Scene Trigger on Variable Change

[ChrisI 0]

Hi

 

I know it is possible for a scene to be triggered every time a device value changes by using the lua script below:

--[[ </br>

2    %% properties </br>

3   50 value </br>

4    %% globals </br>

5    –]] </br>

 

This will activate teh scene every time deviceID 50 changes its value.

 

I would like the scene to be triggered every time the value of my variable Battery_Level changes?

this doesnt seem to work:

--[[
%% properties
"Battery_Level" value
%% events
%% globals

--]]

 

Help please.

Try this:

 

--[[
%% properties

%% events
%% globals
Battery_Level
--]]

This works for an individual battery device;

And check this download from @AutoFrank  for multiple devices and notifications -

Hei again , after reading your post i found that i wanted a scene that gave me visual warnings, i.e. light in room with battery device might flash if battery level was very low.

Sankotronic's battery check scene is marvelous and gives a visual oversight that pinpoints every detail , really clever.

 

Here is a scene i found on the Forum. all credits go to author..

You can change battery levels for scene and add actions i.e. turn on/ flash light etc..

Hi @ChrisI ,

 

Above solution from @rickydehaas  definitely work, but for test purpose you have to change that global variable value from some test code. Scene will NOT be triggered if you change global variable value in variable panel and press Save button.

 

Actually more and more solutions on this forum uses table formatted data stored in global variables which are destroyed if Save button is used in global variable panel so you should not do that but have some test VD where you can change global variable value with simple code.
