Basic lua programming

[Bjoern E 0]

Hello

 

I'm new at lua programming and trying to use a variable to change light on or off, from a second button. But i can't get the variable to work. What is wrong here.

Declaration

{

  conditions = { {

      id = 187,

      isTrigger = true,

      operator = "==",

      property = "state",

      type = "device",

      value = false

    } },

  operator = "all"

}

 

Actions

local Status_186 = fibaro.getValue(186, "value")

 

if Status_186 == 'ON' then

fibaro.call(186, 'turnOff')

else

fibaro.call(186, 'turnOn')

end

if you dont know  what device value is, values type is, then use print and check it.

ex)

local x = fibaro.getvalue

print(x, type(x))

 

-- if  type of x is string then

if x == "abc" then  do something end

 

-- if type of x is number or boolean then

if x == 1 or x == true then  do something end

I only get nil in return. Looks like ID186 don't return any value. It is a Dimmer 2 i'm trying to control.

fibaro.call(186, 'turnOn')

end

 

If 186 is a dimmer then fibaro.getValue returns a number 0-99

And at triggers property = "value"

Super. I got it to work now. Thanks a lot! Reason i use "state" in property is becase this switch only is used to turn on and off several lights.

One new problem is a RGBW Controller 2 who's not return any value?
