Indigo Domotics

Apologies if this has been asked/covered ... but is there a way to have a text entry box on a control page?

The ability to change a variable's value from afar would be extremely useful!

Thank you!

Try the IWS Variable Plugin in the User Contribution Library. It doesn't work with Indigo Touch, but it works great in web pages.

Jay,

Thank you, I'll give that a try.

Any chance the Indigo Touch app might be able to incorporate its own text entry function?

It's in the plan, but we don't know yet if it'll make the first release.

Any update on this?
I would also have several use cases where this feature would be great.

It has been in there for quite a while. Create a new Variable Value control object on the Control Page then set the Client Action to Popup UI Controls. When touched it will let you type in a new value.

Oh. That IS cool. Thanks.

The only thing I need now is to be able to set a Venstar Heatpoint to a variable rather than a hard-coded value.
It doesn't seem possible. Is there a way to do it?

With a python script script:

Code: Select all

try:
    setPoint = int(indigo.variables[VARIDHERE].value)
    indigo.thermostat.setHeatSetpoint(THERMOIDHERE, value=setpoint)
except:
    # the value of the variable couldn't be converted to a number so log an error
    indigo.server.log("Couldn't convert variable value to number")


Thanks. I've never used Python but that worked for me.
