How to use displayStateValRaw ?

Hello,

I have defined which state to use in the device list UI by using the method getDeviceDisplayStateId.
The selected state display as follow : 1234 kWh.
I need to extract the numerical part of this state (in the exemple : 1234). I think displayStateValRaw is the best solution to do this, but this method return also 1234 kWh.

Somebody could explain me how displayStateValRaw works ?
Thanks.

When you update a state, you can pass in an optional UI value:

Code: Select all

exampleTempFloat = 78.5
exampleTempStr = u"78.5° F"
dev.updateStateOnServer("aTempState", exampleTempFloat, uiValue=exampleTempStr)

When you set aTempState to be the displayStateId, then the displayStateValUi becomes exampleTempStr and displayStateValRaw becomes exampleTempFloat.

More generally: when you set a state value and pass a uiValue, you end up with two states: the state name and the state name + ".ui". If the state happens to be the display state, then displayStateValUi is a shortcut to the state.ui value and displayStateValRaw is a shortcut to the state value.

Thanks Jay, clear for me.
