Add tag from script

Does anyone know how to add a tag to the tag map via script?

A group can be created using grp.create() but Im finding the name doesn’t appear in the objects list, it ends up getting the group address number.

the name seems to be taken from the tag map.

I can call cbuslib and use cbuslib.Addtag() but it doesn’t seem to be passing the name correctly addtag takes 6 arguments where the second should be the name.

 

Hi Diggerz,

Its been a while since I played with this function however I vaguely recall a cache clear was required to see the tag map update after running the script.
If that doesn't work I can see if I can dig out my user function and see how I was actioning.

function insertCbusTag(mytagid,mytagtype,mytag,mynet,myapp,mygrp,mysubgrp)
res, err = db:insert('cbus_tag_map', {
tagid = mytagid,
tagtype = mytagtype,
tag = mytag,
net = mynet,
app = myapp,
grp = mygrp,
subgrp = mysubgrp
})
end

INFO

mytagtype N = Network eg 0, A = Application, G = Group.,L = Level
mytag = name
mytagid = 0 if mytagtype = N
mytagid = 56 if mytagtype = A

To add a Cbus group in Lighting

insertCbusTag(66,"G","Kitchen Lights",0,56,,)

 

You could also now use webrequest?

Code:

webrequest = require('webrequest')

data = {
  tagtype = 'L',
  net = 0,
  app = 56,
  objectType = '',
  grp = 8,
  tagid = 2,
  tag = 'LevelTwo',
  id = 0
}

res, err = webrequest('cbustagmap', 'save', { data = data })
log(res, err)

 

Thanks this gives me plenty to go on,

I also found grp.createcbustag()

grp.createcbustag({
tagtype = "G",
tag = "MyTagName",
net = 0,
app = 56,
tagid = 123,
id = 0, -- setting this to 0 will allow the DB id to take the next available number
})
