Contol Buttons

[Eversen]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the text in the control buttons of a device in the staus page? It is now only "On" or "Off" I would like buttons what would read "Open" or "Close" etc

Thanks in Advance

Rupp,

Do I have to create an event? I'm a beginner in scripts.

OK, I figured it out, however this is not what exacly wanted, I like to have 2 buttons instead of a drop down list.

1) Is this possible?
2) How can I get the On/Off buttons back? I tried to delete the device and restore it but I keep getting the drop down list back

Have a look at deviceButtonAdd instead of deviceValueAdd.


Have a look at this example to add and remove.
(found on the board)


<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
sub Add()
' add a button to the device "A1" that allows a message to be
' spoken when the button is pressed. Label the button "speak now"
hs.DeviceButtonAdd "A1","speak.txt(""main"",""hello"")","speak hello"
hs.DeviceButtonAdd "A1","speak.txt(""main"",""test"")","speak test"
hs.DeviceValuesAdd "A1","On" & chr(2) & "100" & chr(1) &_
"Off" & chr(2) & "0" & chr(1) &_
"My Status" & chr(2) & "29" & chr(1) &_
"~35%" & chr(2) & "35" & chr(1) &_
"My other status" & chr(2) & "55",True
end sub

sub Remove()
' remove the button added above
hs.DeviceButtonRemove "A1","speak hello"
hs.DeviceButtonRemove "A1","speak test"
hs.DeviceValuesAdd "A1","",False
end sub
</pre>
