Detect KeyID and/or keyAttribute in a QA Loop from a device

[Apax 1]

Hi All!

 

I have created a loop in a QA and need to detect if a button (from a 8-button device, Scene Master - ZRC-90 - Remotec) has been singleclick or dubbleclick and which one 

Normaly I simple use this:

 

{
  conditions = { {
      id = 162,
      isTrigger = true,
      operator = "anyValue",
      property = "centralSceneEvent",
      type = "device"
    } },
  operator = "any"
}

 

 

local trigger = sourceTrigger

if (trigger.value.keyId==1 and trigger.value.keyAttribute=="Pressed" )

 

 

 

But in this case we do not have this device as a "sourceTrigger"

I have tried diffrent ways but can not get it to work

 

function QuickApp:loop(KeyCodeQA)

    local trigger = hub.getValue(162, "value")

    if (trigger.keyId==1 and trigger.keyAttribute=="Pressed" )

end

Triggers are for scenes, if I understand you well, you have to use api.get("/events/history") in your QA to check with button was pressed

all right , that´s an idea 
so there is no way to just read check the device status like motion detector or simular

You could install TriggerQA

It's a QA that runs in the background and sends "sourceTriggers" to other QAs that want them.

 

In your QA do

Hi jgab!

This was a nice one  
thank you very much, i have never imported a script that works direct.

Great job! 

 

For those who read this and want to use this script, change line 7 to only one ":"

Thanks, fixed in post.

The script allows to subscribe to multiple events. The events that are supported are

Also, it's advantageous to be as specific as possible in the subscription pattern as your QA will be sent less events (and less work to do)

Ex. If you only want centralSceneEvent from deviceId 162 do

If you only want from keyid 6 do

after implement this code in to some QA´s, I would like to expand with some cron as well ( sun´state´ and exact time)  but i do not get it to work.

 Could you please give me some hints, in the right direction 

self:subscribe({type='cron', time=<cronString>, tag=<string>})

Thank you for adding Trigger QA

I know it have been available for some time, but Eventrunner for until now been sufficient for me

But it looks great and i'm curious to use it

 

Could you elaborate a little more how to use?

with the code you like to run, based on the triggers

 

In Trigger QA you have  ----------- Helper functions -------------- 

They need to be copied to my own QA right ? but they giving an Error, that a end is missing 

I added a END to the clearSubsciption function, han hope it placed the Correct place.

And one last observation.

The Trigger QA provided above is v1.22 and the QA updater in v1.21

Typo

Yes, clearSubscriptions lacks an 'end' at then end...

 

Yes there is one TriggerQA and then you can have multiple QAs that subscribe to events.

The trick is that the QAs subscribing needs to set a QUickAppVariable named 'TRIGGER_SUB' to a lua table with the events it wants to subscribe to. The helper functions are just helping with setting and clearing that variable.

Sorry, bug with cron. I will update to 1.23. (I changed fibaroExtra libs)

Pushed v1.23 to UpdaterQA

Too early in the morning - now I've updated the right file and 1.23 should show up.
