Are we able to set PINs from a variable?

[eric]

I can't see to find a way to set PINs from a variable. Am I missing something?

If not, I think this feature would be a great addition - it would allow a series of variables, one per user, containing PINs to be changed from Indigo Touch and automatically updated in the locks, using triggers.

Oooooh!

How long have you been able to modify variables in Touch?!?!?!

Sorry, back on topic.

I can’t remember whether I implemented this or not.

If I did, then you set the pin value in the action to be something like %v:123456% where 12346 is the variable ID in Indigo.

Lookup variable substitution in the Indigo docs if you’re at a pc; I’m on phone and not back till later.

At least a couple of years. Quite possibly longer than that!

I just looked at the code. String substitution has not been implemented.

[howartp]

If I did, then you set the pin value in the action to be something like %v:123456% where 12346 is the variable ID in Indigo.

Right, grab 1.0.50 then enter the following in the Set Pin action:

%%v:123456%%

Where 123456 is the variable ID from Indigo.

The v is case-sensitive.

That was an amazingly quick response. Trying it now.

Thanks!

It only took 17 characters of coding!

This all works very well - I have ten variables and each contains a PIN. If I change any one of them (either on the desktop or Touch) then the lock is instantly updated with the new PIN.

There's one thing that's stumping me: I would like to be able to make a variable blank (empty) and have indigo delete that PIN. Currently when you make a variable blank it simply leaves the same PIN functioning.

Any thought on how to program this in Indigo?

Thanks

Figured it out - never mind.

When writing the new PIN using the trigger, I first delete the pin, then write it. So a blank variable will result in a deleted PIN.

[howartp]

Hehe, yep that will work.

I was also going to say yes it can be done easily - I’ll intercept a blank pin in the setPin() routine in code, and redirect to clearPin() instead when it sees blank.

I'm unable to set a PIN from a variable.

I can read the PIN just fine.

Code: Select all

Action Group                    Get Pin
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Requesting PIN for user 1
   Z-Wave                          sent "Front Door Deadbolt" raw command [63 02 01]
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Status:  User code 1 is 9 5 9 9 [Node: 13]

I can also set the PIN by manually assigning it in the action.

Code: Select all

Action Group                    Set Pin
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Setting PIN for user 1 to: 7135
   Z-Wave                          sent "Front Door Deadbolt" raw command [63 01 01 01 37 31 33 35]
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Status: User 1 updated [Node: 13]
   Action Group                    Get Pin
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Requesting PIN for user 1
   Z-Wave                          sent "Front Door Deadbolt" raw command [63 02 01]
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Status:  User code 1 is 7 1 3 5 [Node: 13]

However, using the %%v:123456%% format (which I've doublechecked that I've used my own variable ID) doesn't seem to work.

The PIN is unchanged.

   Z-Wave                          sent "Front Door Deadbolt" raw command [63 01 01 01]
   Action Group                    Get Pin
   Z-Wave Lock Manager             Requesting PIN for user 1
   Z-Wave                          sent "Front Door Deadbolt" raw command [63 02 01]

(yes, the PIN in the variable is different; I made sure of that)

Any ideas? I have a Kwikset 910TRL. It seems to otherwise work fine...it's just the variable issue that's got me stumped.

...and I feel like a dummy. I downloaded what I thought was the latest version from the pinned post in this subforum. I got the real latest version from the plugin store, and it works fine now.

[howartp]

Hehe, I love it when you solve things for me.

I do need to check/remember to update the pinned post.
