Hi @AutoFrank,

 

Now when you mentioned it I remember that I had same situation, but as I'm somehow used to have such things with HC2 i just give name without underscore. I think that this is definitely 'feature' same as that one with destroying table values in global variables  

 

Anyway, we can live just fine with label names without underscore so I take it as a feature

@AutoFrank

Do you mean this is not correct as you state "_" cannot be used?

 

This is from my docs of the DSC alarm to HC2 integration that I have tested and documented...

 

--snip--

As global variables and VD labels have different naming rules and we have code chunks that write the same name to both a VD label and a global variable, we must therefor use a naming convention that applies to both. That is...

Name your zones according to these rules:

• NO spaces or “-“. Use “_” instead!
• Max 15 characters
• Start with a letter

• Use only letters and numbers plus “_”

 

From a regex perspective the rule could be written like this: [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]{2,15}

I'm not sure to be honest...

It won't seem to accept my  user of an underscore but when it creates its own label ID, this has an underscore

 

I'm a bit confused...

Hi @AutoFrank,

 

but I wrote that this is feature and here is why: 

I again try to make label ID with underscore "lbl_guest_state" but after saving VD label change ID to "label_0_0" and that happened two times in a row. Since HC2 renames label ID to "label_0_0" or button label ID to "button_1_0" I wrote that it is feature because it gives type and position of the object on VD, row and column. Hope that now is more clear what is happening.

 

BTW I don't know if this remained form previous versions or it is new and to what purpose development team done it but it is definitely not bug fin my humble opinion.

I auto create labels from LUA and seems to have no problem with "_". This is maybe a web guide based bug. Oh sorry @Sankotronic, I of course mean a web based "feature"

Hi @pos,

 

Yes you are right, this is only web GUI feature because if you use other method like VD auto-creation then part of code that changes label ID with underscore is not executed therefore label stays intact. Thanks for additional information.
