Yet another newbie here, so I apologize if this is simple. I received my RaspberryPi and Razberry, and have a door contact sensor. Just to get my feet wet I want to write an Automation module that logs something when the door is opened and closed. I tried writing a module to do just that, but it doesn't log anything.

Code: Select all

function FrontDoor( id, controller ) {
   FrontDoor.super_.call(this, id, controller);
}

inherits(FrontDoor, AutomationModule);

_module = FrontDoor;

FrontDoor.prototype.init = function __init__( config ) {
   FrontDoor.super_.prototype.init.call(this, config);

   var self = this;

   zway.devices[2].data.bind(function(d) {
      // TODO: Do something when the binary sensor changes.
      debugPrint(d);
   });
};

FrontDoor.prototype.stop = function __stop__() {
   FrontDoor.super_.prototype.stop.call( this );
};

The logs show my module being instantiated:

Code: Select all

[2014-07-15 03:12:55.278] Instantiating module 6 from class FrontDoor
[2014-07-15 03:12:55.283] --- Starting module Front door automation

From a hardware standpoint everything seems to be working. When I open and close my door the log on the server shows:

Code: Select all

But nothing from my calls to debugPrint ever show up in the log. I've tried a number of ways of binding a function to the device, but they all either fail with errors about not being able to access a property or call a function on an undefined value, or nothing ever gets logged.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

You may find some answers and how to bind events you are looking for by going through the example code found in the post: viewtopic.php?f=3424&t=20528

Thanks for that link! Just looking at the source code and using the values from my logs I was able to log the sensor value using:

Code: Select all

zway.devices[2].instances[0].commandClasses[48].data[1].level.bind(function() {
   // TODO: Do something when the binary sensor changes.
   debugPrint(this.value);
});

I'm definitely going through that post (and links) later to get a better understanding of what's going on, but it's nice to know I was close! Thanks again.
