Multiple blank lblStatus values

[Craig 0]

Hi,

I am trying to get a VD ui.lblStatus value to trigger the following scene but it seems to be stopped by the blank lblStatus values prior to receiving the ON or OFF values. Everything else works fine..

Does anyone know why this happens and how to work around it?

 

--[[
%% properties
46 ui.lblStatus.value
%% events
%% globals
--]]

PushNotificationID = fibaro:getGlobal('PushNotificationID')
local device = 46
local status = fibaro:getValue(device, "ui.lblStatus.value")
print (status)

if status == "OFF"
    then
        api.put('/scenes/133', {iconID=1023})
        fibaro:call(PushNotificationID, "sendDefinedPushNotification", "17");
        fibaro:call(2, "sendDefinedEmailNotification", "17");
    end

if status == "ON"
    then
        api.put('/scenes/133', {iconID=1022})
        fibaro:call(PushNotificationID, "sendDefinedPushNotification", "16");
        fibaro:call(2, "sendDefinedEmailNotification", "16");
    end

if status == "OFFLINE"
    then
        api.put('/scenes/133', {iconID=1034})
    end

I'm not that great with LUA but I try to help. You have typed the following:

But at the

Please login or register to see this code.

You didn't mention print (status)

 

Or use fibaro:debug(" ") and type between the " " what you want to see in the debug windows.

 

I hope this helped for a LUA newbie

meaby this is what you mean

 

--[[
%% properties
46 ui.lblStatus.value
%% events
%% globals
--]]

PushNotificationID = fibaro:getGlobal('PushNotificationID')
local device = 46
local status = fibaro:getValue(device, "ui.lblStatus.value")
print (status)

if status ~= "" then
    if status == "OFF" then
        api.put('/scenes/133', {iconID=1023})
        fibaro:call(PushNotificationID, "sendDefinedPushNotification", "17");
        fibaro:call(2, "sendDefinedEmailNotification", "17");
    end
    if status == "ON" then
        api.put('/scenes/133', {iconID=1022})
        fibaro:call(PushNotificationID, "sendDefinedPushNotification", "16");
        fibaro:call(2, "sendDefinedEmailNotification", "16");
    end
    if status == "OFFLINE" then
        api.put('/scenes/133', {iconID=1034})
    end
else fibar:abort()
end

Hi Kage,

 

Unfortunately adding " if status ~= "" then " hasn't made hasn't helped . I still get the same response where the if statements don't trigger. Any other ideas?

How about working around this by having the VD set a global var with the same value as the status label and make the scene trigger on that global var?
Is this doable, can you edit the VD code to set a variable?

The current trigger could be tripping on every UI refresh and with the insane rate of triggers who knows what kinds of weird behavior might resurface here.
I'd try to shift to another implementation using different trigger type like a global var I mentioned above or even have the scene called from the VD on every label update.

BTW, how is the label updated in the VD itself? Could it be pumping in the same value in a loop without any delays?
