[ANSWERED]Formatting Question (stat setpoint)

Some thermostat temperatures display as integers while others display with a single decimal that's always zero.
Is there some method of displaying these all as integers (fahrenheit)?

It's up to the developer of the thermostat plugin (if applicable) and the thermostat itself to determine how temperatures are represented in a devices states. You could create a trigger that watches for changes in the temp then uses a script to convert from a float to an integer and then stick it into a variable.

I use the built in support. Sometimes it displays as integer and sometimes a float.

Which thermostat?

Honeywell.
It shows up as integer everywhere but on the control page where it's intermittent (some temps but not all as shown in attached.)

How is Indigo communicating with the Honeywell? If it's using Dave's new plugin then he can probably fix it in his plugin code.

See post 3. No plugin. It also shows as a float in the logs which is fine. It I'd like to be consistent with the integer in control pages.

I think the problem might be that when you use Indigo to change the setpoint it uses an integer, so at that point the Control Page will show it as an integer.

But then if you update the setpoint on the thermostat itself, or if Indigo polls out the status of the thermostat, then it might be returning a float with 1/10th precision. In that case Indigo updates the precision to match what the module sent (it can specify the fractional precision).

We'll look into seeing how/if we can make this more consistent.

In the mean time I'd suggest looking into Jay's suggestion of using a variable value if you want it to always be an integer. Note also if part of the problem is the alignment of the value on the Control Page then you can left-align the state value instead of using center or right-align. You can also remove the label ("set:") from the state control so you can independently position them. That is, you can use a separate text caption control as a label and have the device state control not have a label itself.

Everything works as expected, it's just the aesthetics (and screen real estate) that are my issue.
As a side note, Honeywell always returns zero for the 1/10th decimal.

So, it's a Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat?That's the question I'm trying to get an answer to...
