Python Conversion?

Maybe there's a Python version of this?

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
   set theText to value of variable "WUForecast"
   
   set swapOut to "Snow Showers" as string
   set swapIn to "Snow" as string
   
   if the theText contains the swapOut then
      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the swapOut
      set the text_item_list to every text item of theText
      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the swapIn
      set the theText to the text_item_list as string
      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
   end if
   set the value of variable "WUForecast" to theText
end tell


Thanks,

Code: Select all

forecast = indigo.variables[12345678].value    # "WUForecast"
forecast.replace("Snow Showers", "Snow")
indigo.variable.updateValue(12345678, forecast)


More or less.

Python is so much better at string manipulation...

Python is so much better a pretty much anything and everything with the slight exception of a few integration tasks with macOS.

Perfect, thanks.

With a test for the string, saves doing the update if not needed:

Code: Select all

forecast = indigo.variables[12345678].value    # "WUForecast"
if "Snow Showers" in forecast:
    forecast.replace("Snow Showers", "Snow")
    indigo.variable.updateValue(12345678, forecast)


If I could bug you for another...

Need to insert a device state into a variable as an integer. Been using Applescripts to trigger on variable
changes but they’re pretty unreliable.

Thanks,

Carl

You shouldn't need Python for that. Can't you use the Indigo "Variable Actions -> Insert Device State into Variable" action?

Yes, but the Weather Plus device state I’m using inserts the state as 65.0, I need it without the decimal...65.

Thanks,

Carl

Carl, if you look at the Device Extensions plugin you can reformat that number however you want and then store that if you desire or just leave it where it is because it's a device state that can be triggered upon or whatever you need to do. Just use a conversion extension to either transform your number and trim the decimals or you can use it as a string and cut off the last two characters, either way it sounds like it'll take care of what you need to do.

Another plugin, Super Conditions also lets you read in data from wherever in Indigo and stash it into a variable if you want, it does some conversion but not as much as Device Extensions does.

Thanks a bunch but am unsure of what the settings should be to remove the .0 and let it be as many as 3
integers. e.g. 100.

Edit: Seems regardless of what settings I enter I’m not seeing any states change in the Device Extentions device.
I assume I would trigger from a change in the DE state to insert to a variable?

Code: Select all

state_value_as_float = float(indigo.devices[DEVICEID].states[STATEID])
indigo.variable.updateValue(VARID, value=str(int(state_value_as_float)))

Should be pretty close.

Thanks. I assume the StateID is a number?

No, it's the key/id of the state. In the device state list, it shows the custom state IDs (which is an alphanumeric string):
