Change Active Status of a Script - jamesng - 13.05.2021

Hi

Is it possible to use a script to change the active state of another script?

I tried the following code, however it doesn't seem to change the active state / icon in the script list view. (I'm running a Schneider SHAC with the older logic machine firmware which might be the problem)

Code:
-- Change active status of script

function enableScript(scriptname, active)

  if active == true then

   script.enable('scriptname')

   log('Script "' .. scriptname .. '" is active') 

  else

   script.disable('scriptname')

    log('Script "' .. scriptname .. '" is disabled')

  end

end

I successfully run the following the following code which directly interacts with the database to change the status of schedules - is something similar required to activate / deactivate scripts?

Code:
-- Change active status of schedule

function enableSchedule(schedulername, active)

  query = 'SELECT * FROM schedulers'

  for _, scheduler in ipairs(db:getall(query)) do

    if scheduler.name == schedulername then

      if active == true then

        db:update('schedulers', { active = 1 }, { id = scheduler.id })

        log('Schedule "' .. schedulername .. '" is active')

      else

        db:update('schedulers', { active = 0 }, { id = scheduler.id })

        log('Schedule "' .. schedulername .. '" is disabled') 

      end

    end

  end

end  

-- Clear old schedules after updating enable state in database with enableSchedule

function updateSchedulers()

  local files = io.ls('/tmp')

  for _, file in ipairs(files) do

    if file:find('lm-scheduler-', 1, true) then

      os.remove('/tmp/' .. file)

    end

  end

end

Many thanks in advance

Kind Regards
James

RE: Change Active Status of a Script - admin - 13.05.2021

Does the correct status show up after the page reload? Periodical script status reload (every 6 seconds) has been implemented for some time already.

RE: Change Active Status of a Script - jamesng - 13.05.2021

Unfortunately no, the refresh doesn't seem to make a difference (even after 30 secs).

I'm referring to the scripts by name (ie: 'Tesla Powerwall - Auto Set Reserved Percentage') - is this ok or should I be using an ID or something different?

is there an alternative way to change the status with the old firmware by directly updating the database.

Or is there a way I can test if the script.disable() is supported on my firmware?

Kind Regards
James

RE: Change Active Status of a Script - admin - 13.05.2021

Changing the DB value won't help because the script itself will not be stopped or started.
See what the enable/disable call returns. If script is found then enable returns true, disable returns false. Otherwise you will get nil + error message.

Code:
res, err = script.enable('SCRIPT NAME HERE')

log(res, err)

Hi

Here is the output of the your test code - it's working

Code:
TEST 13.05.2021 18:43:24

* arg: 1

  * bool: true

* arg: 2

  * nil

I found the error in my earlier code too .. working function below

Code:
-- Change active status of script

function enableScript(scriptname, active)

  if active == true then

   script.enable(scriptname)

   log('Script "' .. scriptname .. '" is active') 

  else

   script.disable(scriptname)

    log('Script "' .. scriptname .. '" is disabled')

  end

end

Many thanks

Kind Regards

Im just a beginner, but i hope you will help me.

I will activate and disable a 'Resident script' depending on a feedback object of a output.
the group object is 1/4/53 (bedroom [fb])
when this object is true i will run a script to activate the 'Resident script' called 'bedroom [fb], turn off'
and the same but turn it off by the same group adress
when this object is false i will run a script to disable the 'Resident script' called 'bedroom [fb], turn off'

I saw you will do the same, but i dont know how to use this script.

RE: Change Active Status of a Script - admin - 12.10.2021

Simply create an event script attached to a 1-bit boolean object and put this into the editor.

Code:
enable = event.getvalue()

script.set('bedroom [fb], turn off', enable)

WoW thanks, so fast i wish i was good as you are Heart

just another question, just curious, what is the different between the 2 scripts.
or what does do the other script of Topic Starter?

RE: Change Active Status of a Script - KoBra - 21.01.2022

I tried to enable and disable a resident PID script with a event script on a virtual object but i can't get it to work.

Code:
enable = event.getvalue('32/1/59')

script.set('PID, turn off', enable)

RE: Change Active Status of a Script - admin - 22.01.2022

Your resident script probably is not called "PID, turn off". Also the group address is not needed for event.getvalue().

Thanks, that was the only combination i didn't test.
