Indigo Domotics

Hey,

Can this tool be used to convert a variable value to an integer? e.g. 16.0 to 16

Thanks,

Carl

Hi Carl - no, the Multitool plugin doesn't have that capability. What you're looking to do can be done very simply using Python.

Code: Select all

x = indigo.variables[12345678].getValue(int)


What are you looking to do with the integer value once you get it?

I was going to say, the EPS Device Extensionsplugin should do this for you.

Type: EPS Device Extensions
Model: Conversion Extension

Use device: Unchecked (which means it watches Variables not Devices)
Conversion: Convert String to Number
Convert to: Integer

However the plugin never actually displays any output in it's states when I tested it, so you might need to raise it with @Colarado4Wheeler if he's still around.

I haven't used the EPS plugin for some time, but that's another good suggestion.

I insert the moon phase state in the FW Astrology plugin to a variable.
Just need the number without the decimal.

Sorry, not sure how to use the script you posted.

Thanks,

Not seeing anything in the EPS Device Extensions plugin that might do that.

Thanks,

Any tips on using EPS Device Extensions would be appreciated. I created a DE device, tried
using both a device and variable but not sure how to trigger it or how it functions.

Thanks,

Carl

Actually, I did a quick test and I couldn't get it to work either. I'm thinking that feature may not be working properly.

Instead of inserting the moon phase into a variable and then converting it, why not convert it from the get go?

Code: Select all

moon_phase = int(indigo.devices[17807039].states['moonPhase'])
indigo.variable.updateValue(314742858, str(moon_phase))
