HC3 fibaro.setGlobalVariable ERROR

[Rosavision 6]

Hi there

 

I’m struggling to convert some basic code from HC2 to HC3

 

The following code works on HC2

 

--calls json table and decodes

local decoded_light_settings = json.decode(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("g_light_set"))

print("after decode json file")

 

--STEP 2 gets the relevant json table settings from the decoded table

local ref_1 = (decoded_light_settings.al_7.c) 

print(ref_1)

fibaro.setGlobalVariable("g_al_warm", ref_1)

 

But I get this message on HC3 debugger

 

[11.11.2021] [17:39:28] [DEBUG] [SCENE18]: at top

[11.11.2021] [17:39:28] [DEBUG] [SCENE18]: after decode json file

[11.11.2021] [17:39:28] [DEBUG] [SCENE18]: 1

[11.11.2021] [17:39:28] [ERROR] [SCENE18]: (load):11: Assertion failed: Expected string

 

The error line is for the last line of the code .... fibaro.setGlobalVariable("g_al_warm", ref_1)

 

I’ve changed the syntax to what I think is correct but can’t get it to work.

I've set up the global variable with an initial value 0

 

Any help much appreciated

it seems your variable contains more than just a string.. what is the decoded result?

Yes, the ref_1 needs to be a string, now it's seems to be a number.

I believe that the HC2 did an implicit tostring on values to setGlobal

Many thanks @symbiot78 & @jgab 

 

tostring did the job. All working now

Hi

 

On HC3

I would like to get the lux value it is a number from motion sensor and add to global variable int_Lux  but I got an errro message:" Assertion failed: Expected string"

local value = fibaro.getValue(32, "value") -- get lux value
fibaro.setGlobalVariable("int_Lux",value)

 

Can you help me?

Try that

fibaro.setGlobalVariable("int_Lux",tostring(fibaro.getValue(32, "value")))
