Timer object has no attribute amount in Indigo 7

[Turribeach]

Hi,

This code was working fine in Indigo 6 but now fails in Indigo 7.0.3:

Code: Select all

tId = "com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.timersandpesters"
timerPlugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(tId)
if timerPlugin.isEnabled():
    timer = indigo.devices[1709868748] # "Timer Lights Override"
    timerID = timer.id
    timerAmount = timer.amount

Error is:

Code: Select all

embedded script, line 6, at top level
AttributeError: 'Device' object has no attribute 'amount'

It looks like the Timer object doesn't have an amount attribute anymore. I had a look at the Timers and Pesters wiki page but it hasn't been changed since July 2015.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Christian

The amount is a property for the Action setTimerStartValue. I think you need to be inspecting the device states (in red above)?

Can't explain why it used to work and now doesn't.

Actually you got amount on the list too, but it's not in alpha sorted properly, perhaps that's why it fails?

amount : 5 (string)
amountType : minutes (string)

Well spotted

Try accessing it using

Code: Select all

 timer.ownerProps["amount"]

It works for me.

"amount" has always been a config property of the timer device (not a direct device property) so accessing it would have always required getting it from the config dictionary as autolog points out.

It works with ownerProps, many thanks.
