make  mistake, the system doesn't crash so easily

@cag014 Thanks for the encouragement, and i know some times we learn from mistakes but HC2 am using its not mine.

so do you suggest i run the codes in HC2..?

@Yolo

Yes, go ahead... I have HC2 for several years and never got any problem with that.

Although I need to warn you, that you could have some issues when you trying to write new values into devices using API commands, (like api.put(), api.post() ). But even so, reboot always works and helps to clear the memory, always.....
