Set state Code_Device at startup

[billyboy]

I have a custom JavaScript which I added to my to my Z-Wave.me server to "Load custom JavaScript file"
The functions in this script work great.
I want to set the state of my Code_Devices at startup. For that I added this code:

Code: Select all

var portDevices =
[
"Code_Device_switchBinary_22",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_24",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_25",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_26",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_27",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_28",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_29",
"Code_Device_switchBinary_30"
];

console.log("Retrieve port states:");
for (var i in portDevices) {
	vDev = controller.devices.get(portDevices[i]);
	var portState = getPortState(i+1);
	console.log("Set "+portDevices[i]+" to "+portState);
	vDev.set('metrics:level', portState);
}

But sometimes, the Code_Devices are not created before this code is run.
Than I get next error in the log-file:

Code: Select all

As you can see the Code_Devices are created later.

How can I fix this?

[PoltoS]

The device does not exist at the time Custom Code is loaded. You need to listen for device creation and then set it's value

Hi PoltoS,

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me a example how to do this?

[billyboy]

Can no one help me?
