values >,<,<=,>=

[C Martin]

I am confused and I know that this is a question that should have been asked a long time ago.

 

> evaluates as Greater Than,

>= evaluates as Greater Than or Equal to,

< evaluates as Less Than,

<= evaluates as Less Than or Equal To.

Is this correct, or am I backwards?

I seem to be getting reverse values.

 

Sorry if this seems to be a Juvenile question.

Just remember, the alligator eats the bigger number. (Yes, you are correct).

Thanks apostolakisl,

 

But is ISY programming backwards?

I seem to get reversed results from my evaluations.

If
       Status  'Thermostats / Remote Stat / Remote Thermostat' < 84° (Temperature)

Then
       $sRemote_Stat_temp_alert  = 1

Else
       $sRemote_Stat_temp_alert  = 0

 

How would you evaluate this program?

I actually want my variable to evaluate to 1 if the temp is greater than 84.

This actually evaluates to 1 when the temp is 84 or even 83 - 84 or less.

While I have yet to take advantage of the variables, I would evaluate your condition as:

 

Status  'Thermostats / Remote Stat / Remote Thermostat' IS LESS THAN 84°

Given this, your program would set your variable to "1" if the teperature is below 84 degrees. This appears to me to be consistent with every math convention that I learned.

 

I actually want my variable to evaluate to 1 if the temp is greater than 84.

 

Given this, I believe it would be more correct to write your condition:

 

Status  'Thermostats / Remote Stat / Remote Thermostat' > 84°

Thanks,

I guess my mind is working in reverse.

I agree with your statement.

I guess I needed to see through my fog.

The symbol compares the two things on each side of it. The alligator eats the bigger number

 

For example:

 

1<2 4>3

 

So if you wrote

 

if

Status 'Thermostats / Remote Stat / Remote Thermostat' < 84° (Temperature) (in plain English you would say, "if the remote thermostat is reading less than 84 degrees")

 

then

$sRemote_Stat_temp_alert = 1

 

else

$sRemote_Stat_temp_alert = 0

 

 

Your variable would be set to 1 whenever the temp is less than 84 because that is when the if statement is true.

apostolakisl,

 

Got it. I was thinking in reverse.

 

Thanks,
