I have just started working with Groovy and have some questions. I have only pasted in excerpts from sections. If the entire Groovy script is needed to recommend a solution, pelase let me know.
Everything below works with the exception of those I have marked Not Working. Others marked Help
preferences {
section(“Turn on lights when door or window opens:”) {
input “theDoorWindow”, “capability.contactSensor”, required: true, title: “Door/Window Sensor”
}
}
def initialize() { // with each of these, the appropriate handler is called as expected
subscribe(theDoorWindow, “contact.open”, doorWindowOpenHandler)
subscribe(theDoorWindow, “contact.closed”, doorWindowClosedHandler)
}
def doorWindowOpenHandler(evt) { // turn on the light and set the dimmer to X% on the other light. wait y minutes, if still on, flash both lights at 100% x times (could make 100% parameter)
log.debug "doorWindowOpenHandler called: $evt"
def theOriginalSwitchState = theSwitch.currentState("switch").getValue() // save original level
log.debug "The Original Switch State: $theOriginalSwitchState" // This works fine, output is the text and either true or valse
def theOriginalLevel = theDimmerSwitch.getLevel("Switch Level") // save original level
log.debug "The Original Dimmer Level: $theOriginalLevel" // This is Not Working. Output is null. I have tried multiple variations, and this is just the last attempt
theSwitch.on()
// theDimmerSwitch.setLevel(theBrightness, theChangeLevelRate) // first is brightness, second paramer is how fast to change brightness. Second parameter seems ignored
theDimmerSwitch.setLevel(theBrightness) // first is brightness, second paramer is how fast to change brightness. Second parameter seems ignored
// the previous line is working, other than the rate of change. Help - Would be nice to know what the units are (seconds, millisecons, etc)
runIn(5,checkDoorStateHandler) // TODO: for testing we are using a constant number of seconds, later will use whatever is input
