I managed to install the new plugin that replaces the security script, I now do see the security sensor being detected in the event log of indigo 5, but
I can't figure out how I can pick up this signal and make it change a variable.
I enclosed the part of the event log. As you can see it detects a door switch with id 69. I defined this doorswitch as a device called "test sensor" and gave it the X10 ID 69.
The log mentions "Testsensor [1202179182] not been assigned a Switchboard Group." I don't know how to do that.
Paul,
The new switchboard plugin should eliminate the majority of the need for variables....
Switchboard will handle most of the dispatching of tasks, based on the Monitored Device Groups... Devices are assigned to a group, generally based on a common task. For example, Exterior Doors... But the Monitored Devices groups, can be any conceptual idea... It's just an easy way to organize the task, and not have to re-enter the same data multiple times...
To make a Monitored Device Group, make a new device:
Type - Plugin
Plugin - Switchboard
Model - Monitored Device Group
Between the Timed Device Support, and Action Group Support, there is very little that needs to be controlled by variables...
Now, for now at least, could you give me an idea on where you need a variable?
Keep in mind, you can trigger off the state of the device, which in most cases would replace the variables that you are use to in v4...
