Creating a Device Status Change Event

[Grant]

I'm trying to create a Device Status Change event in my script. I want it to trigger on ANY change. The documentation is not clear on how to designate that condition.

It looks like I need to set ev_abs_time to TYPE_STATUS_CHANGE(11) and ev_trig_hc to the device reference number. But, what do I set ev_trig_dc to?

Sorry it took so long to get an answer but I have been battling this for a while myself and finally figured it out. Here is the code and a list of what the different number will set trigger to.

ev.ev_abs_time = 11
ev.ev_trig_hc=ref
ev.ev_trig_dc="18"

1= all lights on
2= on
3= off
4= dim
5= bright
6= all lights off
7= extended
8= hail request
9= hail ack
10= preset dim
11= preset dim2
12= ex data xfer
13= status on
14= status off
15= status request
16= dim to off
17= unknown
18= any
19= value set
20= value increment
21= set to on
22= set to off
23= set to any status
24= value decrement

Hope this helps

Hi Grant,

I am not sure what you are trying to do here. The easy way is to use the command "SetDeviceStatus" then you state what you wish it set to.

Are you applying conditions to this happening? That should not be a problem, this is basic HS1 and works perfect with HS2.0 & .1

SetDeviceStatus is a built in HS command that will change the status of the device to whatever you wish.
