Help With Conversion

Hoping it may be possible using the Device Extentions plugin to convert a device state like 100.00%, or less, to a simple integer, 100, 90, 5 etc? I'm trying to trigger from a luminance sensor value.
The state always includes the .00% at the end.

Thanks,

Carl

Re: Help With Conversion

Are you sure the value actually includes the %?

Indigo supports readings having two values. The raw value (eg 100) and the UI value (eg 100% or 100’c).

The figure you see will generally be the UI one, but try creating a trigger and you’ll often find it allows <100, >85 etc.

Re: Help With Conversion

As Howard says, the % is generally a UI value, but you can still do this with DE by using the 'Convert to String' option and chopping off the last character. You can also use the String to Number conversion to get what you are looking for - which could be better since it will allow you to convert to an integer (no decimals) or a float (decimals) and you can decide how many decimal places you want it to have.

Re: Help With Conversion

The device state shows the % sign when using the sensorValue (UI Value), but not when just using sensorValue.
Seems to be working fine.

Thanks,

Carl

Yup, that's exactly what you should be seeing.
