Documentation Question

[mterry63]

Hello and happy Easter.

I'm trying to configure an event with multiple device commands, and I can't make "send a string of commands" work. What is the format of the command strings? I'm assuming the same names in the single command dropdown list with some delimiter, but what's the delimiter?

I must not have it right, as I can't collapse the command when I'm done.

Right now it requires a very specific format until I can figure out the best way to build a ui.

Note that currently all commands must be from the same device. I will be adjusting it in the near future to support sending commands to more than one device.

Thanks for the prompt response! I'll give it a shot.

I'm running plugin version 3.0.3.1. Using the format you documented, the following commands won't work in the "Send a string of commands".

[{Command:"Exit",Wait:2000}{Command:"DirectionDown"}]

But I can enter this and it's accepted:

[{Command:"Exit",Wait:2000}]

The whole thing I want to add is this, which also isn't accepted:

[{Command:"Exit",Wait:2000}{Command:"DirectionDown",Repeat:3,RepeatDelay:750,Wait:1000}{Command:"Select"}]

These are commands from a FireTV device. I have a working event with individual commands working fine.

Maybe I'm missing something and new eyes are necessary.

[sirmeili]

Between each {} pair make sure to put a comma.

[{Command:"Exit",Wait:2000},{Command:"DirectionDown",Repeat:3 ,RepeatDelay:750,Wait:1000},{Command:"Select"}]

OK, but I'm sure you're aware, the examples in the link you pointed out earlier in the thread don't have commas in between the commands.

The command is accepted when I enter it that way, but does nothing when executed.

I have 3 lines in the event.

Start an activity
Wait 5 seconds
Send a string of commands

The activity execution works, but the string of commands doesn't seem to do anything. I enabled debugging in the plugin and this is what resulted when I executed the event:

Hmm... I wonder if something stripped them out. I will fix the plug-in and the examples tonight.

I fixed the documentation. I have no excuse for that, I just completely flubbed it..LOL.

As for the plugin, I will release 3.0.3.4 tonight which fixes this.

[mterry63]

That's great, thanks for the fast response.

I tried my best to get it out last night .I actually have all the work done, but I have to package it up. Unfortunately, our 4 y/o who is not wanting to go to bed drew my attention away from finishing up the release. I'll put it out tonight.

[mterry63]

No worries, I have a workaround with the single command per line event. Thanks for the prompt support.

[sirmeili]

This is fixed and in 3.0.3.4.
