Device variable not working from script..

[Malosa]

This is a weird issue , normal iT always work, when i use the variable in my url to push to my Sattelite iT don't work

But if i make an virtual device and set the string with easytrigger ($time) iT works when iT reads the code...

Why does that happen?

This is a part of the script (the action url)

hs.urlaction("http://192.168.0.35/web/message?text= $time "&Volumestring &tester, "POST", "", "")

Typically HomeSeer's replacement variables don't work in scripts. You'd have to use vb functions to retrieve the time and convert to a string.

Hi Al,

I did already try this:

dim timer as string = hs.replacevariables ("$time")

When i use iT in the url as &timer , the url works but no time in there

I also want iT to use to read the $$Dsa:001: but don't know how to do that


Regards

What format does the time need to be in? To retrieve a device status in a script, use CAPIGetStatus: http://homeseer.com/support/homeseer...igetstatus.htm.
