MobiLinc feature request (or maybe it already exists and I am not aware)

[502ss]

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.

 

Thanks

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.

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?

 

Thanks

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.

MobiLinc Pro for android supports variables.

 

Any further headway happening for that?

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.
