Copy all the device info to another device

[Chak]

Hi all,

How can I copy all the device data form one device to another one?
this one is not working..
sub main()
hs.SetDeviceValue "^98", DeviceValue "^1"

end sub

If that device isn't working then why are you wanting to make a copy of it?

I'm not sure what you would like to accomplish, but you could try
hs.SetDeviceValue "^98", hs.DeviceValue("^1")
I didn't test it, but I think it's the lack of () that is the problem in your example, but even if it works, it will copy only the device value, not the string or status, for example, nor any of the other attributes of the device.

You can also look at the drop down box at the bottom of the Status page. It allows you to copy any devices you have checked in your list (among other options).

The script will be a bit longer.
idea is to set in the new device "^98" the max temperature of the day.
script will be triggered from an event.

something like this...
When DeviceValue ^1 change
run script
If ^1 > ^98 and Sameday
^98=^1
end if

found the correct syntax, including update of the time

hs.SetDeviceString "^98",hs.DeviceString("^1"),True
hs.SetDeviceValue "^98",hs.DeviceValue("^1")
