Bernman Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I am trying to figure out how to make a simple ON/OFF button in the standard HMI, that essentially just changes a variable state (and of course displays the state of the variable). Is this possible? So far, the only way I see to get a button on the HMI is to have it associated to a physical device. I suppose what I am looking for is a "virtual" device. Basically, what I am trying to do is to have a button that enables and disables my vacation folder. I know I can change the variable state from the HMI, I was just hoping to see everything in one easy to access screen. Thx Bernman
oberkc Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I suspect what you desire is not possible without extraordinary measures. Still, I am curious what you mean by "the standard HMI". Are you talking about the ISY admin panel or dashboard? (BTW...I want virtual devices for my android desktop. I have been unsuccessful so far.)
brain shocker Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Haven't tried this but could you not create a device with an x10 address that does not exist then use that to trigger your variable Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Bernman Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 By standard HMI, I mean the blue screen that has the buttons on it, not the admin console. I suppose dashboard is a better name for it. I haven't looked into the X10 part of the ISY. I'll have to read up on that. Sounds like what I am looking for doesn't exist though. Thank for the responses
