Global default colors has unexpected results

Featured Replies

Posted

@javi you recently suggested in another thread about using global color schemes to easily see lights on  or off status. 

I recently set mine to red for Positive and green for Zero. Some questions for you:

-why is that called zero vs false? 

-Under Devices, the colors work as expected:

However, when I look at a scene, they are still all blue, whether on or off:

And then when I look at my programs, all the folders are all red, and the programs are all red, even if they are true or false. 

This is very confusing.. should programs and folders have their own global settings versus devices?

Because all status values in ISY are represented as numbers. While it is possible there are negative values this is not very common so negative was omitted for globals, but can be set in custom mappings.  Most dimmable lights/switches have values 0 (off)-100 (full on). Most non-dimmable lights/switches have values 0 (off) and 100 (on).  Globals may not work well with devices which do not conform to 0 (off) and greater than zero (on).

I don't think the Node Dashboard screen Scene Members section incorporates colors of any type, but the same device should have a color in the Node List or in Favorites.    This screen has not changed much since release, so it is due for a upgrade, I'll try to get colors in at that time.

Programs will always have the positive color as they do not conform to 0 for off and greater than zero for on.  They have 4 common values Idle-true, Idle-false, running-then, running-else.  Adding globals for programs is on my list, although it has lower priority to other features.
