Require a new functionality

The Hub provides Lua API to access functionality it implements. This functionality is splitted in groups, namespaces or modules, like zwave, extensions, core, etc. Such modules (as such provided functionality) can be used withing Lua scripts by using a standart mean – require.

call: require “module_name”

Returns a lua module (table) which provides module_name functionality or nill in a case of an error. Note: require “module_name” also registers global variable “module_name” which refers to the lua module.

Note: each Lua script can be launched in a separate environment (does it use separate environment or not depends on hardware and platform). If you need to save some state use the storage module.
