Need help as my conditional Luup not working

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting
1

I coded the below Luup to stop the scene from running when my door sensor is not tripped but encounter ERROR: Error in lua for scenes and events.

Tried to debug and found code fail at conditional statement, ‘if (tripped ~= “1”) then’, I keep trying to figure out what is wrong with this line but cant understand why code fail.

Luup.log shows ‘luup_log:0: 1 <0x756ca520>’ when I debug with Luup.log (tripped) before the statement.

local SENSOR = 15 – The door/window sensor device number

local SES_SID = “urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1”

local tripped = luup.variable_get( SES_SID, “Tripped”, SENSOR) or “0”

if (tripped ~= “1”) then
return False
End

If your code spells False and End with capital letters, change them to lower case.

Thanks a lot, it works now… how silly of me not to notice
