   def filtergpioList(self, valuesDict=None, filter="", typeId="", devId="x"):

         return list


the default value when editing the device should be "26", "GPIO26 = pin # 37" but it shows blank

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

It works fine with regular hard coded lists, textfields ...

Your dynamic method needs to return a list (array) of tuples, not lists:

Code: Select all

_GlobalConst_allGPIOlist = [
     ("1", "do not use")
   , ("2",  "GPIO02 = pin  # 3 -- I2C")
   , ("3",  "GPIO03 = pin  # 5 -- I2C")
   , ("4",  "GPIO04 = pin  # 7 -- ONE WIRE")
   , ("17", "GPIO17 = pin  # 11 -- DHT")
   , ("27", "GPIO27 = pin  # 13")
   , ("22", "GPIO22 = pin  # 15")
   , ("10", "GPIO10 = pin  # 19 -- SPS MOSI")
   , ("9",  "GPIO09 = pin  # 21 -- SPS MISO")
   , ("11", "GPIO11 = pin  # 23 -- SPS SCLK")
   , ("5",  "GPIO05 = pin  # 29")
   , ("6",  "GPIO06 = pin  # 31")
   , ("13", "GPIO13 = pin  # 33")
   , ("19", "GPIO19 = pin  # 35")
   , ("26", "GPIO26 = pin  # 37")
   , ("14", "GPIO14 = pin  # 8  -- TX - REBOOT PIN OUT")
   , ("15", "GPIO15 = pin  # 10 -- RX - REBOOT PIN IN")
   , ("18", "GPIO18 = pin  # 12")
   , ("23", "GPIO23 = pin  # 16")
   , ("24", "GPIO24 = pin  # 18")
   , ("25", "GPIO25 = pin  # 22")
   , ("8",  "GPIO08 = pin  # 24 -- SPS CE0")
   , ("7",  "GPIO07 = pin  # 26 -- SPS CE1")
   , ("12", "GPIO12 = pin  # 32")
   , ("16", "GPIO16 = pin  # 36")
   , ("20", "GPIO20 = pin  # 38")
   , ("21", "GPIO21 = pin  # 40")
]


tried that , no change

tried also
_GlobalConst_allGPIOlist = (
("1", "do not use")
, ("2", "GPIO02 = pin # 3 -- I2C")
, ("3", "GPIO03 = pin # 5 -- I2C")
...
)
all couple but that creates an error message it wants a list not a tuple.

ps when opening the list everything is there , just the DEFAULT is not populated.

Why not just put the list in the xml file. It doesn't appear that you're modifying it in any way.

Now that I think about it some more, I'm not sure the default value field works at all with a callback generated menu list. I think I implemented the getDeviceConfigUiValues() method to set the "default" value for devices.

I use that list in many places ( > 50)

instead of having long lists everywhere i just have one def.

Yeah, we have discussed this previously:
https://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=12530&p=84214&hilit=defaultValue+dynamic+list#p84214

That should get you in the right direction...

Sh t.

Tooo much logic.

have > 90 devices and several reference to that list for each device and they are all different. Then it would be easier to just include the static list.

Karl
Ps that would add ~90*5*30 lines ~14000 lines to devices.xml

My logic only sets the default if nothing has already been selected.

Code: Select all

    def getDeviceConfigUiValues(self, pluginProps, typeId, devId):
        valuesDict = indigo.Dict(pluginProps)
        errorsDict = indigo.Dict()

        if len(valuesDict) == 0:
            if typeId == "foo":
                valuesDict["bar"] = "123"

        return (valuesDict, errorsDict)



Yes, times 90 times 5 of your example
