[ANSWERED]: How to change ENTIRE UI to use celsius????

Ok I've been playing with the demo for a while now and can't for the life of me figure out how to make all temperatures display in celsius. I've even used the latest Proliphix plugin for my NT20e, told it to display in celsius and it shows in imperial under the "state" column in devices.

There doesn't appear to be anything in the Preferences pane either.

I gotta be missing something stupidly obvious here...

Thanks
Tim

For others who might have this issue... It is necessary to delete and re-create the stat devices when upgrading to the latest version from v1.0.7.

Just to clarify, it was originally for my NT20e but I'd also like to get anything else that is in there showing in Metric. Such as all the demo/sample thermostats.

That is what I can't find out how to do.

Cheers
Tim

There is no global °C / °F mode setting in Indigo. It is complicated because some hardware modules support changing modes internally, some don't, and some plugins support doing a software conversion whereas others don't. Having some global switch that can magically handle (and it would require some magic) all the different permutations would be nice, but doesn't currently exist.

OTOH, it would be nice if the were a setting in the Indigo prefs for Imperial vs. Metric. Then a plugin could reference that, and, allow an override if wanted. Of course, it would be horribly confusing for users of plugins that did not reference the setting. But, once it got generally adopted, it would be a nice convenience. Just my 2¢
