Indigo Domotics

Im setting up and condition based on the outside temperature. But I can't get it to execute. its working if the temperature is between 0-100 degrees, but when i try between -6 and 7 nothing happen. The outside temp is around 5 degrees now.

What is wrong with my condition ?

Could the problem be that the "-" in front of the 6 is a hyphen and not a minus/negative sign? Does it work if you change it from -6 to 0 (given then current temperature is around 5 degrees)?

yes. it works if I set the condition from 0 to 6. what sign should I use as negative?

Just the key to the right of the zero key.

I have tryed this ‘-‘ sign.

I just tried, and I'm unable to reproduce this problem. Using a negative value for the lower bounds of a between conditional worked correctly here.

Are you accessing the Indigo Server from the Indigo Client (GUI) on the same Mac? I'm wondering if an extra invisible character is getting entered in the edit field before or after the number somehow. That is the only way I can think that it would fail to recognize the entry as a number.

I think that might be the problem. We've had problems with screen sharing inserting invisible characters on the registration code entry dialog, so the same thing might be happening here.

Are you accessing it remotely using the Indigo client, or via screen sharing?

Maybe try copy/pasting the entire value "-6" to see if that gives a different result?

I have tried indigo client, screen sharing and copy the value you posted. I have also connected mouse and keyboard to the Mac mini server. nothing works.

As you can se from the two pictures, the minus sign changing(longer minus sign) after i save the schedule, if you understand me.

What version of Indigo are you running?

se my last post again. I edited it with another picture.

I use 7.0.3

Get it into the state where it is failing (condition evaluation should be true but isn't working), then choose the Indigo 7->Stop Server menu item and email us (support AT indigodomo DOT com) your database file. We'll try to reproduce it here with your database.

i have sent the database now.

I think the problem is that the minus sign is changing format.

Go to System Preferences, Keyboard Panel, Text tab. Check for a substitution there. Also try unchecking the "Use smart quotes and dashes" box.

I tried it, but I have the same problem.
