Count scene

[xxJAREKxx 0]

I need a scene that counts if the wall plug goes on.

I dont know how this works.

Can anybody help?

What do you mean with “counts if wall plug goes on”?

Here's a suggestion to get you started:

Create a global variable called PlugCount

Create an LUA scene

- set a trigger in the header, of a change in your device's status

- IF your wall plug device is ON

- THEN PlugCount = PlugCount + 1

- print PlugCount value to the debug screen

 

You can also then read the PlugCount value in other scenes.

It doesnt work for me.

Hi @xxJAREKxx, show your code, than we can see what's wrong.

Nil value means the global variable is blank.  Aside from showing us your code, did you set the global variable to "0" in the variables panel?  LUA uses variables that have no types, so it should recognise the value as a number.  If not, you can try the function "tonumber".

Having seen your code, I think you might need to better define what PlugCount is for the script. I suggest you create a dummy block scene that uses your global variable and then convert it to LUA, so you can see the correct syntax for this.

The PlugCount part will not work. If PlugCount is your defined global variable and holds the last count, then: 

 

a = fibaro:getGlobalValue(“PlugCount”) + 1 

fibaro:setGlobal(“PlugCount”, a)

Congrats, you solved it @xxJAREKxx!

 

Do post your code back here so others can benefit.
