Mass generating new GAs via script

[buuuudzik]

Here there is a script for mass generate new GAs via script according to specified template and rules. It can save a lot of time and clicking but before do some BACKUP.

Code:

-- GENERATE all group addresses according to specified template and conditions
firstId, lastId = 1, 10 -- e.g. Blind1 to Blind10

canChangeMiddle = true -- if yes can change e.g. 0/0/255 -> 0/1/0
canChangeMain = false -- if yes can change e.g. 0/7/255 -> 1/0/0
offset = 10 -- address offset between first GA in 2 devices e.g. Blind41_up/down - Blind40_up/down = 0/0/20 - 0/0/10 = 10

curMain, curMiddle, curSub = 0, 0, 0 -- initial GA e.g. 1, 2, 3 means 1/2/3
numberOfAddedGAs, numberOfNotAddedGAs = 0, 0 -- init the counters of new or updated objects and not created objects
for curId = firstId, lastId, 1 do
 curSubMax = curSub + 7 -- maximum subaddress in current iteration
 
 if curSubMax > 255 and canChangeMiddle then
   if ((curMiddle + 1) <= 7) then curSub, curMiddle = 0, curMiddle + 1
   else
     if canChangeMain and (curMain + 1) <= 15 then curSub, curMiddle, curMain = 0, curMiddle + 1, curMain + 1
     else log('Cannot increment main group.'); break end
   end
 elseif (curSubMax > 255 and not canChangeMiddle) then log('Cannot increment middle group.'); break end
 
 curMainAndMiddle = curMain .. '/' .. curMiddle .. '/'
 template = {
   {datatype = dt.bool, address = curMainAndMiddle .. curSub + 1, name = 'Blind' .. curId .. '_up/down'},
   {datatype = dt.bool, address = curMainAndMiddle .. curSub + 2, name = 'Blind' .. curId .. '_step/stop'},
   {datatype = dt.uint8, address = curMainAndMiddle .. curSub + 3, name = 'Blind' .. curId .. '_scene'},
   {datatype = dt.scale, address = curMainAndMiddle .. curSub + 4, name = 'Blind' .. curId .. '_height'},
   {datatype = dt.scale, address = curMainAndMiddle .. curSubMax, name = 'Blind' .. curId .. '_height status'} -- Maximum subaddress
 };
 
 for k,v in ipairs(template) do
   res = grp.create(v)
   if res then numberOfAddedGAs = numberOfAddedGAs + 1 else numberOfNotAddedGAs = numberOfNotAddedGAs + 1 end
 end
 
 curSub = curSub + offset
end

message = ''
if numberOfAddedGAs > 0 then message = 'Successfully added or updated ' .. numberOfAddedGAs .. ' new GAs. ' end
if numberOfNotAddedGAs > 0 then message = message .. 'There was ' .. numberOfNotAddedGAs .. ' errors(not added or updated objects).' end
if numberOfAddedGAs > 0 or numberOfNotAddedGAs > 0 then log(message) end
