Espeasy does always send the "Off" command to Domoticz

Hi all, my wemos D1 mini is connected to a Nextion display. The display can change the idx and the value of the espeasy device (so it works), this is the log .....
- device.JPG (24.05 KiB) Viewed 6843 times
but this rule:
Code: Select all
on exDisplay#value do
if [exDisplay#value]="1"
publish domoticz/in,'{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 17, "switchcmd": "1" }'
else [exDisplay#value]="0"
publish domoticz/in,'{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 17, "switchcmd": "0" }'
endif
endon
sends always the "Off" if the value changes from 1 to 0 and from 0 to 1 too, and this is the Domoticz log......

I cannot solve this

You should use %eventvalue1% instead of [exDisplay#value]
And don't use quotes wrapped around the 0 and 1
So something like this will work probably:
Code: Select all
on exDisplay#value do
if %eventvalue1% = 0 or %eventvalue1% = 1
publish domoticz/in,'{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 17, "switchcmd": "%eventvalue1%" }'
endif
endon

Does the unit itself also act on the switching via the MQTT broker?
If so, then you may want to have a look at the documentation of the Domoticz Helper plugin:

No, it only should sends a command. The device is only connected to the display
Is it possible to send a http command like this ?
Code: Select all
http://192.168.0.13:8841/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=20&switchcmd=On
with this line i can obtain the light On

One simple way of debugging rules is to add logentry commands in the rules.
See:
https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... l-commands
For example:
Code: Select all
on exDisplay#value do
logentry,'exDisplay: %eventvalue1%'
if %eventvalue1% = 0 or %eventvalue1% = 1
publish domoticz/in,'{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 17, "switchcmd": "%eventvalue1%" }'
endif
endon
This will add log lines (at loglevel info) showing the event value, starting with the string: "exDisplay:"
You can also call sendToHttp, to call the http URL you mention.

Thankyou TD-er, i have this log, so now (reflashed espeasy to another device) the rule works. there is only the problem that Domoticz receive everytime the "Off" signal
Code: Select all
36867684: EVENT: exDisplay#idx=77
36867778: EVENT: exDisplay#value=1
36867785: ACT : logentry,'exDisplay: 1'
36867789: exDisplay: 1
36867799: ACT : publish domoticz/in,'{'command': 'switchlight', 'idx': 17, 'switchcmd': '1' }'
36868784: EVENT: exDisplay#idx=88
36868878: EVENT: exDisplay#value=0
36868884: ACT : logentry,'exDisplay: 0'
36868889: exDisplay: 0
36868900: ACT : publish domoticz/in,'{'command': 'switchlight', 'idx': 17, 'switchcmd': '0' }'

Starting with this:

I think you need to send On or Off to Domoticz, like below:
Code: Select all
on exDisplay#value do
logentry,'exDisplay: %eventvalue1%'
let,1,%eventvalue1%
if %eventvalue1% = 0 or %eventvalue1% = 1
publish domoticz/in,'{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 17, "switchcmd": "[var#1#o#c]" }'
endif
endon
That uses transformation 'o' to go from 0 -> OFF or 1-> ON, and justification 'c' to have first upper Off or On, as Domoticz expects it (AFAIK) (and the quotes are required to have valid Json).
Transformations can't be applied to %% variables, so first have to assign it to a variable using 'let'.

Just for completeness, see this explanation:
https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... red-values
I am not sure if Domoticz checks these parmeters case insensitive.
If it doesn't, then you might want to use the if statement to select different string values "On" and "Off"

Domoticz seems rather picky on these arguments, that's why it is treating anything not being "On" as an "Off" value
I've only been able to get that working properly by using these On (and Off) values, that why I suggest to use these formatting and justification options 'o' and 'c'
