Newbie's question, where I can find serviceId?

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting
1

I want to use template below to check my Garage Door sensor:

local status = luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”, “Status”, dID)

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”, “SetTarget”, {newTargetValue = “1”}, dID)

I have the following values on the device properties’ screen:

name Garage Door Sensor

Device #70

ID 65

device_type: urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:MotionSensor:1

device_file D_MotionSensor1.xml

How I can check sensor status and send email is door is still open at 10:00 pm?

Thanks in advance!

If you go into Apps / Develop Apps / Luup Files and open the D_MotionSensor1.XML file you will see this:

<root> <specVersion> <major>1</major> <minor>0</minor> </specVersion> <device> <deviceType>urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:MotionSensor:1</deviceType> <staticJson>D_MotionSensor1.json</staticJson> <serviceList> <service> <serviceType>urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:service:SecuritySensor:1</serviceType> <serviceId>urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1</serviceId> <SCPDURL>S_SecuritySensor1.xml</SCPDURL> </service> <service> <serviceType>urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:service:HaDevice:1</serviceType> <serviceId>urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HaDevice1</serviceId> <SCPDURL>S_HaDevice1.xml</SCPDURL> </service> </serviceList> </device> </root>

I believe what you’re looking for is “urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SecuritySensor1”

You can find the Service ID for ANY variable in Vera from the UI by following the following steps:

  1. Find the Device of Interest on the Control Panel.
  2. Goto the Advanced Tab … You will find the Device ID there.
  3. Find the variable for the device … You now have the Variable Name
  4. Hover the mouse over the Variable name … It will show you the ServiceID for that Variable for that Device!

Or, indeed on this handy web page which lets you drill down into the device you need

Thanks, akbooer!

Never knew that, and you don’t know how many times I’ve tried (and failed) to copy/paste from a “hover”.
