I'm using counters as flags in the system to determine whether some functionality is on or off.
Scenario:
I have a multisensor in the bathroom that senses humidity. When humidity increases > 60% turn on the bath fan. (normal operation).
Now, if I want to turn this feature on or off, I can set my counter to 1(on), or 0 (off). Ideally I want the system to default to 1(on) on a restart. (Yes, I know I can put something in the startup script), but...
On the Counters page, there's a statement "Increment and Decrement are by '1', and Reset is to '0', unless another value is entered here: <box>"
3 questions:
1) Is this box supposed to change the increment or decrement value? (ie, increment by 2... 2, 4, 6, 8 , etc..)
2) OR is this box supposed to change the default value when reset is used? (ie, reset to 1, instead of 0)
3) Does this box DO anything? If I put a value in there, it just seems to be lost.
-- if I put 2 in the box, increment and decrement are still by 1, and reset goes to 0. The box is cleared when I click increment, decrement, or reset. I don't get it. There's no "Done" button at the bottom to commit anything, just the "Submit" when I put in my value.
