"Simple" code not working in 4.017 / 4.018

[JanJoh 1]

This is code from a button in a virtual device. But, it does not toggle the variable. And i get no error output.

Am i missing something stupid?

So, are variables always strings now? Does that also mean if tonumber(getstatus) == "0" ?

No, that code does not toggle the variable either.

I just tried that and it seems to be working. Could you please add some fibaro:debug() after the variable is being set and post results here?

I'm having problems with debug and tonumber after update to 4.018.

Try this.

a = "3"

fibaro:debug(tonumber(a)) -- shows nothing

fibaro:debug("a = "..a) -- now it's visible

aa = tonumber(a)

fibaro:debug(aa) -- shows nothing

fibaro:debug(""..aa) -- now visible

Is this a syntax isssue??

I noticed that you can only put ALPHA variables in global variables AND from the variables panel you can only enter NUMERIC variables, eg 1 , 2.5 etc. ?!!

So tonumber(x) into setGlobal does not work!!!
