Indigo Domotics

Could someone please help me write some Python code from the following rough examples:

Code: Select all

if (indigo.variable[123456].value == home):
indigo.sendSceneOn(20)
else
indigo.sendSceneOff(20)

Code: Select all

if (indigo.variable[123456].value == home):
indigo.sendSceneOn(20)
else
if (indigo.variable[123456].value == away):
indigo.sendSceneOn(30)
else
if (indigo.variable[123456].value == vacation):
indigo.sendSceneOn(40)

Also, what is the proper wording to replace the above sendScene with:
- execute action group
- execute trigger

And, what is the proper wording to replace the above ON and OFF with:
- instant ON
- instant OFF

Should it read = or ==

Code: Select all

if indigo.variables[123456].value == "home":
    indigo.insteon.sendSceneOn(20)
else:
    indigo.insteon.sendSceneOff(20)

Code: Select all

if indigo.variables[123456].value == "home":
    indigo.insteon.sendSceneOn(20)
elif indigo.variables[123456].value == "away":
    indigo.insteon.sendSceneOn(30)
elif indigo.variables[123456].value == "vacation":
    indigo.insteon.sendSceneOn(40)

Indents are important in Python - they indicate blocks of code.

indigo.actionGroup.execute
indigo.trigger.execute

Thanks Jay,

I will assume your first example is missing a "

on the:
indigo.actionGroup.execute
indigo.trigger.execute
I assume they are followed by the ID in some sort of brackets [ ] ( )

There are examples on the links provided.

And, yes, missing quote which I'll fix.

Got it, thanks again!

What is the difference between:

indigo.variable[123456]
indigo.variables[123456]

indigo.actionGroup.execute[123456]
indigo.actionGroups.execute[123456]

indigo.trigger[123456]
indigo.triggers[123456]

Are both correct for different uses? Or is only one correct always?

Incorrect:

indigo.actionGroups.execute[123456]
indigo.trigger[123456]

Correct:

You really need to read the Introduction section of the IOM docs - it explains the difference between the two name spaces. Briefly, the plural version (indigo.devices, etc) represents a dictionary of those types of objects which uses the ID as the key. The singular version (indigo.device) is the command namespace - so that's where all the commands that operate on those types reside.
