Hi:
I have had HS v1.xx for a number of years, but never got down to scripting. I still consider myself a novice user of HS. I just installed HS v2.1.104.0 and wanted to completely re-vamp the control of my motion sensors. I read a thread about setting up a virtual device that would work as an occupancy sensor instead of just using the status of the motion sensor itself.
I set up the virtual device, but I don't see an easy way to set the value of the virtual device to a string like "occupied" or "vacant." I know you can set the display status on the Control Device screen, but I can't figure out how to do this from the Event/Actions screen. I also can't see how to evaluate the display status string to control other devices.
Maybe I have to use only device values (0-100), but I wanted something a little more user friendly. Is there a way to do these things without having to learn scripting?
Thanks!
