MatchValue Range

[rmasonjr]

Using .54 version of the Designer...

I have an HSTouch screen that displays several temperature readings. I'd like to change the font color when the temperature is within a range i.e. if the temperature <55 then change the font color to blue, or if it is >85 then change the font color to orange.

I searched around and see that MatchValue comes close, but I cant supply a range - only a specific value (see screenshot).

I suppose I could write a script to set a virtual device based on the temperature range, then use MatchStatus, but it would be much cleaner to do it all inside HSTouch.

Any ideas?

Its been in the feature request thread for months (if not years), to date I don't think its been implemented - a shame as it could save me alot of time aswell. I do something similar to what you suggest (I do not use a script) for my power useage, I did it via three events with conditional triggers for values with the range 0...1000, 1001...5000, 5001...20000 etc, the events had a single action to set the value of a virtual device to either 1, 2 or 3. Then in HSTouch I have a three images (traffic light red/yellow/green) that the value matches to the virtual devices values.

So in short, your not doing anything wrong its just not supported yet.

Ah - thanks. I guess it's off to create some virtual devices and use MatchStatus.

Sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but anyone know is this is fixed?
If it is, possible to tell me how I can make a different color on the background when a value is between for example: 1- 98.
Trying to to this for my outdoor screen controll. 0=closed and 99=open, but want another color for in between
