GetCBusByKW - Multiple args

Hi All,

Does anybody know how I can pass GetCBusByKW a longer list of args other than just 2 (which seems to work)..?
I have a function which pokes the correct data into MQTT auto-discover - works a treat by the way!!
As I augment my function to cater for different types of device, I've hit a wall.

Code:

function mqttdiscover()
    cbusdump = GetCBusByKW({"MQTT_Light","MQTT_Window","MQTT_Exhaust","MQTT_Blind"}, 'or')  -- THIS DOES NOT WORK BEYOND 2 ARGS --
    log("MQTT cover/window/exhaust - starting the auto-discovery build")

    for key1, object in pairs(cbusdump) do
      objectname = object["name"]
      objectnet = object["address"][1]
      objectapp = object["address"][2]
      objectgroupid = object["address"][3]
        
      for key2, keyword in pairs(object["keywords"]) do
        if keyword == "MQTT_Light" then
          if debuglog then log("Discovered MQTT_Light: "..objectgroupid) end
          objectid = "cbus_mqtt_light_" .. objectnet .. "_" .. objectapp .. "_" .. objectgroupid
          payload = {
            ["name"] = objectname,
            ["unique_id"] = objectid,
            ["cmd_t"] = "cbus/write/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/switch",
            ["stat_t"] = "cbus/read/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/state",
            ["bri_stat_t"] = "cbus/read/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/level",
            ["bri_cmd_t"] = "cbus/write/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/ramp",
            ["pl_on"] = "ON",
            ["pl_off"] = "OFF",
            ["on_cmd_type"] = "brightness"
          }
          haintegrationtype = "light"
        end

          if keyword == "MQTT_Window" then
            if debuglog then log("Discovered MQTT_Window: "..objectgroupid) end
            objectid = "cbus_mqtt_window_" .. objectnet .. "_" .. objectapp .. "_" .. objectgroupid
            payload = {
              ["name"] = objectname,
              ["unique_id"] = objectid,
              ["dev_cla"] = "window",
              ["position_topic"] = "cbus/read/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/level",
              ["set_pos_t"] = "cbus/write/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/ramp",
              ["pos_open"] = 255,
              ["pos_clsd"] = 0,
              ["availability"] = { ["topic"] = "cbus/read/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/availability" }
            }
            haintegrationtype = "cover"
          end

          if keyword == "MQTT_Exhaust" then
            if debuglog then log("Discovered MQTT_Exhaust: "..objectgroupid) end
            objectid = "cbus_mqtt_exhaust_" .. objectnet .. "_" .. objectapp .. "_" .. objectgroupid
            payload = {
              ["name"] = objectname,
              ["unique_id"] = objectid,
              ["cmd_t"] = "cbus/write/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/switch",
              ["stat_t"] = "cbus/read/" .. objectnet .. "/" .. objectapp .. "/" .. objectgroupid .. "/state",
              ["pl_on"] = "ON",
              ["pl_off"] = "OFF"             
            }
            haintegrationtype = "fan"
          end

          if keyword == "MQTT_Blind" then
            -- do something
          end
        end

        local jsonpayload = json.encode( payload )
        local publishtopic = mqtt_autodiscover_topic .. "/" .. haintegrationtype .. "/" .. objectid .. "/config"
    
        if debuglog then log("Complete topic and JSON encoded BLOB for group "..objectgroupid, publishtopic, jsonpayload ) end
        client:publish(publishtopic, jsonpayload, 1, true)
      end
    end

Any ideas?!!?

Cheers,

i did some testing, i can receive more than 2 args in the GetCBusByKW() function no problem

cbusdump = GetCBusByKW({"MQTT_Window", "Fan_Speed", "Bathroom","MQTT_Blind", "Kitchen" }, 'or')
log(cbusdump)

I dont have any tags called MQTT_Window or MQTT_Blind in my project, but i did receive all other objects with the other valid tags in the cbusdump table.

maybe add some logging, to see when the breakdown happens,

also objectname = object["name"] dosnt always exist (well not for me anyway) eg for user parameter and measurement application the value "name" in the table is nil
you could try commenting this out and see if anything changes?

you could also add some checking eg

if objectname then -- continue on as there is a value that is not nil inside variable objectname

end
