Comparing outside temps and updating variables in Python

I am in the process of updating my Indigo serv er scripts to Python and have been working on this particular script all day.

I want the script to update the yearlyHighTemp and yearlyLowTemp as the temperature outsides rises above or below the current hig and low. This is what I have so far:

Code: Select all

nowTemp = indigo.variables[1403030637].value
yearHigh = indigo.variables[762466133].value
yearLow = indigo.variables[128906629].value

if nowTemp > yearHigh
    indigo.variable.updateValue(762466133, value=float(nowTemp.value))




I get the following error when I try it:
Script Error embedded script: invalid syntax
Script Error around line 5 - "if nowTemp > yearHigh"

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance.

.value returns a string. You need to use .getValue(float).

Also, your if line needs a ":" at the end. That's what's actually causing the syntax error.

Code: Select all

nowTemp = indigo.variables[1403030637].getValue(float)
yearHigh = indigo.variables[762466133].getValue(float)
yearLow = indigo.variables[128906629].getValue(float)

if nowTemp > yearHigh:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(762466133, value=nowTemp)



Thanks for your help. That fix eliminated an error that kept popping up every few minutes as the temp outsides soars above 28 degrees F.
