The original thread shows 3 arguments passed to the python script.

You didn’t show the command you’re executing, but it appears to not be passing 3 arguments.

this is the error:

If you add this code above the first line in your “Toggle” block, you should be able to see the arguments the script is receiving.

index=0;
for larg in sys.argv:
  print "Arg", index, larg
  index = index+1

Also, you should check your thing definitions in the running OH instance to verify they match what you’ve shown is in your intertechno.things file.
