Gent’s
I’ve tried to get a lamp blinking a couple of times as the door sensor is tripped.
Since I’m a newbee on LUA / Luup or whatever its called, I’ve copied some code on the net and changed it a bit for my purposes. (btw I’ve an Vera Plus).
For some reason it fails, please tell me why (it is included as part of a scene).
The most disturbing error is:
input:25: attempt to index a nil value (global ‘luup’)
How to address this fault?
It probably contains of a lot of syntax errors which are obvious to you, but I hope you get the idea with this code. I.e it shall notify me when I’m upstairs with a flashing light when someone is openening the door (which I usually can’t here from the top floor)
