Set the colour from a vb.net script

[alexbk66]

Yes, I call plugin functions in the JowieHue and Pushover plugins

Can you please post the examples how you call the functions

Sure. I use hs.PluginFunction................

For Pushover:

Dim CO(8) as object
CO(0) = "All Clients"
CO(1) = "Zappi is waiting for surplus."
CO(2) = ""
CO(3) = "normal"
CO(4) = "magic"
CO(5) = Nothing
CO(6) = Nothing
CO(7) = Nothing
hs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", CO)

For JowieHue:

Dim Animations() as string = hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "GetAnimations", Nothing) 'get the list of animations

Thank you.

Please update to ver 4.0.0.21 (TmDS error should be fixed too).

In all my plugins you can access device functions via PluginFunction by appending Ex to the function name and passing first arg. device ref., i.e. the color device has SetColorHex function, so to set the color to red (FF0000) use the following (second arg. 0 you can use to set the color by unsigned integer value, instead of the color string, but I never tried)

&shs.PluginFunction("AK Ikea", "", "SetColorHexEx",  new object[] {3368, 0, "FF0000"});

The above code will call device 3368: SetColorHex(0, "FF0000")

Note, you can use either root light ref. or the "custom color" device ref.

Hi Alex

I tried two combinations but nothing positive to report I'm afraid. My attempts and the errors are below:

Attempt 1
-------------
shs.PluginFunction("AK Ikea", "", "SetColorHexEx", new object[] {2217, 0, "FF0000"})

Error
Running script(2) &shs.PluginFunction("AK Ikea", "", "SetColorHexEx", new object[] {2217, 0, "FF0000"}), init error: Expected ')'


Attempt 2
-------------
shs.PluginFunction("AK Ikea", "", "SetColorHexEx", {2217, 0, "FF0000"})

Error
Running script(2) &shs.PluginFunction("AK Ikea", "", "SetColorHexEx", {2217, 0, "FF0000"}), init error: Invalid character

Scripting is not my area of expertise. There's a few options for different scripting engines, i.e. hs, shs, nhs, the syntax should match the engine language, i.e. VB.NET, C#, etc.

Attempt 1 is using C#, but missing semicolon at the end.
