Getting time of last update from RFXCOM device

I have a temperature sensor (new KaKu) that I included by RFXCOM. On the device in Indigo I see the time when last updated. How can I get this time in Python?

This doesn't seem to work since the term is not in dict...
Code: Select all
time= sensor.states["timeOfLastChange"]

Try the following:
Code: Select all
time = indigo.devices[12345678].lastChanged
# or
time = indigo.devices[12345678].lastSuccessfulComm
where 12345678 is your device Id (change as appropriate) :)

Unfortunately it doesn't work either:
AttributeError: 'Dict' object has no attribute 'lastSuccessfulComm'
AttributeError: 'Dict' object has no attribute 'lastChanged'

That's odd :?

Can you post the code before and after the failing statement so I can get a view of what you are doing? :)

Re: Getting time of last update from RFXCOM device

Even better could you post the results of running the following embedded python script:
Code: Select all
indigo.server.log(u'RFXCOM Device: {}'.format(indigo.devices[12345678]))
where 12345678 is your device Id (change as appropriate).

This will give a view of your device that will confirm what the command should be. :)

Re: Getting time of last update from RFXCOM device

this works for me:
Code: Select all
dev =indigo.devices[719674580]
indigo.server.log(unicode(dev.lastChanged))

I don't think you are using the code exactly as autolog pasted it above. It looks like you are trying to access the device's state Dict, but he is referencing properties that are built into the device instance.

Re: Getting time of last update from RFXCOM device

Thank you all!

This works:

Code: Select all
dev =indigo.devices[719674580]
indigo.server.log(unicode(dev.lastChanged))



I'm not sure anymore what code I had before but with dev it works. What is the difference by the way?
