Script to increment variable with timing?

How can I round it off in the script? I'm starting to research this, but I worry about breaking the script.

If it doesn't want any decimal places, just convert it to an integer:

Code: Select all

# Calculate the new value originally set at darknessValue = (sourceDevice.sensorValue-1000) * -0.1

darknessValue = int((sourceDevice.sensorValue-1000) * -0.1)

# Set the value of the destination variable
indigo.variable.updateValue(1021324478, value=str(darknessValue))


Perfect!!
Thank you.

What in the world am I missing??

Luminance reading = 1.04% This is sourceDevice.sensorValue.

Python code: darknessValue = int((sourceDevice.sensorValue-1000) * -0.1)

1.04 -1000 x -0.1 = 99.896

My darkness variable (which is derived from the python code above) equals 94

I'm not sure. When I run your code, I get 99. If my math is right, you need a sensorValue of around 60 to arrive at 94.

Also, I'd suggest doing the following which would be a little bit more precise:

Code: Select all

r_val = round((sourceDevice.sensorValue-1000) * -0.1)
i_val = int(r_val)
