Incrementing a variable

I would like to count how many days the house is occupied, depending on season.
I am unable to count winter occupancy below. - my script is attempting to update the winterCount variable with its revised value.
Suggestions?

Code: Select all

hseStatus = indigo.variables[1568794432].value
season = indigo.variables[325456157].value
winterCount = indigo.variables[255681698].getValue(int)
if hseStatus == "Occupied":
   if season == "winter":
      winterCount += 1
      indigo.variable.updateValue(255681698, winterCount)


Without knowing the error that you're getting, I can only presume it's because your last line is trying to update the variable with an integer. Indigo variables can only be strings, so try updating your last line to:

Code: Select all

indigo.variable.updateValue(255681698, str(winterCount))

There wasn't any error message - you guessed right, it's simply not updating.
Thanks.

Did changing the last line to my suggestion solve the problem for you or is it still broken?

It did. Very easy change.
Thank you.

Good deal.
