Hi, guys,
I am trying to write my own Device Handler, but I couldn’t fire an event with createEvent() in the parse().
Below is more information about the problem I met.
I am writing SmartAPPs and Device Handlers without a HUB.
The SmartAPPs are working, but some functions of Device Handlers are not.
I want to fire events in the Device Handlers.
If I used sendEvent() to do that, everything works fine.
The event is fired successfully (the events can be found in the event list of My Location in the IDE).
However, if I try to use createEvent() to fire the events.
The events were never fired since they didn’t show in the event list, and I also used a SmartApp to subscribe the event, the event handler was not triggered, either.
Could you guys tell me where I did wrong?
Thanks!
The codes are shown below.
