question about string trigger

[Malosa]

Hi spud , i posted this in the event clinic , but because im using your plugin for testing i ask it here also , this is what ive done (test event)

My first event is the event for change a string on a device like this :

IF THE TIME IS 00:01
THEN SET CALENDAR'S TODAY STRING TO : test


Than i create another event to trigger when it contains the word :

IF CALENDAR TODAY string changes and contains: test
THEN Send pushover message

it wont trigger my message,

kind regards

[spud]

could you post screenshots of your 2 events?
thanks

Its just a test event so i really know that my event will trigger when it will contain the PMD from my calendar

I made three events, attached below. The first two do not work, the last one does. It appears the trigger does not recognize that the string has changed.

the bug is actually in the "Set device's string" action. It will be fixed in the next version (3.0.0.22) of the plugin

if you use a script to set the device string, make sure you set the last parameter of SetDeviceString to true

hs.SetDeviceString(dvRef, text, true);

Just to confirm, an immediate script as above does cause the string change to trigger.

well, I'm not sure what you saw but in version 3.0.0.22 available here
I fixed the "Set device's string" action as I said, and it now works for me for old devices or newly created ones.

I usually send a batch of updated plugins to HST once a month so that they put them in the updater. So, expect the .22 version to be in the updater by mid February, that being said you can always install manually if you want it right now.
