Not understanding how to get addresses

Question

ok

This is probably very simple, however i'm just missing something.

I have 5 motions sensors.  When one of them is tripped, i want to do something different, depending on the sensor... so i need to identify which one was tripped.

I figure that the component address is the way to do that, but i am not getting an address from the signal...

local component = require("component")
local sensor = component.motion_sensor
local event = require("event")

  print("Detecting...")
  while true do
    local _,_,x,y,z,name=event.pull("motion")  
    print("Detected:",address,name,x,y,z)

   end

 

When i trip any one of the motion sensors, it always gives me 'nil' for the address.  the other variables are have valid data.

probably something simple.. but i'm stuck

any suggestions would be appreciated

In your example the variable `address` is never defined.. and thus it's nil.

local event = require("event")
while true do
  -- # note we get the address from the event data. `_` is the event name 'motion'
  local _, address, x, y, z, name = event.pull("motion")  
  print("Detected:", address, x, y, z, name)
end
