Execute

The Smart Home project’s system provides the ability to execute arbitrary files and scripts synchronously and asynchronously.

To achieve this, the following methods are available:

1. ExecuteSync(file, args): This method allows you to execute files and scripts synchronously. You pass the file name or path to the script as the file argument and any required arguments as an object args. Here’s an example:

   const file = 'script.js';
   const args = { param1: 'value1', param2: 'value2' };
   
   ExecuteSync(file, args);
   

2. ExecuteAsync(file, args): This method allows you to execute files and scripts asynchronously. The file and args arguments have the same structure as in the ExecuteSync method. Here’s an example:

   const file = 'script.js';
   const args = { param1: 'value1', param2: 'value2' };
   
   ExecuteAsync(file, args);
   

Both the ExecuteSync and ExecuteAsync methods provide the ability to execute arbitrary files and scripts in your Smart Home project. The synchronous mode means that the code execution will block subsequent operations until the script is completed, while the asynchronous mode allows you to continue executing other operations without waiting for the script to finish. You can use these methods for integration with other systems, executing custom scripts, or launching external applications in your Smart Home project.

Code Example

# ExecuteSync
# ##################################
"use strict";

r = ExecuteSync "data/scripts/ping.sh", "google.com"
if r.out == 'ok'
  print "site is available ^^"

ping.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

ping -c1 $1 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; [[ $? -eq 0 ]] && echo ok || echo "err"
