Checking for Vacation Mode

Hi All,

Is this the correct way to check if Vera is in vacation mode? It doesn’t seem to be working for me and I’ve tried other variations found online, but have come up empty thus far.

if (luup.attr_get ('Mode', 0) == 3) then

Thanks!

There’s no attribute for House modes

you should look at the House Modes plugin (MiOS Apps).

No, actually, there IS the Mode attribute…

local mode = luup.attr_get "Mode"
print (mode, type(mode))

…gives the output (for Home mode):

1 	string

which shows you exactly what is wrong with your test. It’s a string, so the right way is:

if (luup.attr_get ('Mode', 0) == '3') then

I tested this on a Vera Edge running UI7, but used AltUI to run it (of course.)

I should have checked before answering :slight_smile:

Sorry
