I’m trying to write an app to using the button.pushed handler to toggle my switches to I can use the button.held handler for other uses. My app is compiling but when I turn a switch on it does not toggle it off when the button is pressed a second time. Here is my code
def buttonPushedHandler(evt) {
log.debug "$evt.name: $evt.value, data: $evt.data, descriptionText: $evt.descriptionText"
if (evt.data == '{"buttonNumber":1}') {
log.debug switches1.currentValue("switch")
if ( switches1.currentValue("switch") == "on" ) {
switches1*.off()
}
else {
log.debug "Turning switch1 ON"
switches1*.on()
}
}
Can anyone help? My debug returns [on] but it does not execute the true statement. It always executes the false statement.

May not explain what’s failing, but the code I based my toggle on used contains rather than ==
private def toggle(devices,capabilityType) {
if (capabilityType == 'switch') {
myDebug("toggle switch Values: $devices = ${devices*.currentValue('switch')}")
if (devices*.currentValue('switch').contains('on')) {
myTrace("Set devices.off: ${devices}")
devices.off()
}
else if (devices*.currentValue('switch').contains('off')) {
myTrace("Set devices.on: ${devices}")
devices.on()
}
else {
myTrace("Set devices.on (Failsafe default action attempt.): ${devices}")
devices.on()
}
}
...

Id like to see that code once you get it working, if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks!

Sorry, I’m just seeing this now. Here you go: (not sure why there is so much space between each line)
