UserModule Get device metric

[Isaksson]

Hello.

When update event listener is created then it is possible to get metric from device.

Code: Select all

this.controller.devices.on(this.config.device, 'change:metrics:level', this.handler);

Code: Select all

this.handler = function(vDev)

Now its easy to get metric from device with

Code: Select all

vDev.get("metrics:level")

But i need to fetch the metric from an device direct from the configuration file.
This is what i have right now that i thought should work.

Code: Select all

controller.devices.get(self.config.device).get("metrics:level");

But that did now work, could someone point me in the right direction.

You just can't. I have had a long discussion about in a different thread. No answer about why you can't get there.

It has been implemented in module OpenRemoteHelpers. It is a simple call there.
For example:

Code: Select all

Thanks for the reply, but i have to say that this is very strange, this is one of the most basic task that you want an module to handle.

I could not agree more...

Maybe PoltoS or someone in the team could dig a little deeper in this?

Anyone from the development team?

This works:

http://localhost:8083/JS/Run/this.contr ... rics:level")

So, your example should work in JS too

Just make sure that controller is not oveloaded by any local var. May be write this.controller (if this refers to global context).

Also make sure that self.config.device is correct - may be self is not correctly defined.

Thanks, i will make some more tests.
What do you say pz1, maybe you also will spend some time on this and maybe we could solve the issue?

Would it be an option for you to put your module on Github?
