502ss Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Looking for a way to assign the state of a vaiable to the dashboard of mobilinc. I have a lot of systems outside of the ISY that pass their status to the ISY as a variable "0" is off "1" is on etc. i would love to see these on the dashboard as an icon or something just like an ISY device.

InsteonNut Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi Jim, Currently MobiLinc doesn't support variables directly on the Dashboard. This is on our to-do list to add. But, what you could do instead as a work around is write a simple program: If Variable = 1 Then [NOTHING HERE] Else [NOTHING HERE] So, if the variable is a 1, then the program is True. Anything else the program is False. In MobiLinc you can add the program to the Dashboard with a selected icon and go into the Program details to set the custom status values for True and False status. So, if true = ON or RUNNING you can customize the status as per your scenario or specific to the device reporting the status and what 1 or 0 means to you.

Wes Now that is some out of the box thinking! I love it! That will work for some of my needs. I will give it a try! Any idea when the official variable support will be added?

InsteonNut Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi Jim, It's on our list, but I can't comment on future release dates and functionality. We're constantly adjusting based on user feedback, demand, and priorities and resources. Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryllix Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 MobiLinc Pro for android supports variables. Any further headway happening for that? Sent from a tiny keyboard. Response may be brief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsteonNut Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi larryllix, MobiLinc for iOS supports variables as well...just not as a custom Dashboard option. The variable support in Android and iOS are the same. Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
