If go into the Advanced tab of the device and place your mouse over the variable it will display the serviceId that is recorded against it.

See example

Hi

I just want a trigger to turn a light on if its off, or off if its on, what could be simpler?

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Many thanks

local value = luup.variable_get(“urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DimmableLight:1”, “Status”, 7)
if (value = “1”) then
luup.call_action(“urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DimmableLight:1”, “SetStatus”, {NewStatus = “0”}, 7)
else luup.call_action(“urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DimmableLight:1”, “SetStatus”, {NewStatus = “1”}, 7)

end

OK - you have a couple of problems:

urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DimmableLight:1 is a device type. You need the service ID in this field.
Use: urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1

Status is the current state. The action needs to set the Target. Try: luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”, “SetTarget”, {newTargetValue = “0”}, 7)

You might find this useful.
