Driver programming question

[niebais]

Ok,

I've looked around the documentation and have finally decided I need to see if somebody else knows how to do this. I am in the process of programming a new driver which needs run continually and start when the control 4 system starts. How do I do that? I see a lot of drivers which require you to push a button or something similar, but this process doesn't need or require human interaction.

All drivers that are loaded into a project 'start' when the Control4 system starts.

That is, their code gets executed when the driver is loaded by Director.

If you want your driver to do something after that code gets executed, you would typically set a timer in your Lua code, so your code would get executed at some point later, after the initialization.

Thanks for the quick reply! Ok, so I understand that I would add an event timer in my code somewhere like this: exitTimer = C4:AddTimer(1,"SECONDS",true).

Where would I put the timer?

I can only assume I would put it here:

function ExecuteCommand(strCommand, tParams)

Is there a specific command action I'm looking for on startup? For example, in this case I have a relay device.

Anything in the body (outside of any functions) gets executed at startup.

hi,

I'm using NVR and camera for ACTI in control4 system. But i can't find any NVR driver. How can I use it. Help me.

[bsalvador]

Only dont forget to write the executed code when the timer expires.

function ontimerexpired(idtimer)

if (idtimer == exitTimer) then

--execute your code here!!!

end

end
