Calling an atached Python script

[bob]

Could you give me an example of calling a Python script in the Attachments folder from an embedded script?

Using an Applescript as an example you could have an embedded script like so;

Code: Select all

turnOnLight("livingroomLamp")

and then the script in the Attachements folder would be;

Code: Select all

on turnOnLight(someLight)
turn on device someLight

thanks!

Jay,

Thanks for your reply.

I did read it and because I find it difficult to understand I asked for an example. I put this function in site-packages and tried to call it using tempAdjust(); from an embedded script but I get an error "embedded script: global name 'tempAdjust' is not defined.

Code: Select all

def tempAdjust():

    #python script to increase the furnace ON/OFF temperatures

    #get variable "furnaceONtemp_"
    furnaceONtemp = indigo.variables["furnaceONtemp_"]
    furnaceONtemp = furnaceONtemp.getValue(float)

    #get variable "furnaceOFFtemp_"
    furnaceOFFtemp = indigo.variables["furnaceOFFtemp_"]
    furnaceOFFtemp = furnaceOFFtemp .getValue(float)
    
    indigo.variable.updateValue("furnaceONtemp_", str(furnaceONtemp + .25))
    indigo.variable.updateValue("furnaceOFFtemp_", str(furnaceOFFtemp + .25))

Did you import your attachment in the calling script? See the example Jay linked to. There is an example that shows both the attachment side and the calling side. Try it and get that working, then modify it with your function.
