get reference to global array

[Penny_Wise 0]

Dear all,

 

maybe this is a rookie-question, nevertheless I am struggeling finding a solution:

I have stored several device ids within a global variable. Now I would like to get a reference to that very variable, not the value. But the function getGlobalVariable delivers the current selected value only. How can I get the reference to the array itself?

 

Thank you so much for you help!!

 

Does not work:

fibaro.getGlobalVariable("VARNAME");

Check API for that: /api/globalVariables/ to retrieve the enumValues

 

For example:

 

Name of a global variable: "InternetStatus"

Thank you Krikroff,  

but how can I include/reference the enumValues within LUA?

getGlobalVariable  gets me the selected value, not the reference to the enum.

 

The intention is to iterate the enum values.

This is, what I've got so far (line marked yellow most likely does operate as expected). Any suggestions?

Sorry for bothering you, just taking my first small steps with fibaro lua ...

 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

fibaro.debug("Scene52", "starting scene alarm notifications ...");

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

localPushNotifications = fibaro.getGlobalVariable("PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS")); 

localPushNotifications = {1, 2};

 

-- user 3 gets all the emails as single point of contact

fibaro.call(3, "sendEmail", "Alarm triggered!", fibaro.getGlobalVariable("ALARM_TEXT")); 

 

-- send push notifications to each of the users

fibaro.debug("Scene52: sending to the following ids: ", localPushNotifications);

for idCount = 1, #localPushNotifications do

  fibaro.call(localPushNotifications[idCount], "sendPush", fibaro.getGlobalVariable("ALARM_TEXT")); 

end

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

fibaro.debug("Scene52", "scene alarm notifications finished ...");

In my previous exemple:

 

For example:

 

Name of a global variable: "InternetStatus"

return

 

{ "name": "InternetStatus", "value": "Connected", "readOnly": false, "isEnum": true, "enumValues": [ "Connected", "Disconnected" ], "created": 1586471912, "modified": 1586471912 }
