Hi

I want to make somewhat more complex script, but my coding skills are more “copy-paste & modify” then to build something from scratch.

Are there any way I can make a flow in Homey, and then open it in scripteditor and modify?

Hi @oPzOpZ,

On GitHub there are some examples. MAybe it will help you!
I never used it, because I don’t know something I can’t, with the available apps.

WOW, when you’ve installed the app, you could go to homeyscript.athom.com to create script. There are the same examples.

I have wrote small script to calculate dew temperature and vapour pressure based on environmental temperature and relative humidity. Now I want to set and read variables from Homey Logic, but I do not know how to do that. I have already searched the forums. Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance.

hi all…

after updating to 2.0, device.state.onoff is throwing an error as an unknown property.

i tried looking at the api but cant seem to find a replacement… anyone can point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance

Try device.capabilitiesObj.onoff.value

thanks. took me a long time but i found it as well. the documentation is not very good at the moment

HomeyScript uses the Web API, for which documentation can be found here. But I agree, it’s not very good.

Here’s the specific documentation for devices: https://developer.athom.com/docs/api/HomeyAPI.ManagerDevices.Device.html

thanks very much @robertklep

I have just updated to Homey 2.0 and have noticed that some of my HomeyScript scripts do not work anymore because of API changes. I could fix almost all of them with the help of the documentation, however I can one script I cannot fix: in this script I have checked the battery status of all devices. In case of low battery warnings I have set the screensaver to red and have added a notification to Homey.

Both of these do not work with 2.0:

  • The screensaver can be set with Homey.ledring.setOptionScreensaver. However, if I use this method, I only receive the error: “You have no access to do this.”
  • The notification is even more trickier, I cannot seem to find a method that corresponds to Homey.notifications.addNotification which I have used in the script.

Does anyone have an idea?

I have found a workaround - Homeyscript only sets a variable and a second flow reacts to the change of the variable and does what I need.

13

How do you set a variable with Homeyscript? Can’t seem to find that in the docs…

14

I am still using BetterLogic variables, an example script can be found in this topic: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3666/homeyscript-share-your-scripts-main-discussion-topic/p2

(just search for “betterlogic”)

With version 1.5 you could set a variable with setTagValue

let dayOfYear = testDay.getDayOfYear();
await setTagValue(name, {type: "number", title: "CV_On_Day"}, dayOfYear );

With version 2.0 you’ll receive a Script Error: Cannot set value, token is not registered

Wait, Go in the app to More, Logic, then create variable.
Then you can use it in HomeyScript with setTagValue
:beers:

17

nope, using await setTagValue("listalarm", {type: "text", title: "listalarm"}, sum); returns an error, without the await it just doesn’t set the value in the variable. :cry:

Darn, I guess it’s just broken.

I did send a request to Athom for not being able to restart apps in HomeyScript. HomeyScript generates an error: You have no access to do this.

Homey.apps.restartApp({id: 'nl.scanno.mqtt'});

Hello I am a complete new to this so I try copy modify I found an example on a old forum but then when tested I got measure_battery undefined.
Is it possible to get a copy of your script?’
how to find what data that can be found?
on https://developer.athom.com/docs/api/HomeyAPI.ManagerDevices.Device.html
I found some general data that could be found but not battery status

Here is a sniplet which logs battery status for all devices (works with Homey 2.x for me):

let devices = await Homey.devices.getDevices();

const MEASURE_BATTERY = 'measure_battery';
const ALARM_BATTERY = 'alarm_battery';

function logBatteryLevels() {
    _.forEach(devices, device => {
        if (device.capabilitiesObj[MEASURE_BATTERY]) {
            console.log(`Device ${device.name} has battery level: ${device.capabilitiesObj[MEASURE_BATTERY].value}`);       
        } if (device.capabilitiesObj[ALARM_BATTERY]) {
            console.log(`Device ${device.name} has ${device.capabilitiesObj[ALARM_BATTERY].value ? 'battery alarm' : 'no battery alarm'}`);            
        }
    });
}
