Doubt about QuickApps

[Vicent13 0]

Hey there,

 

I am investing my time here trying to make my home work properly

 

I want to create a QuickApp that can "read" a sensor from my home (e.g. door sensor, switch) and, then, go and make something else.

 

In general, I want to create a QuickApp that that, once I push its button, it can turn on a device/scene and, at the same time, being able to adapt than virtual button to a real sensor.

 

For example: imagine a fibaro switch. I would like to be able to:

- Once it its phisicallly turned on I got a notification and it turns off a light and turns on another one

- If I push the virtual button, I have the same result as above.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Create a scene for this. You can automatically trigger the scene and also run it manual from the Yubii app.

thanks. I know I can do this, but i am trying to play with the virtual device since I want to make an advanced implementation with Alexa.

As you can’t use triggers in a QA (they are not made for it) I would program the QA that it works as you want with the button you create.

 

Then create a scene that triggers on the wall switch and activates the function (your button handler function) in your QA.

 

For example: hub.call(qaId, “ButtonPressed”, “”)

thanks. But how do i made the “Connection” between an ID and the button created in the QA?

The button triggers a function, if you edit the GUI select the button and look which function it starts:

Then look in the code for the function:

 

In your scene the blue arrow is the function name and the red arrow is the parameter you pass to the function (if you don't use that, use a blank string):

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

The qaId in the scene code is the id of your QA.

 

I short; if you press the button in a QA you start a function (see above), to "press the button" from a scene, you just start that function with the code I shown you. So you don't press the button, but start the same function.

thanks, mate. Thanks to you, I am now able to make a button made the exact same thing as one of my devices

 

Is it any way that, once of my door sensors (or motion) is activated, it actuates with the virtual device I have just created? Thanks again.
