custom Function

[dario87]

hi,
I would like to know how I can create a custom function (for example, a scenario) and how can I call it using the JSON-API.

For example if I want to call the function

function myFunctio () {
zway.devices[2].SwitchBinary.Set(1);
zway.devices[3].SwitchBinary.Set(0);
zway.devices[4].SwitchBinary.Set(1);
}

how can i to do?
must i to insert the function in utomation/main.js?
must I to use a module?

Can you to help me please?

thanks

You can do this at the moment with a scene in the latest version (1.7.1-rc2) using the develop branch of Home Automation

What you described above, perfectly fits a light scene concept.

But if you really want to make it a function, the simplest way is to put your it into a separate js file under z-way-utils/ folder. It will be accessible as http://ip:8083/ZAutomation/YourFunctionName after z-way-server restart.

a separate js file under z-way-utils/ folder

@pofs
Do the contents of that folder survive a version upgrade?

No, it doesn't. Only userModules folder survives it.
But I've said it is the simplest way, not the best one

hello,
thank you very much to everyone for your answers!
were very helpful.
I have another question:
how do I listen to an event from the network and call my function?
For example, if the switch changes state I see the change from the log file.
I want that when there is a change, is executed my function "myFunction ()".

is it possible?
how can I to do?


thanks
