I’m increasingly reusing different scripts in projects and as some may know, it might be a tedious effort to create the different scripts and group addresses on each project.
I’m just wondering if there is a plan to create a sort of script.create function in the software in the near term?

Hi
Why would you want this?

I think the idea is clear. If you make a new visualisation for block of N buildings where all houses are the same but group addresses differs (because you use a numbering scheme) then you want to create only one visualisation and copy it N times. This tool is heavily missing at LM. What I suggested (unsuccessfully) was a set of scripts which parse the whole project to (many) Excel sheets. A system implementator can bulk modify what he wants and re-create the project back by another script.
LM5Lp, firmware: 2018.08.22 and 2021.12.15, FlashSYS v2, ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l), kernel 4.4.151 and 4.4.259

Thomas use case makes sense, but for me personally it would allow me to build one install script for repetitive functions that depends on event and resident/scheduled scripts and different group addresses that needs to be created.
It would also allow me to install functions remotely from a server and perhaps update scripts with a script.insert command.
I’m sure many users would benefit from this sort of functionality.

I like the idea of it, I'm sure it would be very useful.

Here's an example of how to create script from another script:
Code: data = {
-- either event, resident or scheduled
type = 'event',
-- unique script name
name = 'my script',
-- 1 = active, 0 = inactive
active = 1,
-- event script: group address or tag
-- resident script: sleep time in seconds (0..60)
-- scheduled script: execution date/time in CRON format
params = '1/1/1',
-- set to 1 to enable "execute on read" for event scripts
-- not used for resident and scheduled scripts
subparams = 0,
-- script Lua code
script = 'log(123)',
-- optional script category
category = '',
-- optional script description
description = '',
}
-- check for duplicate script with the same name
exists = script.get(data.name)
if not exists then
db:insert('scripting', data)
data.id = db:getlastautoid()
script.save(data, true)
script.reloadsingle(data)
end

Hi,
I am using this for for 'autosetup' LM with a startup (init) script and it has been very useful.
Is there any simular way to add functions to 'common functions' (or overwrite the file) ?

Use this:
Code: script.checkuserlib(common_functions_code)
script.reload()

Onto the next question;
Is it also possible to create user libraries with a script?

You can use webrequest library in latest firmware to emulate web UI requests:
Code: webrequest = require('webrequest')
-- user library name
libname = 'test'
-- create user library
params = {
data = {
id = 'user.' .. libname,
name = libname,
type = 'user',
source = true, -- keep source
load = false, -- autoload
description = 'test description',
}
}
res, err = webrequest('scripting', 'save', params)
log(res, err)
-- save user library source
params = {
data = {
id = 'user.' .. libname,
scriptonly = true,
},
script = [[
log('test user library')
]]
}
res, err = webrequest('scripting', 'save', params)
log(res, err)

Thank you again for the great help. Is this web request library documented anywhere? I would like to also create new Modbus-profiles and this would be very helpful.
I guess search is my friend: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthread.php?tid=4425
