Luup script using virtualswitch device

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting
1

Hi,

I’m having a problem with the following code, basically looking for the scene to trigger if the result from device 65 is false:

local dID = 65 – Device ID of your VirtualSwitch
local allow = false – false runs scene if switch is on, true blocks it
local status = luup.variable_get(“urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:VSwitch:1”,“Status”,dID)
return ((status == “1”) == allow)

No matter what allow is defined as, seems to run the scene :frowning:

is there anything wrong with this code?

The Service ID is wrong. Try this:

local status = luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1","Status",dID)

See Service IDs, Variables and Actions for more examples.

Hi

Now using the following code:

local dID = 65 – Device ID of your VirtualSwitch
local allow = false – false runs scene if switch is on, true blocks it
local status = luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:VSwitch1”,“Status”,dID)
return ((status == “1”) == allow)

However, the device is still turning on, even with the virtual switch is turned on. Any ideas?

Thx

Things to check:

[ul][li]The device number in dID is correct (as shown at the top of the device’s Advanced tab).[/li]
[li]You are using a VirtualSwitch plugin device (not a Z-Wave or MultiSwitch device).[/li]
[li]You pasted the code onto the scene’s LUUP tab.[/li]
[li]You clicked Save Lua, Confirm and Save/Reload.[/li]
[li]There are no other scenes or PLEG that use the same trigger and action.[/li][/ul]

Hi, thanks for your help:

ID 65 - check
virtual switch - check
Code pasted - check
Saved code - ui7, save lua, finish - not sure about reload
Pleg not being used

Pleg not being used

PLEG would be a lot simpler … just use menu selects … do not need to know about or deal with the case sensitive Service IDs.

Try changing false to true and see what happens.
