Hi, is it possible to return value on/off (or any other status/text) which is return from sh script which will be visible on vera “button”
I can imagine scene with luua code that runs every minute but how to see or use this value?
You can use a virtual switch plugin for this. Eg the MultiSwitch plugin. Which can then from a remote system be set to on or off. Switching state on these buttons can be used in a Vera scene as a trigger.
Example SH (unix style) script to switch on button1 on a specific MultiSwitch device
Set the Vera URL data to a variable. Change VERAIP and YOURDEVICE# accordingly
Set Multiswitch button 1 to on state
wget -qs “${VERAURL}Status1&Value=1”
And set it to Off
wget -qs “${VERAURL}Status1&Value=0”

Ok so it means that I should rather make the script to update vera and not make vera to “ask” for a status. right?
And what about numeric fields, like temperature readings?
I can imagine that I will write script that will update vera based on the owfs/owserver readings from one wire network but how to create “sensor” on vera?

ok, easy, even one wire temperature sensors can be arranged 
but still I have a problem to manage on off status.
if I update Status Variable based on the current state of the relay it do not change the “button” state.
problem is that if I change the relay state out of vera (IR remote) than current state is not changed,
