Can anyone help with a HA query. I posted a little while back and @
giftie helped a lot. I am setup in my new home now and everything is up and running including CE. I just still cannot get my LightwaveRF lights to work with the HA script. I know it is something simple I am over looking.
The Lightwave wifi link waits for data packets to be received via UDP on 255.255.255.255 port 9760 then activates the lights depending upon data received. For example I have an app called Irule that I use to control all my HA and media. In the app I have a gateway configured as above ip:255.255.255.255 port:9760 Protocol:UDP a device is assigned which simply sends a data packet to the wifi link. (Example !R2D1F0 = !Room 2 Device 1 Function 0 (OFF) 1= (ON).
So my theory goes that to duplicate the apps abilities I should be able to paste the code: utils.broadcastUDP( "!R2D1F0”, port=9760 ) within the Home_Automation.py script, at each trigger point like so:
# This module's future home should be inside userdata/addon_data/script.cinema.experience/ha_scripts
# to make sure it does not get over written when updating the script

BASE_RESOURCE_PATH = sys.modules["__main__"].BASE_RESOURCE_PATH

The HA script is enabled in CE settings but can anyone shed any light on why the commands are not being received ? Do I need to put a tick at the end of each "Trigger at the start of" option in the HA settings ?also does the utils.broadcastUDP automatically broadcast over 255.255.255.255 or do I need to tell it somewhere in the script? any and all advice is welcome.
I should mention that the idea behind this is that once the feature presentation starts the lights come down. They will come up if paused, down if resumed and up at the end of the script.
