LUA on BLGW

Hi all, I have my BLGW back up and running after moving house. With the capability to change commands to Lua code we can now create IF ELSE statements. So excited!! One button can now turn lights on and then off if they're already on!!!

Great isn't it

One day I will self teach myself how to create drivers

Have you done anything interesting with it yet @seanie_230 ? I haven't had a proper play yet but I did a generic lights on/off switch.

I tried to read the setting temperature of the Nest Thermostate and increase the value +1. Didn't succeed until now. I can adjust it to a value, but I want to make a button to increase / decrease the settings.   

 

Any good 'starter' macros or code samples available?

I'd love to have timed events happen, conditional on button presses or other device states...!

So far I've just created the below as a global way of having an on/off light switch (when turning on I use a scene called 'standard'). Would love to create IF/ELSE statements using time, or time relative to sunset.

__________

function(event, engine)

local result = engine.query(event.area() .. "/" .. event.zone() .. "/DIMMER/*/")

if result[1].get("LEVEL") == "0" then

engine.fire(event.area() .. "/" .. event.zone() .. "/BUTTON/Standard/PRESS");

else

engine.fire(event.area() .. "/" .. event.zone() .. "/DIMMER/*/SET?LEVEL=0");

end

end

This may be coming to you already in the next updates.

Still it is a good case to learn LUA

 

Hello,

I want to control lights brightness dependent with Lua, but it doesn’t work. I want to use my KNX-sonsor to set the mode setting dependent on the brightness. The outdoor sensor gives me a lux value displayed in the monitor. But I can not get it to read out the value so that if the value is above a certain lux value the mode is set to day (or light) and night (or dark). I tried it with Lua code but I cant get it work. I have to admit, that i am a total beginner

Here the code:

function(event, engine) 

  local result = engine.query("global/Terrasse/_KNX_Group_Address/Helligkeit")  

  if result[1].get("Value") > "30000" 

  then 

  engine.fire("global/Wohnung/VARIABLE/Tageszeit/SET?VALUE=Hell")

  engine.fire("global/global/SYSTEM/BLGW/SET MODE?mode=Hell") 

  else

    engine.fire("global/Wohnung/VARIABLE/Tageszeit/SET?VALUE=Dunkel")

  engine.fire("global/global/SYSTEM/BLGW/SET MODE?mode=Dunkel")

  end

end 

I got this error:

18-05-01 11:58:59 Event fired global/Terrasse/_KNX_GROUP_ADDRESS/Helligkeit/SET?VALUE=26462

18-05-01 11:58:59 Event fired global/Terrasse/_KNX_GROUP_ADDRESS/Helligkeit/SET_NONZERO

18-05-01 11:58:59 Macro fired global/Wohnen/MACRO/Test Macro Helligkeit

18-05-01 11:58:59 Error: global/Wohnen/MACRO/Test Macro Helligkeit execution error: Line 3: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

Anyone here an idea what i did wrong?

Thanks
