Hi,

How should I write a dimmervalue to a KNX-dimmer from rules-script?

I have tried this, but it does not work:

Item:
Dimmer Loft_living_spot “Loftliving light” (gLoftliving, gLightsSecondFloor) [ “Lighting” ] { knx=“1.001:1/0/2+1/0/16, 5.001:1/0/3+1/0/9” }

Rule:
rule "Test"
when
Item Loft_living_spot received command ON
then
var Number LightIntensity1

LightIntensity1=90
while(LightIntensity1 > 0) {
	LightIntensity1=LightIntensity1-5
	sendCommand(Loft_living_spot, LightIntensity1)
	Thread::sleep(1000)
}

end

I can trigger the rule, but the spot does not dim…

Please use method instead of action:

rule "Test"
when
    Item Loft_living_spot received command ON
then
    var Number LightIntensity1
    LightIntensity1=90
    while(LightIntensity1 > 0) {
        LightIntensity1=LightIntensity1-5
        Loft_living_spot.sendCommand(LightIntensity1)
        Thread::sleep(1000)
    }
end

Thanks!

It still does not dim my spot…

I get this in my log, but the spots are not dimming, just turning off and on when i slide the switch in Basic UI:
