Intro

TellStick ZNet offers two ways of integrating custom scripts. They can be written in either Python or Lua. The difference is outlined below.

Python

Python plugins are only available for TellStick ZNet Pro. Python plugins cannot be run on TellStick ZNet Lite. Python plugins offers the most flexible solution since full access to the service is exposed. This also makes it fragile since Python plugins can affect the service negative.

Lua

Lua code is available on both TellStick ZNet Pro and TellStick ZNet Lite. Lua code runs in a sandbox and has only limited access to the system.

To create a Lua script you need to access the local web server in TellStick ZNet. Browse to: http://[ipaddress]/lua to access the editor.

Lua codes works by signals from the server triggers the execution.
