Indigo Domotics

I have a variable, MinLux, that I use as a comparison value against the luminance from an Aeon multisensor.

I would like to set the value of MinLux to 150.

Up to this point I've been opening a Python Shell and entering code similar to indigo.variable.updateValue(1234567, "150.0").

When I look in the Variable List window, I can see that the variable takes on the value 150.

Is there an easier way?

I am thinking of something like opening the Variables List window, right clicking on the variable, and entering the value in a pop-up text field.

Is there something like this?

On a related note: Have I entered the value for the variable correctly? What I am doing is comparing this variable to another variable that holds the luminance value from the Aeon sensor in the condition portion of a trigger to turn on a light (condition: if variable is less than variable) Will this comparison be performed as a numerical comparison? Even though I update the variable as a string value?

Thanks,
Barry.

Barry,

I've you tried double click on the value of your variable within the variable windows? You'll find what you need!

Thanks!

Also, you are storing the value correctly. You will need to convert it from a string to an int before you can do any arithmetic. I usually just convert it in the equation, as in int (var) + 150.

Thanks both.

That was certainly easy !

Currently I am using trigger Conditions to compare (variable less than variable). It seems to be comparing numerically.

I will probably switch to Python. Then I will need to convert types.
