_sliderValue_ only 0-100

Can _sliderValue_ be modified in HCL before transmitting a virtual device request?

Why?: If you are setting a device volume with a scale of 0-20 it get's very hard to use the slider without hurting you ears once in a while

Nix... Tror du bliver nød til at have et eksternt script imellem.

You need a server and a script which receives the slider value and divides it by 5 before passing it on. Can be done with a webserver and a simple php script

Tak for tippet

Yes that would be fairly easy but I want to keep the number of devices down to avoid new single point of failures.

[Dalle1985 16]

Yeah i can relate to that. But it is simply outside of the capabilities of the HCL i'm affraid.

Why not do the calculation in your LUA script of your Virtual Device before sending it?

I do it the exact same way for my Philips Hue lamps to set the brightness (0-255) based on the slidervalue (0-100)

Hi Leon. HCL does not support LUA

Cosworth32, global variable or scene in block?

Sorry A.Socha, I missed you question completely.

It is the _slidervalue_ in a virtual device slider "button"

[A.Socha 133]

that was a answer (it is not nice but possible)

VD with slider

scene where you checking slider level and pressing correct button with value

VD with predefined value in buttons

example

ifs slider VD is on 20% then use button 11 where you gonna send value 400

maybe plugins will be some help but still if you gonna want use all your unlimited ideas only solution will be hc2

Thanks A.Socha

I've ended up doing it via an external php script server instead. Works like a charm.
