VD "Main" toggle switch

[konbaasiang 0]

Howdy! Quick question, hopefully:

 

In order to have a "Main" button in a VD be a toggle switch, and to reflect the state, I've had to use a global variable as well as manual icon selection, as follows:

 

Button 1 (Main) - this is the toggle switch

local curmode=fibaro:getGlobalValue('innerwall_mode');
curmode = (curmode + 1) % 4

fibaro:call(fibaro:getSelfId(), "pressButton", 2+curmode)

 

Button 2

fibaro:setGlobal('innerwall_mode',0);
fibaro:call(fibaro:getSelfId(), "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1011);

-- more code

 

Button 3

fibaro:setGlobal('innerwall_mode',1);
fibaro:call(fibaro:getSelfId(), "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1012);

-- more code

 

Button 4

fibaro:setGlobal('innerwall_mode',2);
fibaro:call(fibaro:getSelfId(), "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1013);

-- more code

 

Button 5

fibaro:setGlobal('innerwall_mode',3);
fibaro:call(fibaro:getSelfId(), "setProperty", "currentIcon", 1014);

-- more code

 

This does the job, but it's a lot of manual labour to duplicate.

 

1) Is there a way to do this without having to define a global variable?

2) Is there a call to get the ID of the currently selected icon for that button, so that I don't have to hardcode the ID of each icon?

 

Either would help, both would be phenomenal.

ex. use icon code for retrieve last pressed button by:

fibaro:getValue( fibaro:getSelfId() , "deviceIcon")  -- for VD icon

but if you need check icon on z-wave device use fibaro:getValue(devID, "currentIcon")

Thanks for your reply @drboss . However, your example retrieves the ID of the main VD icon only, not the icon of the last pressed button.

 

Your example was however enough of a pointer to search further, and I found the following:

This topic from almost 4 years ago asks for the exact same thing I'm asking for, although the request was perhaps not as clearly stated.

 

This leads me to believe perhaps it does not yet exist? This would be another nice feature to have.

I’m not sure I answer your question but you can get the id of the pressed button
