[MODERATOR NOTE]: this post was initially posted on the topic referencing an example shortcut to get a variable. I've split it into a separate topic because it goes beyond the scope of what that example plugin does, but is a perfectly valid question.
---------------------------------
Just tried your demo and decided to use the get a variable bit in a shortcut to open the front door using a loop to re-trigger the lock as it locks after 10 seconds and sometimes it would be helpful to extend the opening by a re-trigger, but stop once the front door contact sensor opens.
I get the variable but the shortcut ‘If’ statement only gives ‘does not have any value’ or ‘does have a value’ as options and sending nothing to blank the Indigo variable is seen as ‘false’ so it always triggers as ‘does have a value’.
Is their another way to get this working?
