Simple Quick App help

[dorten75 6]

I just can`t get my head around this....

 

I have a GlobalVariable = "Electricpricenow"

I want to display this price in a simple, but nice way.

 

This was the solution in my HC2 and VD:

local ID = fibaro:getSelfId(Label1)
fibaro:call(ID, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", (tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Electricpricenow"))))
fibaro:sleep(120000) -
 

So who do I get this to work in HC3 and Quick App?
What is the correct lua, and what type of Quick App do I use? The globaleVarible updates every hour.

Thank you @cag014 for replying.

Do I have to choose a spesific type of QA when creating it?

Have tryed several different types, mulitsensor, power and so on.

 

The output should just be : 3,2455  - as an example, but nothing comes up.

It just stays at: 0

 

I have the value stored in global variable under "General" -> "Variables", do I have to create it in the QA -> "Variables" ?

maybe there is a misunderstanding, do you want to show the value in the icon / properties or in the label?

 

In the example from cag014 you need to create the label within the quickapp, just like your example from the HC2. 

[dorten75 6]

@SmartHomeEddy Thank you for trying to clear that up
I would prefer the value to be presented in the icon itself.

But have also created an label within the QA and c/p the lua code above, but there it still just say "label" and no value from the globalVariable.
The label id = label     .....as well

So the type of QA I choose does not matter?

[SmartHomeEddy 814]

Type of Quickapp isn’t that important, multilevel sensor is a save choice and will do the job. 
 

If you want to update the value in the properties, you can add this line of code to the example of cag014:

Instead of the updateView line or on top of below that line of code. 

[dorten75 6]

Happy you are taking your time to try to help me

 

Have these lines in now.
Suddenly the "label" line works for some reason- so now it atleast seems to be pulling the globalV. there.
But no change with "value" Property.

 

Tried to change the last function QuickApp:updateProperty() -- to function QuickApp:onIni(), but stil no value change in property...

 

function QuickApp:onInit()

    self:updateView("label", "text", "Price Nkr ="..fibaro.getGlobalVariable("StromPrisNaa0rekWh"))

    setInterval (function() self:updateLabel() end, 120000)

end 

 

function QuickApp:updateProperty()

    self:updateProperty("value",tonumber(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("StromPrisNaa0rekWh")))

end

I think this works better:

Sorry to say I am not getting wiser

 

This works as an label - but not if I use - function QuickApp:updateLabel()

This does not work - and does not change whatever function I put in front.

I guess "value" is defined in the Property, but it still stay at 0 in the Dashboard.

 

You have QA that work like this without any problems?

 

EDIT:

If i just do this, the icon changes from 0 to 7, - but it will not pull the globalv. 

And for a breif moment, I tried "local nr1 = fibaro.getglobal.... and it pulled the global.
Just to not wanting to pull it again when I tried to make a new QA, so  I am not sure what is happing.

This works...

@SmartHomeEddy

I was strubbeling with the same problem, when you make a QA (multilevel sensor) then is it possible in a "label" to get the value from a globalVariable.

But when you wil the same value in the icon, no update

I seems that this code in the updateLabel() not works: self:updateProperty("value", tonumber(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("xxxxxxxx")));

@SmartHomeEddyTested and this new code works.

Thx:-)

[dorten75 6]

@SmartHomeEddy
Thx a lot - you are a star!! 
Just had to clean up a few - unexpected symbol near '..' ,but then it worked like a charm!

 

Not sure about all you did there, but I even learned a bit messing around with this.

Think I have to have you on "speed dial" for my future plans
