truncating string in VD - looking for some assistance !!

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi,

I searched the forum and some other lua references and couldn't find how to do this.

 

I have a very simple VD that reads several temperatures and displays them in a number of VD labels

I am looking to round/truncate the value displayed to 2 decimal places

Currently it is displaying 9 or 10

 

any help and tips appreciated

 

Thanks

Try that, have not tested it but should work.

Agree with @jompa68, but maybe a small addition. If you want to use the truncated result, for instance in another formula (so not just truncated the display but also the variable) you can use something like:

Possibly add ".5" to use the standard rounding rule.

The generic function for Peter's solution:

num = number to truncate

idp = number of decimals to be returned

Hi,

 

It is a bug, already reported it in bugzilla

 

Try using a space or C like:

 

fibaro:call(thisId, "setProperty", "ui.temp1.value",fibaro:getValue(871, "value").." ");

or

fibaro:call(thisId, "setProperty", "ui.temp1.value",fibaro:getValue(871, "value").." C");

Perfect, the space worked a treat - thanks
