conditional loop

I was using AppleScript and migrated to Python, I’m not very good for now and need some help

I need to create a conditional loop, turning ON/OFF output device until to reach specific condition, (input value). I was considering python script to do so. My problem is the loop starts on continuous process and never stops. The system does note recognize the condition to stop.

Thank with your help, here is where I am with Python:

Code: Select all

venmarstatus=indigo.variable.updateValue(95594510, value='activation')

while venmarstatus<>"min échange":
    indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(480710969, 0,True)
    indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(480710969, 0,False)

    if indigo.devices[637045073].binaryInputs[0]==1:
        venmarstatus=indigo.variable.updateValue(95594510, value='min échange')
        break

In your original code:

venmarstatus=indigo.variable.updateValue(95594510, value='activation')

vernmarstatus is set to None because unfortunately the function you used just sets the value.

vernmarstatus = indigo.variables[95594510].value

Would set vernmarstatus to the value of the indigo variable but you really don't need to use that because you know the value, you just set it.

FYI: Both <> and != are the same but use != because it works with both Python2 & 3

This might work...or get you closer to what you are trying to do.

Code: Select all

# update value of variable to 'activation'
indigo.variable.updateValue(95594510, value='activation')

# loop FOREVER or until the break is called
while True:

   # Turn the Binary Output ON
   indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(480710969, 0,True)

   # Turn the Binary Output OFF
   indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(480710969, 0,False)

   # if some devices Binary input is equal to 1
   if indigo.devices[637045073].binaryInputs[0]==1:

      # update value of variable to min échange
      indigo.variable.updateValue(95594510, value='min échange')

      # exit loop
      break


With the script below I have a constant loop, the server does not recognize the "binaryInputs[0]==1". Any idea how to stop it?




while True:
indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(1812773431, 0,True)
indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(1812773431, 0,False)
indigo.device.statusRequest(1812773431)
from time import sleep

if indigo.devices[1812773431].binaryInputs[0]==1:
break

Please use CODE tags when posting code.

I think the problem is you're not actually doing a sleep(), so the input never has a chance to change.

This might work.

Code: Select all

from time import sleep
while True:
    indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(1812773431, 0,True)
    indigo.iodevice.setBinaryOutput(1812773431, 0,False)
    indigo.device.statusRequest(1812773431)
    sleep(1)
    if indigo.devices[1812773431].binaryInputs[0] == 1:
        break

Scripts should use:

Code: Select all

self.sleep(1)
