CQC & Event Ghost Read current state - jdmevo123 - 12-05-2013

Hi All,

I am stuck at the moment with an evenghost issue.

I have installed the plugin and trying to identify how to send the current state of power.

I have setup a macro to read current power state and placed a python command to print the state to verify. This all works.

I then added a CQC action to send power state and put on value 1 to send to CQC.

However this doesnt work as it always sends the on command. How do i send a value to CQC based on the current state? I.e. 1 for on and 0 for off.

Thanks

Dale

If you are using a User Action event, you would just select SendEvent in EventGhost and fill in something like:

Event Type: Power
Event Data: 1

Then you would create a Triggered Event in CQC use the statement below to pull the data:

Code:
Is User Action Event From <Driver Moniker Name>

Code:

TrigEvent::GetUserActionVals(LVar:EventType, LVar:EventData) 

System::LogMsg(Test Action, 0, EventType: %(LVar:EventType) EventData: %(LVar:EventData), Status)

Thanks Wuench, just want to confirm, how do i setup the above code in a triggered event?

Open the CQC Admin Interface
Select Managed Scheduled/Triggered Events
Select the Triggered Events Tab
Click Add New
For first trigger select Is User Action From
Right Click on Device: Field and Select your EventGhost Driver
Fill the in Title (anything you want)
Click Edit Action
Enter the commands

Code:
TrigEvent::GetUserActionVals(LVar:EventType, LVar:EventData) 

  System::LogMsg(Test Action, 0, EventType: %(LVar:EventType) EventData: %(LVar:EventData), Status)

Click Save
Click Save

That code just pastes the data into the CQC log, you will need to add whatever commands you want to do something more useful.
