-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'

Nothing in ebusd logs

Adding the colons

maybe you got the wrong message. check with "ebusctl find -w -f SetModeOverride", count the fields, and compare with the number given as input

[moskovskiy82]

Seems correct

$ ebusctl find -w -f SetModeOverride
w,bai,SetModeOverride,Betriebsart,,08,b510,00,hcmode,m,UCH,,,,flowtempdesired,m,D1C,2,,,hwctempdesired,m,D1C,2,,,hwcflowtempdesired,m,UCH,,,,setmode1,m,UCH,,,,disablehc,m,BI0:1,,,,disablehwctapping,m,BI1:1,,,,disablehwcload,m,BI2:1,,,,setmode2,m,UCH,,,,remoteControlHcPump,m,BI0:1,,,,releaseBackup,m,BI1:1,,,,releaseCooling,m,BI2:1,,,

12 fields.

12 fields issued in the command above ebusctl w -c bai SetModeOverride 0;;;-;-;0;0;;-;0;0;0 or ebusctl w -c bai SetModeOverride 1;2;3;-;-;6;7;8;-;10;11;12

ah, you can't just leave fields empty, so any sequence of ";;" is invalid, as ebusd wouldn't know what to write there

Thank you! Is there a way to issue the command without changing the value? Is the "-" the correct one for this job?

[john30]

no, ebus is not designed that way. "-" is only a special value that ebusd reveals instead of a certain replacement value for several data types. it is more or less equal to a variable NOT having a value, but not valid for all data types. anyway, if you'd write that value, you would indeed change the parameter from the value it has currently to not having a value any more. in order to write only a single value in a row of several, you'd have to keep all the values besides the one you'd like to change
