Really? Sounds pretty odd to me, I get the 20 volts but AC seems weird to me. Is that 60hz just like the grid?

Well, you can wire it straight to the button in most cases. But perhaps your door bell has a slightly more eccentric make

Most door bells I've seen here are 12v dc

That's quite a cool hack

I would say a universal sensor is easier though: https://www.fibaro.com/en/products/univ ... ry-sensor/

What also works great with the ladies is a few automated curtains combined with domoticz and homekit-bridge.

Nothing gets that engine going better than "Hey siri, close the curtains" and seeing the curtains close in front of your eyes

You, sir, are a poet Thank you for making me smile this day

And yes, you may call me wolphie (you wouldn't be the only one either).

Yes, that's exactly what it's supposed to do.
I've actually done a little test and that's what happens for me:


As you can see, it's only triggering the volume changed event when it's actually changing (I pressed the button twice in the screenshot above).

The reason for that is that you might wish your code to respond to any volume change (i.e. MVL) or simply to a specific volume only (i.e. MVL32). It's probably a design decision made by my predecessor a long time ago so I'm a bit worried about changing it (it could break people's scripts) but I ...

Yes indeed. When it comes to EventGhost listen to the amazing answers by kgschlosser

Thanks for your awesome work!

I typed that one from my phone, so here's a version with a bit of code to illustrate:


some_global = 123

# This works:
def some_function():
print('some global: ', some_global)

# This doesn't because you're trying to use a non-existing local variable called some_global
def some_not_working ...

Variables are global is they are declared outside of functions/classes/etc.
If you want to use global variables inside of a function you can use the global statement. Without it you can read global variables but not write them.

The name of the variable has no influence. The exception to this is ...

Ah, now I see what you mean. He probably won't need it here but it's useful to know indeed

Similarly, don't forget about unichr for the unicode version of that command

Yes, but is it relevant here? (assuming you meant octal btw)

LOL

You're welcome

It depends on the programming language, but for Python you can do the following

In that case it's simple hex to decimal calculation actually :)
0x58 = 88
Most programming languages have a feature built-in for that but effectively it comes down to 16 * the first digit + the second digit.
In this case: 5*16 + 8

The total range in your case:

0x00 = 0
0x01 = 1
0x02 = 2
0x03 = 3 ...
