Scene - Run a Script On vs. Off 

In the Scene editor you can add devices of course as well as add a script to run.
When the scene is activated ON, the devices turn on, and when the scene is deactivated OFF the devices turn off.
There is no "run script X when activated/ON" nor "run script Y when deactivated/OFF", just simply "run this script".
Since the same script is called either way, is there a way for the script to know whether the scene is being activated/ON or deactivated/OFF?

Hi Chris,
I'm starting to play with the scripting APIs some.
Have a C# question (I suppose). I wanted to try to do something simple like turn on my kitchen lights.
However the following generates an error: object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Any suggestions?

--------------------
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using CastleOSCoreService;


public class MyScript
{
public void Main(string[] args)
{
AutomationDevice MyDevice;

ScriptingAPI.LogEventToDatabase("This is a test database entry.");
ScriptingAPI.Speak("This is a demo announcement to all speakers.", "all");


MyDevice = ScriptingAPI.GetDevice("Kitchen Lights");
MyDevice.ToggleDevicePower(true);

}
}

Hi Chris,
I got the following to work, thanks

--------------------------------------
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using CastleOSCoreService; // NOTE: this must be included, but you can add other using statements below



public class MyScript
{

public void Main(string[] args)
{
AutomationDevice MyDevice;
MyDevice = null;

// This method call will create a database entry in the main log. You can write anything you'd
// like here and it will add it to the DB queue for logging. Queue operates as first in first out.

ScriptingAPI.LogEventToDatabase("Creating test database entry.");


// This method call will speak the text of your choice to the speaker of your choice.
// You'll notice two strings, the first is the text to be spoken, and the second is the ID
// of the speaker to speak through. By default, enter "all" to speak to any connected or
// detected speaker. But you can also specify the speaker, as we'll show in the next section.

//ScriptingAPI.Speak("This is a demo announcement to all speakers.", "all");

foreach ( var device in ScriptingAPI.GetAllDevices() )
{

if (device.name.ToLower().Contains("kitchen lights"))
{
MyDevice = ScriptingAPI.GetDevice(device.uniqueId);
break;
}
}

if (MyDevice != null)
{
MyDevice.ToggleDevicePower(true);
ScriptingAPI.LogEventToDatabase("Turning on device"+MyDevice.name);
ScriptingAPI.Speak("Turning on the "+MyDevice.name,"all");
}
