New to Applescript

Good morning,

New to Indigo and Applescript and was hoping that someone could help me with this basic task so I can begin to get a handle on scripting within Indigo.

I want Indigo to interrogate a particular device, in this case a garage door, to determine if it is closed using an IF...THEN. Being an I/O Linc with Sensor I don't think that I am able to just issue a close command, as it only serves as a toggle switch. In Indigo, I know I can programmatically do it using a trigger (as seen below) but I wish to create a "Good Night" Script that will reach out to all the devices in my house and turn off/lock/close/etc and seems a script would be the easiest way to accomplish this.

The trigger I have set up for this first simple task, the one I wish to convert to AppleScript is as follows: Trigger: "SMS" receivedText becomes equal to GoodNight, Condition: If Garage 1 binaryInput is false, Action: turn on Garage 1 output 1.

Many Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I believe the script snippet below would handle the conditional and action (untested):

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
   set ioLincName to "Your I/O-Linc Name Here"
   set firstBinaryInput to item 1 of (get binary inputs of device ioLincName)
   if firstBinaryInput is false then
      set binary outputs of device ioLincName to {true}
   end if
end tell
