I'm sure (almost) this script worked in 10.5 but not since going 10.6.
What did I screw up?

Code: Select all

if (value of variable "garageTemperature" is greater than 64) then
    -- do whatever you need to do here
    turn on "GI10 FanGarageUp"
    log "GI10 FanGarageUp ON - temp is " & value of variable "garageTemperature"
else
    turn off "GI10 FanGarageUp"
    log "GI10 FanGarageUp OFF - temp is " & value of variable "garageTemperature"
end if


Produces this error:

Code: Select all

  Error              script error: around characters 22 to 23
  Error              script error: Expected “,” but found “"”. (-2741)


I'm basically turning a fan on/off based on variable garageTemperature. The fan is plugged into an Insteon appliance module.

TIA

If you try to run that in an external script (or from Script Editor) you'll get that error because it's not inside a tell to IndigoServer block. I also ran it as an embedded script in an action group and it executed fine.

Where/how is the script actually executing?

It's a" Trigger" on "variable changes", "Always", "Execute AppleScript" and the code is "Embedded".

Odd. Like I said, it's working for me. Try these and let me know the results of each:

1) Select the trigger event and click on the "Execute Actions Now" button at the bottom of the screen.
2) Open the trigger event, select the Actions tab, make some trivial change to the script (add then remove a space or something) and click the "Compile" button.
3) Enclose the whole script in a tell to IndigoServer block then click on the "Run" button.

I'll try that in a bit. Thanks Jay. Yard work first while it's still sunny out

Are you running 10.5 or 10.6?

10.6.1

This is frustrating.

Same error, no matter what.
Adding a comma after variable moved the error but no clean compile without commenting the 'turn off' in the else.

I'm going to go back to the mini tomorrow, if it's inside weather , and start over. It's still on 10.5.

Jay, is your 10.6.1 a clean 10.6 install or upgrade.
Mine was an upgrade. Wonder if that could have caused the grief.
Grrrr.

Have you tried a Restart of the Mac? Maybe it has gotten into a bad state.

Did another in case I had missed a restart earlier in the heat of battle.

No diff

Back on the Mini, 10.5.8, Indigo 4 beta 2, 2412 controller.
Will upgrade to beta 4 once I get the Mini settled down.
iMac (the 'troublemaker') is turned off, 2414 unplugged from hydro.

Just a double-check.
After getting the Mini up I started a re-sync. Am I doing it correctly?
Interface --> Start Sync INSTEON Device Links...
or should I be using the Sync in Preferences --> Interface Options?

The script works as an embedded. Wasn't dreaming/having a nightmare after all

Do the first one from the Interface menu. It'll have an option to sync everything. The one in the Interface Options dialog only syncs the PowerLinc's links and not the remote modules.

Lucked out. Didi it right

Thanks
