1st Simple Python Task - not working as expected

Hi Jon!

Agree with you completely in principle.

But with your example, it occurs to me that--if the original variable contains a string, let's say--the var.get() will return the number 40.0 instead of throwing an error. In Busta999's case, the number 40.0 is the adjustment factor and not the value to be adjusted. So the result of the script (if there's not a valid temperature to start with) will always be zero. Maybe, instead of using:

Code: Select all

var.getValue(float, default=40.00)

Use:

Code: Select all

var.getValue(float, default=-999.00)

or something like that. Then it would yield a (hopefully!) nonsense result which could trigger inquiry.

Your point is well taken!

Thx I have put this on into it - so far both the sensors, indoor and outdoor are working as expected.

With this offset I can play around a control page.

Thanks everyone.
