Indigo Domotics

I am using the following script to update the outside temperature:


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

if nowTemp > yearHigh:
indigo.variable.updateValue(762466133, value=nowTemp)
if nowTemp < yearLow:
indigo.variable.updateValue(128906629, value=nowTemp)

When I run it though, I get the following error:

Mar 23, 2020 at 10:12:25 AM
Script Error embedded script: Python argument types in
VariableCmds.updateValue(VariableCmds, int)
did not match C++ signature:
updateValue(_VariableCmds {lvalue}, boost::python::api::object elem, CCString value)
Script Error Exception Traceback (most recent call shown last):

embedded script, line 6, at top level
ArgumentError: Python argument types in
VariableCmds.updateValue(VariableCmds, int)
did not match C++ signature:
updateValue(_VariableCmds {lvalue}, boost::python::api::object elem, CCString value)

When I run the script from inside the trigger, the following line becomes highlighted:

indigo.variable.updateValue(762466133, value=nowTemp)

Can someone help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Matt

I am HARDLY a Python person... so this is probably NOT the problem, but I'm thinking the syntax is slightly wrong: I think you need to indent the two lines indicated here...

Code: Select all

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

if nowTemp > yearHigh:
   indigo.variable.updateValue(762466133, value=nowTemp)
if nowTemp < yearLow:
   indigo.variable.updateValue(128906629, value=nowTemp)

The formatting didn't carry over when I copied and pasted. It does appear in Indigo the way you corrected it. Thanks for pointing that out though.

Use the "Code" tags when posting Python code.

You're getting the value of WCT_external_temperature as a float, but you need to save it to the variable as a string. Try converting it to a string before you save it:

Code: Select all

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

if nowTemp > yearHigh:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(762466133, value=str(nowTemp))
if nowTemp < yearLow:
    indigo.variable.updateValue(128906629, value=str(nowTemp))


Perfect! Thank you!
