Auto Bypass Zone when Arming

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 3:03am

So with all this extra time I have I want to see this logic up. So what im picturing my logic is to work something like this:

Zones can be bypassed with this Lua code:
luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:DSCAlarmPanel1", "SendCommand", {Command = "071", Data="1#*124#"}, 169)

Where the ‘24’ is the zone number. I am thinking of setting an expression variable in the zone number spot, from a list of zones that id want automatically bypassed. If there are multiple zones open id want the RS to keep repeating the code albeit with the next expression variable of the next zone that is open. So if zone 24 and 25 are open it sends the code with zone 24 in the zone number, and after some period the state goes true again for zone 25. Finally Id send a push notif to all users what zones were bypassed based on their names so that we are all aware. Since I have limited knowledge with expressions that’s where I am basically stuck, how would I create an expression variable to get the open zone numbers to input into the code, and their respective names as well.

Okay so ive made some progress with the expressions… the issue im running into is the altid says ‘Zone-24’ and I need just the number is that possible? Also realized the format for single zone numbers in the code they need to be formatted with a 0 infront of the number ie Zone 4 = 04, can an expression variable also add a 0 infront of a single digit number?

I think you want the sub() function, as described at https://www.toggledbits.com/luaxp/functions

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 3:37am

ah I swear ive checked all the reactor docs but everyday im finding new ones, let me give the sub() function a try

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 3:49am

Heres what the result im getting, currently Zone-24 is open so I am expecting a result of 24

rigpapa · May 6, 2020, 12:05pm

The sub() needs to go inside the iterate() (enclosing the getattribute()) because you want it to apply to each altid. I would also use only the first and second arguments to sub(), and drop the third. That way, you’ll correctly catch any three-digit or longer numbers (may not happen, but good habits prevent future accidents).

LibraSun · May 6, 2020, 3:27pm

Side note: I’ve never seen/used the syntax shown in the 2nd Expression, above, where

VAR := OTHER_VAR = STUFF

Would that be equivalent to this (easier for me to read/understand)?

OTHER_VAR = STUFF

rigpapa · May 6, 2020, 3:30pm

Heh… I didn’t notice THAT until you pointed it out… as it turns out, it will likely work, as assignments are valid in expressions as a by-product of the underlying parser implementation. That means that entry is creating two variables… one called tripped_sensors and one called iterate. In many languages (like Lua), that latter point would be an instant problem for the remaining expressions that try to use the iterate() function, but in this expression parser, it knows the difference and won’t confuse them. This should be corrected, though. No guarantees that would continue to work in future.

Edit: I should add that in this structure/syntax, Reactor itself has no idea that tripped_sensors exists… it exists as a local variable entirely within the expression parser’s context. That has side effects, but I don’t think any that are relevant here. This is just an additional informational comment.

*Note all these expression that I got are from a different form post I made to get help with announcing zone openings

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 4:06pm

Okay so now that expression worked, to get a 0 put infront of a single digit number I was thinking of using an if statement, checking to see the if the result is <10, if true add a 0 infront of the number, if false do nothing. How would I go about using composing the true statement to do just that?

if( tripped_numbers<10, truexp[, tripped_numbers )

rigpapa · May 6, 2020, 9:34pm

Since tripped_numbers is an array, you need to iterate to catch all of the array elements…

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 9:45pm

So I am unaware if I am supposed to use the tostring(_) ) but I tried with and without and im receiving an undefined result

iterate( tripped_numbers, if( _ < 10, "0", "" ) .. tostring(_) )

LibraSun · May 6, 2020, 9:52pm

@Pabla, consider this simpler alternative method for adding leading zeros your single-digit zones:

Instead of an If-Then, merely concatenate “0” & zone_num,
Then, use sub() to extract just the right-most two characters from the resulting string.

You’d have “24” → “24”, as expected, but also get “3” → “03”.

EDIT: I also like your approach, and see no reason why it would not suffice. Just tossing out an alternative that I often use in Google Sheets.

rigpapa · May 6, 2020, 9:52pm

OK. Post a logic summary, please. We need to see everything all in one place.

So what you have are strings that look like numbers, not numbers, so the “< 10” comparison won’t work without first converting the string to a number. So you could change _ < 10 to tonumber(_) < 10, but I like @LibraSun’s suggestion even better:

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 9:56pm

This is honestly the first time where I am trying to figure out proper functions and im open to any suggestions! Would you mind expanding on your suggestion

LibraSun · May 6, 2020, 9:57pm

Only after Patrick states his intentions and suggestions, lol, WHICH I SEE HE HAS JUST DONE, ABOVE. (He’s vastly more adept than I!)

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 9:58pm

forgot to refresh my page to see his post ahah, let me give it a go!

Pabla · May 6, 2020, 10:07pm

ah ha! That did the trick, so now the very last thing I am thinking of doing is grabbing the number of the first zone in the list to later input that in the Lua code. I dont quite think I understand how the sub function works, if I use this iterate( proper_number, sub( _, 1, 2) ) shouldn’t I get the first to second character of the list? I am just getting the same zone number as the expression above
