[ANSWERED]How do I detect a lock in python?

Hi,

I have a python script that looks through all devices:

Code: Select all

for dev in indigo.devices:

then I can do things based on class, for example:

Code: Select all

if (dev.__class__ == indigo.DimmerDevice):

I want to be able to know if a device is a z-wave door lock. A door lock is a indigo.RelayDevice class along with a bunch of other switches. I tried looking for the key 'IsLockSubType' in pluginProps per the indigo 7 docs, but it is not there. My z-wave door lock shows up correctly in the Indigo 7 UI with the lock/unlock instead of on/off elements. So, I was expecting to find this key in the pluginProps for my door lock devices.

So, how do I detect that a device is a door lock in python?

Thanks,
Darren

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log("IsLockSubType: %s" % dev.ownerProps["IsLockSubType"])

The most efficient way to handle this is for the Indigo Server to handle the filtering. See this forum post for how to iterate only through locks, and search on "Device Filtering Improvements" on this forum post for examples of how to use device filtering in-general.

great, thanks guys, that works. This is part of a slightly larger issue that I will start another thread on shortly..
