HC3 LUA to add +1 to a standard variable. Create a counter in a scene.

[sarf77 11]

Hi, 

 

I would like to be able to have a variable called for example:   counter1

When trigger happens (lets say ID 50 turns on) I want to read the current value of my Global Variable "counter1" as a number and then add numerical value "+1" to it. 

Effectively every time the ID 50 turns on the variable counts up by 1. 

 

I cant seem to get my head around the way HC3 does it in LUA 

 

TIA

Hi,

 

Did you ever workout how this is done as I'm struggling with a similar problem

 

Thanks

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve but it sounds like something I am doing, I have a variable which i set to 12 and run a scene every 5 minutes to minus 1 which gives me a 1 hour timer, the same could be done in reverse and with different time scales.

here is my code that i am using hope it helps.

if DownstairsHeatingOverRideStateVariable == "false" then

                    fibaro.setGlobalVariable("heatingOverrideStateDownstairs", "true")

                    fibaro.setGlobalVariable("heatingOverrideDownstairs", "12")

                else

                    if DownstairsHeatingOverRideTimerVariable > 0 then

                        fibaro.setGlobalVariable("heatingOverrideDownstairs", tostring(DownstairsHeatingOverRideTimerVariable-1))

                    else

                        fibaro.setGlobalVariable("heatingOverrideStateDownstairs", "false")

                        fibaro.call(DownstairsHeating, "setHeatingThermostatSetpoint",dPanelSetpoint)

                    end

                end

 

I am first getting the variable and converting it to a number as in local DownstairsHeatingOverRideTimerVariable = tonumber(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("heatingOverrideDownstairs"))

Last week I was also strubbeling with this. I found also on the web the solution and this works.

but, can you explain why the value in the GlobalVariable has 1 decimal (3,0)

How can I change the code so I write a number without no decimal.
