I am trying to test out some variables to watch. i loaded the ping sensor and decided to test things out. in my code file i have the following in the init() block:
luup.variable_watch("sensorTripped", "urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1","ArmedTripped", DEV["PING - Server"])
luup.variable_watch("sensorTripped", "urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1","ArmedTripped", DEV["PING - Beach"])
the DEV variable holds a table of my devices by name to make things a bit readable. in that same file, i define a function for sensorTripped as follows:
function sensorTripped(dev_id,service, variable, old_val, new_val)
if new_val == "1" then
vLog("lost a ping sensor.")
saySomething("the device ".. dev_id.. " has lost connection, please check it out now")
else
vLog("Ping sensor reset.")
end
end
The vLog fucntion just wraps some text around the data passed so I can find it easier in the logs. the saySomething function basically speaks whatever is passed over the sonsos. In the logs i see the variable change, but for some reason i am getting a nil value error. i have no idea where that is happening:
