Get User Object Name via Script

Looking how to get the object name from a user parameter, was looking at something like.
get_event_data = grp.find(event.dst)
if get_event_data.value > 50 then
alert("The temperature level in room " .. get_event_data.name .. " is too high: " .. get_event_data.value)
end
now the get_event_data.value works fine, but there is no name field in table brought back from grp.find(event.dst)

Any advise on how to get the name.

 

Yeah it’s stupid aye….
the cbus tag map is disassociated from the object name, you would think that this would not be the case but it is…

objects and cbus tag is 2 different things internally in the database,

I am unsure on what condition any name is written to the object name parameter, i have had various different things happen across a number on nac installs… so terribly inconsistent results.
this is my work around, to manually write the name to
The object database, use at your own risk and definitely take a backup before fiddling the database…

id = CBusGetLightingID(0, 250, 50)

db:update('objects', { name = 'Dining light' }, { id = id })

I think you could also use
grptag = GetCBusGroupTag(0, 250, 2)
log(grptag)

not as elegant as having one Lua call return all data from the function though…

but ultimately the ga tag name and the object name should have the same value...

 

many thanks, will give it a try tomorrow.
