Did you copy the code from another quickapp (or installed a fqa file) with child devices and later deleted the childs?

If there were childs in the original quickapp, that could be an issue. Have you already tried to add a new blanc quickapp and paste this code?

    Your problem is this line

    self.id is the QuickApp id of your QA and is vital for a lot of functions to work. 

    Every fibaro.call to the QA will show an error because it looks at the deviceId in the fibaro.call(deviceId,...) and if it's the same as the QA's self.id it will call the lua function, otherwise it assumes that the call is for a child of the QA, but in your case it won't find any child with that id and complain that it couldn't find the child.

     

    In general you need to be careful when storing values in self.* as it may overwrite sensitive variables used by the QA...

  • Thank you so much

     

    So its best not to use self. at all?

    Well, be careful. Because Fibaro has not documented all keys they have assigned to the QuickApp class, it's a potential minefield to assign your own keys to self. (We know from documentation some of them like self.id, self.name...)

    For a QuickApp without children I prefer to have local variables in the head of the file.

    If you have QuickAppChild objects it's nice to store child specific values in the Child class object for scoping purpose, so choose some non obvious names....
