Really.. Scripting 101 and I feel so stupid

[janjoh]

I must be missing something fundamental with scripting.. I have a script that can fetch the value of a light. Fine.

It also takes the current value and add 25 to it. Also fine.

But i cannot for the life of me figure out how to use CAPI to send the value back to the device?

I fount tenscripting and tenscriptingaid. But still.. i can use "on" and "off". But i can not figure out how to send a dim value??

Class BedroomSwipeToggleFloorLight
    Public Sub Main(ByVal theDevice As String)
        ''
        '' Toggle the Specified Device ON/OFF
        '' DIM is considered ON
        ''
        '' Specify the Device Name, including Locations, as a Parm
        Dim devValue As Double
        ''

        '' Get the Device Status


        devValue = hs.DeviceValue(theDevice)



        '' Toggle it
        hs.WriteLog("SampleScript", devValue.ToString)  '@DONOTEXPORT
        Select Case devValue
            Case Is < 100
                devValue = devValue + 25
                hs.WriteLog("SampleScript", devValue.ToString)  '@DONOTEXPORT
                If devValue > 99 Then
                    devValue = 99
                End If
                hs.WriteLog("SampleScript", devValue.ToString)  '@DONOTEXPORT
                hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(theDevice, True, "99%", False, False)) #<-- This is what i cannot get working, no set of the "99" parameter regardles of casting etc gets me what i wantr.


            Case Is = 99
                hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(theDevice, True, "off", False, False))

        End Select
    End Sub
End Class

Again, if i use

hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(theDevice, True, "on", False, False)) it works...

The first thing to confirm is that your device is set to be a dimmable device and there is a dimming range specified on the Status Graphics page.

Then, when you call up TenScriptAid your should see something like the image below, along with sample code to enter a dim level.

Yeah, i have all that. WHat i cannot figure out is how to convert that code into something that accepts an arbitrary integer 0-99 there is something about the variable expansion that i simply am not grasping,.

Or wait.. are all thre lines needed? I assumed that the (value)% was a place holder?

[janjoh]

Well I'll be... all lines was needed.

Strange, but now it works. Yey.
