Virtual device icon for main power button..

[vincentfibaro 0]

Dear Member,

 

I have created a virtual device with one button.. this button switches my plugwise wall plug on and off. 

This works flawless.

 

The problem is that the main button (under devices) won't change color blue when activated just like a normal existing switch.

(on/off button won't change color)

(Example blue button from existing switch)

 

 

What code do i use to update the main on/off button?

 

Below my current code..

 

--[[

%% properties

 

%% globals

--]]

 

-- Get the value of the 'status' global variable

local value = fibaro:getGlobalValue("plugwise1")

 

if (value == '0') then

plugwise = Net.FHttp("192.168.1.2", 80)

plugwise:setBasicAuthentication("stretch", "sgxfzdxj")

response = plugwise:POST("/minirest/appliances;id=b601b5816f0743a5b111bda80787ab19/power_state=on", "\n\r")

fibaro:log(response)

  fibaro:sleep(1000)

  fibaro:setGlobal("plugwise1", "1")

else

plugwise = Net.FHttp("192.168.1.2", 80)

plugwise:setBasicAuthentication("stretch", "sgxfzdxj")

response = plugwise:POST("/minirest/appliances;id=b601b5816f0743a5b111bda80787ab19/power_state=off", "\n\r")

fibaro:log(response)

  fibaro:sleep(1000)

  fibaro:setGlobal("plugwise1", "0")

end

 

Thank you for your time!!

You are comparing virtual devices and plugins, two completely different things. There is no way to keep the button blue in virtual device, however you can change the icon depending on a state of device.

Hello

 

How do I get a virtual device to change icon? I have a Denon virtual device, however I can only chose 1 icon when I click on the change icon button.

 

Thanks!

something like this, you need to change the icon 1004 & 1003 to values of the icons you want 

 

local vdID = fibaro:getSelfId()

-- ID of switch
local S1ID = "your device id

local status1 = tonumber(fibaro:getValue(S1ID, "value"));

 

if ( tonumber(status1) > 0) 
  then 
fibaro:call(vdID, "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1004);

else 
fibaro:call(vdID, "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1003);  

end
