Stop a running script...?

[Moskus]

Hi Moskus,

I would set up a virtual device with two possible values: run and stop. Have your script check the value in its loop and if the value has changed to stop then terminate the script.

Yes, that's the solution I can think of too (or use a Global Variable), but I would suspect there is another way. It should be possible to do it using code.

The HS2 version of my sunshine alarm clock was pretty easy. Just a simple timer that increased the device value at a given interval. You can find it here:

I'm learning HS3 scripting (and plugin writing) so I'm converting my old scripts to HS3.

HS2 would only run one instance of the above mentioned script, meaning to stop it I could just call the Main sub again with a different parameter (to run it for another room, I had to make duplicates of the script).

However, that doesn't work anymore. So, how can I now terminate a running script?
