You haven’t failed. You only found a way that didn’t work ?

 

btw there is a difference between showing the consumption in the label and storing the consumption in a device. 
I hope we get a new energy panel for the HC3, so we can trace the power consumption history that way.

ha i am making progress. By defing the quickapp as energymeter and child devices the same we get 2 fields that can be used to store values.  "Value" where i put the instant power and "Energy" where i put the total.  And it works :) 

Now how to show on the instant power in the label like it worked for the multisensor....

    add interface "power" when you create the child.

    self:updateProperty("power",55) to set the power value - it will show up at the bottom of the device icon as "55W"

    Like so ?

    It does not work. I think because there is no power in the device properties.

    When you create the child you need to add the interface "power"

    works now :)  cheers ?

    and one last question about this QA and i'm done with it :) 

     

    Can i add the same interface "power" to the main QA ?  - to sum up all the instant energy readings from childs.

    As i tried and nothing happens:(  obviously i did not do it correctly ..

    @jgab i read again your manuals :)  and solved it :)

    How do you add the interface to the main QA?

     

    Try this inside :onInit()

    I check if it already has the power interface. Otherwise, when the interface is added (self:addInterfaces) the QA is restarted - and if you do it at every startup you may end up with an infinite loop...

    cleaner then what i did obviously :)  I think it misses an "end"  after break end end

    I've been toying with this but did not keep my notes :(

     

    IIRC you have 2 separate related issues, there is "keep alive" which is a kind of ping between server and client, so it can detect a disconnect after some time and restart the connection.  That's what @jgabmentioned. And when you post a message to a dead connection there has to be some kind of event.

     

    There's a 3rd possible issue but it is the opposite, a client disconnecting ungracefully. To handle that there is a mechanism called "last will".

    we, (the company i work for) just started Quick Apps web page, with already some QAs available. The page is mainly for customers/developers who speak german, there will be in 1-2 days as well translated QA guide available. 

    Wir, (die firma für die ich arbeite) haben gerade eine Quick Apps-Webseite gestartet, auf der bereits einige QAs verfügbar sind. Die Seite richtet sich hauptsächlich an Kunden / Entwickler, die Deutsch sprechen. In 1-2 Tagen wird auch ein übersetzter Quick Apps Leitfaden verfügbar sein.

     

    Please login or register to see this link.

     

    Not everything is paid content, and we still testing / thinking what is the best way to provide some QA help to customers / installers, to allow us to spend some time on development and on the other hand to not give you guys the feeling "give me your money". 

     

    Nicht alles ist ein kostenpflichtiger Inhalt, und wir testen / überlegen immer noch, wie wir Kunden / Installateuren am besten Quick Apps Hilfe bieten können, damit wir einige Zeit für die Entwicklung investieren können und andererseits nicht das Gefühl geben "gib mir dein Geld ".

     

    As Fibaro Trainer i know how many installers and customer in germany need dedicated support in german language, however support costs money and time. With shared content the TCO drops of course, and i think everybody knows that there is nothing wrong with app stores.

     

    Als Fibaro Trainer weiß ich, wie viele Installateure und Kunden in Deutschland dedizierten Support in deutscher Sprache benötigen, aber Support kostet Geld und Zeit. Bei gemeinsam genutzten Inhalten sinken die Gesamtbetriebskosten natürlich, und ich denke, jeder weiß, dass an App Stores nichts auszusetzen ist.

    Transfer string from a QA

    Hello
    I would like to transfer a string or a linked variable from a QA.
    I only get integers with this.
    self: updateProperty ("value", 54)
    How does something get transmitted?

    Example to illustrate what I want
    self: updateProperty ("value", "Hello world")
    self: updateProperty ("value", {"A1", true, 54})

    just created another one QA, this time for a gate controller ( com.fibaro.baseShutter ). As this one is not (yet) docummented type, i share my observation:

     

    - there is no value for position, however one can still use it for own property (e.g. QuickApp:setValue will work)

    - one need to use "state", with proper formating:

    this give us some nice icons on HC3 UI (and the latest 1.8.0 app!)

    - Step by Step (the arrow up - stop - arrow down) can be used by catching "step"

    Please login or register to see this code.

    - if your gate controller support "partialopen", one can use it as well

     

    Please login or register to see this code.

     

    - to allow partialopen and/or stepbystef, interface need to be added while init

    That sounds good, but how do I create a QA with the type "com.fibaro.baseShutter"
    If I want to create a new QA, I don't see anything like that.
    The QA types are anything but a "com.fibaro.baseShutter"
    can you send me an empty QA with the type?
    Or better explain how I create it.
