Hi,

Use the filters before changing tags on objects that already has tags.

Question : Why don't you want to use script for adding tags to objects? The only extra handling is creating a temp script container. There are very powerfull script commands to do this, do you know them?

Code:

grp.gettags(alias)
grp.addtags(alias, tags)
grp.removetags(alias, tags)
grp.removealltags(alias)
grp.settags(alias, tags) -- methode mass update uses, overwrite all existing tags

 
Some simple samples:
1) Add tags based on name (partial), existing tags will be untouched

Code:

-- Start address of objects
start_objectaddress = '1/1/1'

-- End address of objects
end_objectaddress = '15/7/255'

-- Set Tag(s)
tags = {'Tag 1' , 'Tag 2' , 'Tag 3'} -- Multiple tags

-- Calculate start address to numeric format
start_objectaddress = knxlib.encodega(start_objectaddress)

-- Calculate end address to numeric format
end_objectaddress = knxlib.encodega(end_objectaddress)

-- Get all objects
result = grp.all()

-- Loop through all objects
for _, object in ipairs(result) do
 
 -- Only update objects within the start - end range
 if object.id >= start_objectaddress and object.id <= end_objectaddress then
 
   -- Only add tags when object name partial matches
   partial = 'Test'
   
   if string.match(object.name, partial) then
      grp.addtags(knxlib.decodega(object.id), tags)
   end
   
 end
end

-- Self disable script
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

2) Add tags based on DPT, existing tags will be untouched

Code:

-- Start address of objects
start_objectaddress = '1/1/1'

-- End address of objects
end_objectaddress = '15/7/255'

-- Set Tag(s)
tags = 'Tag 1'  -- Single tag

-- Calculate start address to numeric format
start_objectaddress = knxlib.encodega(start_objectaddress)

-- Calculate end address to numeric format
end_objectaddress = knxlib.encodega(end_objectaddress)

-- Get objects by dtp type
result = grp.dpt(dt.float16, false) -- set to true for only exact dpt, now all 2 byte objects matches

-- Loop through all objects
for _, object in ipairs(result) do

 -- Only update objects within the start - end range
 if object.id >= start_objectaddress and object.id <= end_objectaddress then
    grp.addtags(knxlib.decodega(object.id), tags)
 end

end

-- Self disable script
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

BR,
