Disabling events - Works!

[freeon]

Is there a way for an event to disable itself after it has run. I see an option to remove event after it has ran but I just want to disable it. Also is there a way to create an event that when triggered will enable or disable another event. I'm using HS3

You can add a one line script command to your event to disable it
ie: &hs.DisableEvent "name of event"

I created an event that is manually triggered. Checked "execute immediate script command" and put "&hs.DisableEvent "Morning" . When I manually trigger the event the log says the event was triggered and the script was run but it doesn't disable the morning event. Any ideas.

It doesn't work for me either.

[Rupp]

Does it work if you do not manually trigger? ie using a different trigger?

[freeon]

I created an event that would trigger the disabling event but that doesn't work either.

Sounds like it's time for a bugzilla ticket.

It's probably bug #1949 which I uncovered while tring to use BLRussound.

Hello,

You can use a script



Sub Main(ByVal Parm As Object)
hs.DisableEvent("test arduino pir met relais")
End Sub

Sure. But that doesn't change the fact that the run script command function is broken. Using scripts, you'd need dozens of tiny little ones for all kinds of mundane things.

Here's the bug report if anyone would like to add their weight to it. Maybe then it will get some attention.

Made a script and changed the name to one of my events but that didn't work either. The log shows the script ran but it doesn't disable the event

I just tested an event to disable another event and it worked just fine. The Event name is case sensitive in case you are keying this end and not cutting and pasting.

Not sure why but I have to refresh the page for it to show up as disabled. I'm assuming that even thought it doesn't show as disable on the web interface until i refresh it's still disabled.

Yes, it's disabled. I tried running the event to verify.

How exactly did you go about this? With the script command you mentioned earlier?


EDIT:

I just tried it again (the script command) and it works.

I must have done something wrong the first time around...
Woops.
