How to display a Global Variable value as a label in Virtual Device?

[mvdkallen 0]

Hi all,

 

First I'll give you some background info else you might not understand my request later on (.. I own a HC2 by the way).

 

I've set up one Global Variable called "Lampscene" with values "Uit" (off), "Ochtend" (morning), "Avond" (evening), and "Nacht" (night).

Depending on this Global Variable value, some of my lights go on with different dimming levels. The values "Avond" (evening) and "Uit" (off) are both triggered by sunset and sunrise timers, the other ones are triggered by fixed times set in the HC2. All work like a charm and the system itself runs very stable

Besides letting HC2 to control this fully automated, I now have also created a Virtual Device which allows me to change the Global Variable manually. The Virtual Device works well and does exactly what I want.

 

Now, I'd like to add a label onto this VD which shows me the active Global Variable value at a glance... But I don't know how to do this.

 

The attached file shows you the simple VD as how it appears, the label I've added shows the text "Current state:" .. and behind this text I'd like to have the Global Variable value shown which is active at that moment.

 

Can someone help me out maybe, please?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Mark van der Kallen

in main loop do:

fibaro:call(X, "setProperty", "ui.LabelY.value", tostring(fibaro:getGlobalValue(Z)));

 

where X = id of virtual device

LabelY - label name

Z - global name
