CodeDevice to run local code example?

Is there an example for how to run a system command (shell script in my case) when triggering a CodeDevice in HA-UI (running 2.0.1 rc21)?
Would that be something that has to be combined with CustomUserCodeLoader?
Grateful for any pointer ...

Have you tried anything with CodeDevice? Haven't done this myself yet, but I would have tried first:
- make your script executable with
Code: Select all
sudo chmod +x /fullpath/your_bash.sh
- Add a line with: /fullpath/your_bash.sh to file
Code: Select all
/opt/z-way-server/automation/.syscommands
You should make the
CodeDevice as a
ToggleButton, which makes you can use it as a scene in schedules rules etc.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work. (The file executes just fine from command line; it calls a program with the setuid bit set, so I don't think it's a permissions issue).
The logs only say that I pressed the button:
Code: Select all
[2015-04-03 00:04:25.215] [I] [core] Creating device toggleButton Code_Device_toggleButton_16
[2015-04-03 00:04:29.342] [I] [core] --- Code_Device_toggleButton_16 performCommand processing: {"0":"on","1":{}}
If I change
to some non-existent function (e.g.
), there is a complaint in the logs about that.
Is there a way to find out more about what happens when
gets called?
Thanks
Jonas

I have used the same method to run a shell script and it works.
One aspect that may not have been considered is related to absolute paths in the ".sh" script. Since z-way code is run from root, you have to specify the absolute path.
A script like:
run from the command line will save the date and time values to the local directory where you launch the script (for example /home/pi)
with code device the script should me modified in the following way:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
date > /home/pi/date.txt
to find the date information in /home/pi directory
