Help would be very much appreciated.

Brett many thanks for your quick response.

I have down loaded and installed the latest version (3.0.0 Build: 2015.2646) of Corona SDK and placed the hahlib folder in the resources directory.

Have had a very quick play and pleased to report I am getting further than I was.

Unfortunately will not be able to test further until next week.

Many thanks kema...

Garry apologise in my haste I did not read and digest your post before I commented. Hopefully the applet below is not too far off the mark. The lines I have added are highlighted in italics below. I have borrowed this from another post on the forum as I am not sure of the exact syntax required to receive and pass on the incoming temperature text value. Please excuse my lack of lua expertise, I do not normally raise a post until I have thoroughly researched the forum exhausted my limited knowledge.

module(...,package.seeall) 

require("xap") 

require("xap.bsc")

require("string")

rex = require("rex_posix") 

info={

   version="KM.3", description="Alias FishFood All"

}

 pat={

    [rex.new("(relay) ([1-4]) (on|off)")]=function(m) rfRelayCmd(m) end,

    [rex.new("(rf) ([0-9]+) (on|off)")]=function(m) rfRelayCmd(m) end,

    ["fishfeed"] = function() fishfeed() end,

    ["allOFF"] = function() allOFFcmd() end,

    [rex.new("tweet (.*)")]=function(m) tweet(m) end,

    [rex.new("temperature (.*)")]=function(m) temperature(m) end,

    ["reboot"] = function() os.execute("reboot") end} 

function allOFFcmd()

bsc.sendState("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:rf.*", "off")

end 

function tweet(m)

  local msg = unpack(m)

  bsc.sendText("dbzoo.livebox.Twitter",msg)

end 

function rfRelayCmd(t)

  local addr1,addr2,state = unpack(t)

  bsc.sendState(string.format("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:%s.%s",addr1,addr2),state)

end 

function temperature(msg)

sendBscCmd("dbzoo.livebox.kema:Heating.thermostat","state="..msg)

end

function fishfeed()

bsc.sendState("bscmsg -t dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:kema7.relay1 -s on")

FfeedOffTime = os.time()  + 40 -- 30 seconds

xap.Timer(CountLoop, 10):start(true) --start timer fire immediately

end

function CountLoop(timer)

RunningTime = os.difftime(FfeedOffTime,os.time()) -- in seconds

if RunningTime <= 0 then

bsc.sendState("bscmsg -t dbzoo.livebox.jeenode:kema7.relay1 -s off")

RunningTime = 0

timer:delete()

end

end

function aliasEngine(frame)

  local alias = frame:getValue("command","text")

  for r,f in pairs(pat) do

      if type(r) == "string" then

         if r == alias then

            f()

         end

      else

        p={r:match(alias)}

        if #p > 0 then

            f(p)

        end

      end

  end

end

function init()

  local f = xap.Filter()

  f:add("xap-header","class","alias")

  f:add("command","text",xap.FILTER_ANY)

  f:callback(aliasEngine)

end

Many Thanks

Garry I have had two major computer problems this week, CPU failure on our house server due to fan failure and to compound this, I was infected by a nasty virus while installing Flash software on a replacement machine. Luckily I have backups of most files.

Please bear with me as I will not be able to test your recommendations until next week.

Many thanks for your help and support.

Brett many thanks for the link.

Garry I have followed your instructions in your post but still cannot get it working. When the slider is moved I can see the following message in XFX corona/demo.

xap-header 

{ 

uid=FF123400 

source=dbzoo.corona.app

hop=1

class=xAPBSC.cmd

target=dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard:Thermostat

v=12

}

output.state.1

{

id=*

text=15

}

 If I send the following "bscmsg -t dbzoo.livebox.kema:Heating.thermostat -s on -x 19.5" from the command prompt I get the following message in xfx viewer

xap-header

{

uid=FF00DF00

source=dbzoo.livebox.bscmsg

hop=1

class=xAPBSC.cmd

target=dbzoo.livebox.kema:Heating.thermostat

v=12

}

output.state.1

{

state=on

text=00.1

id=*

}

This has an extra line "state=on" which I do not get from the slider xfx viewer. 

Have no idea if I am going in the correct direction with this comparison.

Many thanks

I am slightly confused by your last post regarding removing “.1”.

If I leave in “.1” all seems to work OK.

If I remove “.1” then I get a similar error as before.

Below is the code that seems to work

                local f = xap.Filter()

                f:add("xap-header","source",opt.xapTarget)

                f:add("xap-header","class","xAPBSC.event")

                f:callback(function(frame)

                              local temp = frame:getValue("output.state.1","text")

                              if temp == nil then

                                return 

                              end

 Many Thanks kema

Brett here is the error I am seeing in the corona simulator output.

I am using the slider 2 app, which I have adapted to be used in the multi scene program. Please find attached to this post.

This is the XFX message seen at corona.

xap-header

{

uid=FF123400

source=dbzoo.corona.demo

hop=1

class=xAPBSC.cmd

target=dbzoo.livebox.kema:Heating.thermostat

v=12

}

output.state.1

{

id=*

text=6

state=on

}

This is the message seen at  xfx kema:Heating.thermostat

xap-header

{

v=12

hop=1

uid=FF00D802

class=xAPBSC.event

source=dbzoo.livebox.kema:Heating.thermostat

}

output.state

{

state=on

text=6

}

I am not quite sure what you mean by the exact error message, as I have already posted the run time error message in the corona simulator. Do I need to capture some sort of debug  message.

As you are aware my coding experience is at the embryotic stage.

If you require any further information please let me know.

Many thanks
