Indigo Domotics

Hey,

Thought I had an example python script that I could adapt for this but cant come up with it.
Any help converting this to python very much appreciated.

Carl

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
   set snowDay to the value of variable "SnowToday" as real
   set snowSeason to the value of variable "SnowSeason" as real
   
   set snowSeason to snowSeason + snowDay
   set the value of variable "SnowSeason" to snowSeason
end tell


What’s the end goal?

I have a trigger that tracks how many days since rain, and it doesn’t use any scripting at all.

Looks like he's accumulating the amount of snow for the season. Not sure you can do that with just the Indigo UI but I haven't tried.

Yup, that makes sense.

I can count days since rain without a script, but I've never tried accumulating like that. It's probably way easier to do with Python than the UI.

Would be great to be able to perform simple math on variables.
And yes, the end goal is just to add the snow today variable to the snow season.

Hi Carl - the Multitool plugin can do this. The Modify Numeric Variable Action will apply a simple formula whenever some condition takes place. For example, when variable B changes, add its new value to variable A.



Var A = Foo05
Var B = Variable 1321357402 (right click on a variable to get its substitution string)
Operator: +
Formula: +%%v:1321357402%%

If you click on the question mark in the dialog above, it will open this tutorial page on the plugin wiki.

That's perfect. Yet another reason for me to pull the trigger to update to 2022. I'm still using 7.2...tons of applescripts to deal with and it's been working perfectly for years.
Not looking forward to everything that will likely break.

Thanks,

Carl
